NY Times Quote of the Day from yours truly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/p...

Judge Crawford, summing up his finding on due process: "If the Government detained Mr. Mahdawi as punishment for his speech, that purpose is not legitimate, regardless of any alleged First Amendment violation. Immigration detention cannot be motivated by a punitive purpose."

Another horrible story of family separation. "The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/w...

Poignant opinion by Judge Wilkinson in the Fourth Circuit.

This is literally DEI.

Just making up the rules as they along, despite the fact that there already rules in place about this.

More use of “tech” to enforce the whims of government. Not all that different from the strategy used in the recent SEVIS terminations. Forget about the law, just “delete”.

As a jew, I do not like this one bit.

The Notice to Appear filed by DHS against Mahmoud Khalil contains a glaring error in its factual allegations. Embarrassing error for such a high-profile case.

My clients, colleagues, and I were blindsided by the sudden and immediate change in USCIS forms this week. Tens of thousands of applications could be affected. Thank you @aila.org and Benach Collopy LLP for bringing litigation to try to right this wrong. bit.ly/4itlvEV
