“In Southern California, many groups banded together to patrol neighborhoods to alert residents of immigration sweeps and inform them of their constitutional rights.” The Community is going to save us ♥️

Migrant encounters are down, but migrant crossings are not! BP officer shows thousands of discarded wristbands from migrants that crossed earlier this week. Now, migrants don’t turn themselves in to CBP but try and avoid detection.

This is huge, if true. ICE typically keeps an individuals identification documents until the termination of their immigration case. People released from ICE won’t be able to fly to live with their families.

As of mid-Feb, daily migrant encounters at & between POEs along US border fell to about 370. The significant drop in arrivals is partially explained by the cancellation of #CBPOne parole appointments by the Trump administration. Follow @colleenputzelkav.bsky.social + I for border stat analyses

GITMO just being used as a transit stop. This update seems to be overlooked, but not surprising. “There should have been a greater degree of planning before the execution. Now execution has begun, and everyone is trying to back into planning,” a source with knowledge of the situation said.

I met someone who does welding for a contract company for SpaceX…. Pretty sure they do not have a legal status. I would not be surprised if SpaceX uses undocumented labor. The person I met said the pay is good at least! #spacex #elonmusk #immigration

@the-ilrc.bsky.social released a great toolkit for practitioners and advocates working with migrants placed in the expedited removal process. As arrests ramp up in the interior I expect we will see an increase of people placed in ER…. Biggest takeaway: AFFIRMATIVELY ASSERT FEAR OF RETURN

Will the Trump admin reverse the downward trend of deportations from the US interior? Over the past 15 years, the number fell from an average of 155,000 removals/year in FY 2009-16, to 81,000 in FY 2017-20, and plummeting further to 38,000 in FY 2021-24 www.migrationpolicy.org/content/ice-...

You had to know that eventually they would suggest privatizing the border patrol. A government contract for 25 billion dollars? Heck, Musk might table his government contract for space travel just to get in on some of this action. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Lots of talk of immigration raids and mass deportation but not a lot of action luckily. Let’s hope it stays that way…

Does anyone know what the legal status was of those who were deported? All I can find is that they “entered illegally.”

Creating fear in the hope that people self-deport… The same approach that was used in the 1950’s.

JUST IN: Judge Randolph Moss in DC blocks deportation of 8 immigrants from US, in response to emergency motion filed late last night. Administrative stay issued after DOJ couldn't immediately say what provisions the 8 were to be removed under under. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

While this is truly terrible, it is also misleading. The article states that the woman had a deportation order. Immigrants are not being deported WITHOUT a process (yet). If you have an open immigration case or an upcoming immigration court date you cannot be deported until you see the judge!

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

This article was published today, the same day that my first client was detained at an ICE check-in! Until now my clients had attended their ICE check-ins without issue. He has no other issues and I was not expecting him to be detained. In Massachusetts, of all places!

Interior detentions by ICE up, border detentions by CBP down. I have not seen any new border crossing cases in the past few weeks.

“Trump has arrested less than 600 illegals during the first 13 days of February.” Even Obama was able to deport ~ 1,200 illegal immigrants a day with less staff and no military support. Just another inept Trump program.

This Wall Street Journal video about the cost of military deportation flights is one of the wildest things I've seen in a while. It cost $2.8 million—with 2 in-air refuelings!—to deport 104 people to India on February 4. $27,000 per deported person. www.wsj.com/video/analys...

President Trump's vow to deport "millions and millions" of unauthorized immigrants is meeting harsh reality — already stretching the limits of the government's resources, less than four weeks into the new administration.
