NEW: A DOJ notice encouraging immigrants to "self-deport' is being posted in immigration courts across the country and sent to lawyers, including when their clients have won asylum. Attorneys say the notice is misleading and a "scare tactic" that could lead to people skipping proceedings.

Of course they will. This admin will eventually use anything to justify activating LE and natl guard/mil forces, whether the event is real or not. They crave their own Reichstag fire moment. And if history is an indicator, it shouldn't be too far off in the future.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
