Expanded a bit on this in this article; seems that agents are often either in noncompliance with the flight risk requirement for warrantless arrests, or the need to serve warrants in warranted arrests (and they’ve been caught filling out blank warrants after an arrest)

Expect the administration to begin publicly justifying detentions and deportations by pointing out when people didn’t show up to court. “They had a chance to go to court and disappeared instead! Their claims are frivolous!” Even if people miss court because they could well be arrested there

So let me get this straight, in the span of two days, federal agents blocked a reporter from accessing public immigration courts, barged into a congressman’s office and arrested a staff member for trying to block them, and raided a restaurant in military gear, tossing flashbangs, to arrest workers?

A lot of folks have seen the videos: masked agents approach a person or a vehicle, don’t show identification or warrants, refuse to answer questions, bust windows. For @newrepublic.com, I tried to answer the question of whether this is all strictly legal, and the broader one of how much that matters

Yet another example of how well-meaning liberals and "public safety" moderates embrace surveillance technologies at their own peril. The license plate readers that a bunch of cities set up to "fight crime" and prevent car thefts are being used to track immigrants and look for folks getting abortions

I think everyone worried about mass deportation really needs to take seriously that 287g agreements will become the norm, not the exception. www.azfamily.com/video/2025/0...

I took my students to Varick St a couple months ago. I would think twice about that field trip now, as I would fear for my students’ safety

This effectively makes it impossible to comply with the law. Attend your hearings as ordered and you will be arrested. Don’t attend and you will be ordered deported in absentia and lose any chance of obtaining status

I’m in @newrepublic.com trying to answer some basic questions that a lot of folks have had about at-large immigration arrests: can agents be masked? Must they show warrants? Is any of this legal? I do my best to explain

Shot a little bit of Lomochrome turquoise. Very other-worldly feel. Don't know that I like it as much as the less-aggressive Lomo purple, but it's a vibe for sure (my assessment of both is similar: technically terrible film with high grain and low latitude, and also boy do I enjoy it.)

It’s also just so deeply weird to be an elected official posting a photo of just some person being like “ha ha look at this person, don’t they seem like they suck” like what are you doing

The basic thing I want people to understand is that there is effectively no noncitizen whom the administration can’t find a compliance error with if they go fishing. It doesn’t matter how scrupulously you’ve tried to “follow the law,” it is such a minefield that there is always going to be something

This, much like getting rid of enforcement prioritization standards, is not incidentally but specifically targeting exactly the people who are trying to comply with the law. The message here is you shouldn’t try to comply because they’ll grab you for the trouble

Not much to add to this robust and disturbing reporting except to say that it’s ultimately on all of us in the industry (and every industry) to notice and to act to protect our colleagues

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

Maybe I’m missing something here but can the government short circuit an asylum claim simply by moving to dismiss a case? I know these are defensive claims but still seems like there’d be something impeding the termination of an ongoing claim without resolution

My guys, just fund some liberal media outlets at a fraction of the cost. An entire alternate reality has been painstakingly generated by a robustly-funded conservative media apparatus, literally just pay reporters to cover how Trump wants to torpedo the country and investigate local corruption

I teach this great piece by Debbie Nathan in my unit on data and how even "real" numbers can be heavily misleading or manipulated. Basic premise is that CBP was reporting huge numbers of assaults on agents, which didn't pass the smell test 1/

This is especially amusing to me in the context of journalism, which culture war types consider the uber-elite profession, while 90%+ of journalists nationwide are probably out-earned three-to-one by the guy that did their plumbing
