Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Turns out ICE arresting Catholic faith leaders who showed up for immigrants at San Diego court today is a line in the sand ICE will not cross. Yet. Thankful to the faith leaders protecting immigrants in San Diego today #UnmaskICE

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Judge Wilkinson's opinion for a 3-0 panel in the Abrego Garcia case is written for the parties, but also for the public & perhaps a nod at SCOTUS. I go through it in this piece, which I think provides a much-needed boost for all of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-fourth-c...

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

Watching this Trump-Bukele meeting with chime-ins from Miller, Bondi and Rubio. There's just no question about the game they're playing. A stream of lies and escalations and absolute nonsense that any sane person can see through instantly. Astonishing that so many don't.

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

SCOTUS seems to think it's ok for the admin, without due process, to use a wartime law during a time when we are not at war, intended to target enemy aliens when in fact those targeted are not enemies. And the remedy for abuse of the law enables the govt to venue shop where challenges will be heard.
