My mom is an accidental immigration law journalist as she found out there are 44 open Chief Immigration Judge positions Sounds like they’re restaffing a bunch of immigration courts with regime-selected judges, and the existing crop is already pretty anti immigrant anyway

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

Bukele has some constraints of his own working against the charade. His official line is they are being held for the US, they're accused of nothing under Salvadoran law even through the usual sham process, and b/c of that he dodges directly saying he'd refuse if the US said release or return them.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.
