Just realized that I’m going to the city where I had it for a family event, but also have to make a work stop at the USCIS office around lunch on one day…which means I can sneak over for a bowl

I’m hoping for chatter among AILA and other national orgs soon. These are recent trends and I may be reading the tea leaves early. And I’m yet to see how Immigration Judges take DHS arguments to recalendar and hear SIJS cases. But it seems like a coordinated effort to gut the program across agencies

So where does that leave the kids with approved SIJS? In the lurch from what I can tell, but I haven’t sussed it all out yet. They are being pushed towards applying for asylum or withholding as DHS attempts to ram them through court proceedings as the admin makes SIJS a benefit without relief.

Dept of State seems to have stopped issuing the visa category for SIJS recipients - EB-4. And USCIS policy just officially changed to halt consideration for deferred action grants going out with approved SIJS petitions. And DHS is now opposing admin closure of proceedings based on SIJS approval

This is a topic of conversation more ripe for offline discussions, and I have no doubt there is a plethora of ink spilled on the subject, so maybe I shouldn’t frame it as “the left at large needs to reckon.” I’ll go seek some sources and do some reading instead of begging the question as a lowbie

Idk why I posted this in such an odd tone/parlance I’m stoned and sleepy let me live

Just before the previous clip, the skater kid was practically taunting the Border Patrol agents by dancing around their munitions shots.

That was my initial thought too. They found a way to bring him back that allows them to still look hardnosed on immigration, not own up to a mistake, nor give a meaningful precedent to return others detained there

Zoomed in and the first line I see reads “this is a clusterfuck that no one should ever use.” That’s how you know it’s good code right?

What I wouldn’t give for a party with the discipline to play a long game of rhetorically pulling his momentum and assistance towards retaking the White House, and then almost immediately springing cuffs on him for his many prosecutable personal and business practices over the decades

This inane rage brought to you by trying to put a “lunch” block on my schedule this afternoon since I’m going at an abnormal time, but Outlook kept assuming that if I titled an appointment “lunch” it should be set for tomorrow at noon and automatically altered those fields

Now that’s a concept I can get behind. Seems that for them it’s only “final” if it ends in a removal order. Not how I interpret the term, but maybe that’s why I’m not on their side of the table.

Not even. They’re citing Avetisyan and W-Y-U- without any analysis. Bald assertions of “unreasonable delay” and the “important public interest in the finality of immigration proceedings” to against closures for kids with approved SIJS and current grants of deferred action. Boilerplate motions.

Yuuuuup
I saved this when I saw it ages ago, and it's been true since the Carter administration at the absolute latest

If the mulch is still good, that’s just a free iron plate for you to do what you wish with. Good deal
