Wow, finally we get some answer as to what happened! They really did just run all names through law enforcement databases and terminate SEVIS status for anyone with a match, no matter the circumstances or magnitude of the "offense" (including things like speeding tickets and even dropped charges).

Pam Bondi: “This is a criminal judge sitting on a criminal bench. Anyone who is going to let anyone—any criminal defendant—out a back door is absurd.” When Trump was a criminal defendant, judges often allowed him to enter and exit court out a back door.

Atlantic: What would happen if you accidentally got the wrong person (re: deportations) - a legal resident, or even an American citizen? Trump: Let me tell you that nothing will ever be perfect in this world. This should chill you to your core. We will not be acceptable casualties to fascism.

Another huge loss at MSNBC, another truth-teller, another woman of color (after @joyannreid.bsky.social) lost. I see the roots of a new MSNBC, independent of corporate control, rising. Thank you, @katiephang.bsky.social, for fighting for democracy.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

It’s unclear exactly how many citizens have faced the Trump administration’s dragnet so far. The government does not release such figures. Neither Border Patrol nor ICE would tell ProPublica how many Americans have been mistakenly detained.
