🚨Heard about this earlier today; ICE is expanding to arrests at ATD (alternatives to detention) case management check-ins. Dozens of people got texts to show up weeks in advance of their normal check-in, and ended up detained. Three women let go were told to come back tomorrow with their kids.

There are six provisions of the Byrd rule. Senate Rs are planning to violate 313(b)(1)(B) & 313(b)(1)(E). Respectively, they prohibit committees from violating their instructions & prohibit the creation of long-term deficits. Senate Rs are planning to violate each with the tax parts of their bill.
