Jewish classmates of Mohsen Mahdawi speak out— One, an IDF refuser, recalls how Mohsen met with Zionists, including those cruel to him—or how, while seeking to heal campus, he even expressed sympathy for administrators (the same who ignored his pleas for help). "Most profound person I've ever met"

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

🧵I'm seeing a lot of criticism of the SCOTUS order in the Abrego Garcia case. Why, people ask, does the Court suggest that the district court may have exceeded its authority? I don't like the prospect of further delay, but I think the Court's order gets it about right. Let me explain.

Justice for Teresa Borrenpohl! We are happy to pass on that the CDA PD has referred the case to the prosecutor’s office with recommended charges for the employees of Lear Asset Management. We are hopeful that this is just the beginning. Many thanks to @abbottalynn.bsky.social for her advocacy!

You showed up for my friend Teresa. I need humanity to show up for Victor, too. He’s going to need expensive lawyers. He’s going to need expensive medical care. Hauling women out of town halls & cops shooting disabled citizens in crisis comes from the same poisoned fountainhead. IMO. An Idaho 🧵.

On Feb 7, Luz gave birth to her 2nd child. Luz went into labor only days after ICE detained Julio. Weeks later, he was in a prison in El Salvador. Her oldest daughter asks for her father daily. She wonders why he doesn’t come see her, if he doesn’t love her anymore. https://f.mtr.cool/iqegjyncfy

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport hundreds of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why. Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime. One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.

This is a stunning find, and a glimpse at the Death Star scale of "mass deportation" spending foreseen in the reconciliation bill moving through Congress. By comparison, "In the last fiscal year, D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE."
