Sometimes you can walk into immigration court, get the result you were looking for, and still walk out madder than you walked in

This is pernicious and goes way beyond sports. By using the fraud or misrepresentation provision of the INA, the State Department is essentially stating that any trans person who represents their gender as anything other than what they were assigned at birth is committing fraud.

I don’t know what to call this but flamboyantly evil.

Another in a long line of DHS attempts to convince people to just leave and try to come back with a visa while conveniently failing to mention they’ll be ten-year-barred by 212(a)(9)(B).

With search engines and social media algorithms blasting around false narratives, solid local reporting on what is actually happening in our communities makes all the difference. Excellent work here. Thank you!

Let's talk about some of the reporting on the ICE raids that took place in Denver/Aurora yesterday. There are clearly some inaccuracies circulating online right now Let's start with this one It's categorically not true. (this aired this morning on @FoxNews) 1/

At some point it’s going to become clear just how much ICE field offices are juking the stats to try to hit their arrest numbers. We’re already seeing egregious examples.

acting head of public diplomacy at the State Department under the supposedly normal Marco Rubio. fired for going to a white nationalist conference in Trump's first term, but apparently now that's no longer disqualifying

Flagrant constitutional violations, long an ICE specialty, will jump exponentially with the arrest quota directives.

ICE published data on his case. CA5 denied stay of removal, then granted his PFR on his CAT claim but noted that he'd already been deported and the day following his deportation, the El Salvadoran gov't published a photo of him on his knees between armed agents. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

My 80 year old dad is very concerned that ICE will try to arrest landscapers on his property. Just had a know your rights talk with my parents to deny ICE access to the property and to know the difference between an ICE warrant and a real warrant. Everyone has a role to play here.

Denver Public Schools reminder: No ICE enforcement allowed at our schools.

Working to promote public safety by ensuring noncitizens and their families are terrified to go to local cops as victims/witnesses to serious crimes?

We are 100% going to see significant numbers U.S. citizens arrested and sometimes detained for days/weeks before they (hopefully) sort it out. Particularly vulnerable: those who have limited English, diminished capacity, or who derived citizenship through parents (rather than being born here).

We’re on day 4 of the second Trump admin and have already reached “ICE arrests citizens in warrantless raid” www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

How long until they give the USCIS "Emma" chatbot cuffs and a gun?

! The Trump administration wants ICE to build four detention centers each with 10,000 bed capacity. Only the LA County Jail and Rikers are larger, and that's about the size of the Cook County and Harris County jails. That would cost tens of billions and require thousands of new personnel.

Trump works to do everything in his power (and beyond) to inflict punishment on immigrants and their families even though Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric do not exist but for their mother breaking immigration laws to escape a desperate situation.

The White House ordering DOJ to drop pending prosecutions is a breach of the department’s traditional independence that would be an earthshaking scandal under ordinary circumstances.

In one of the EOs, Trump claims an inherent constitutional authority to suspend the entire immigration and nationality act and all other relevant federal laws and simply turn away migrants. I am not making this up.

He'll sign an order to disregard the 14th Amendment within minutes of raising his hand promising to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.

NEW—Senator Britt has been sharing a document defending the Laken Riley Act with other senators raising concerns. The problem is, the document makes a number of significant errors. We obtained a copy and marked it up, explaining where her office got the facts and law wrong. 1/5

Douglas County taxpayers about to pay out the nose for detentions in violation of state law.

Wow. Pretty shocking behavior by the Border Patrol agent to preemptively slash a guy's tires because he wouldn't hand over his car keys.

Not great that the imminent horror show from the U.S. gov’t is what the *German far-right* is trying to catch up to…

The "getting behind the Laken Riley Act in order to lay the groundwork to fight Trump harder later" rationalization, if true, is the most inane reason for capitulation yet.

Still true.

Decisions informed by all the logic and nuance of an old Pace Picante ad.
