I guess the fictitious Temporary Pass Status is what DHS was encouraging Haitians with TPS to obtain.

The details: 75-year-old Isidro Perez was paroled into the US in 1966, probably fleeing Fidel Castro, as a teenager. He was convicted of drug possession, but this happened over 40 years ago! ICE knew he was in poor health. Why was he detained in the first place?

"Among the items seen by officers in the car were “multiple copies of passports not registered under the individual’s name”, NBC reports." Where are these people? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

These are the people who were caught! God only knows how many people are getting away with this.

Am I a citizen? I have a passport and a REAL ID. But I cannot currently prove I was born to an American citizen.

I'm not joking. That's literally what they are saying: "Velez’s outstretched arm struck that officer in the face." You can see in the photo that her outstretched arm would not even get up to the agents' chests! www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/f...

It's literally the old "I-ran-into-her-fist" story. Sounds totally credible.

The courts invent doctrines like qualified immunity, absolute immunity, and presidential immunity to protect rights-abusing public officials from accountability, but when it comes to protecting our rights, the courts feel the need to be very conservative in their powers.

I spoke to employers who were seeking to help employees abducted by ICE - including one boss seeking freedom for a U.S. citizen staffer who was arrested in the space between their uber and the front door of their workplace.
Their boss had their U.S. passport in hand, pleading for their release.

Attorneys are ostensibly allowed to visit clients from 9-4:00 p.m. every day.
Family are only given the opportunity to meet with their loved ones from 1-4 p.m.
I arrived at 10:00 a.m. and didn't speak to the client until 1:30 p.m. - 3 and a half hours later.

This refers to at-large arrests. People not detained by any other law enforcement so ICE is out there grabbing them literally off the streets

Most of the people ICE has arrested are individuals who would lead peaceful, productive lives in the United States if they were allowed to. When will ICE admit that it thinks that outcome is a bad thing? www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...

ICE doesn't care about public safety. How do we know? People inside the agency are explicitly saying that they don't care about public safety. cato.org/blog/ice-arr...
