Good news: A federal court barred Border Patrol from stopping and arresting people using practices that violate the Constitution. We shouldn't have to live our lives in fear of being stopped by ICE. @ufw.bsky.social @aclu.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social @sdicaclu.bsky.social

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

On Saturday, the FDNY rushed to 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE is holding more than 100 people in inhumane conditions, to respond to an emergency call, only to learn there was no such emergency. What's going on? hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...

NEW: Federal judges across the country are increasingly warning of a due process crisis caused by President Donald Trump’s deportation blitz. Their message: If we eliminate due process for the ‘least’ of us, Americans could be next. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

WKS: THE COURT FINDS HER CONTINUED DETENTION CANNOT STAND. BAIL IS NECESSARY. #Ozturk

This Rümeysa Öztürk hearing is radicalizing. I've been a court reporter for many years, and I've never covered anything like this: A student deeply committed to her studies, imprisoned solely over writing an op-ed, being made to testify under oath for her own freedom. Dark, dark stuff.

Art of the deal

Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi was released from federal custody on Wednesday morning following a hearing at the federal courthouse in Burlington. Mahdawi will be allowed to keep permanent residency in Vermont and will still be allowed to go to Columbia www.mynbc5.com/article/mohs...

Speaking to NPR in his first media interview since his detention, lawful permanent U.S. resident Mohsen Mahdawi finds peace in meditation and hopes "America will fulfill its promise."

Attorney general Pam Bondi authored a memo instructing ICE to utterly ignore the fourth amendment in conducting Alien Enemies Act arrests and “deportations” to foreign prisons.

NYC public school parents: please vote in your CEC elections. Here are recommendations from Families for Change: www.familiesforchangenyc.org/voting

SCOTUS: Govt must give notice at a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow ppl being targeted under alien enemies act to actually seek habeas relief Govt: we’ll give them a form, in English, that doesn’t mention habeas or any right to any review and send them to CECOT 12 hours later

Criminal warrants from the judiciary are not necessary. Administrative warrants are recommended “as much as practical”. So, no warrant needed.

Bondi alien enemies act memo: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25... in addition to saying multiple times that there is no judicial review, -It says agents can enter homes without a warrant -It says agents can arrest on "reasonable belief," instead of "probable cause"; including in homes

March 14 Pam Bondi memo called for no due process for those being removed under Alien Enemies Act. Memo obtained & reported on by @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child today, a baby boy. In a statement, she said, “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family…”

🎉BREAKING: We won! The judge just officially stayed (blocked) the federal notice that was set to end humanitarian parole for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela on April 24th. The court also granted us class certification. Stay tuned for more details on what this ruling means!

"Pete Belton, 44, from Ilkeston says he was shocked to find his forearm featured in a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document used to help identify alleged members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a transnational criminal organisation." www.bbc.com/news/article...

The obscenity (and the menace to Jews) of these officials pretending any of this police state assault on our constitutional order has anything to do with concern about antisemitism is off the charts. Just diabolical.

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil" "Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs." Free this man immediately. apnews.com/article/mahm...

Brief from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and more than 80 universities says arrests and deportations of student protesters create a “climate of fear” at universities across the country. This is a big deal—the first time universities have weighed in. knightcolumbia.org/documents/eh...

Re-upping this. These students are in the gulag while universities figure this out…every day is shameful

The fight over Alien Enemies Act continues—> W/ Marianne Levine

When I worked at the Bronx Defenders we helped so many immigrants file back taxes. Promised them it would be ok. I hate myself for ever trusting that information would be safe.

Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

🚨 SCOOP: Acting IRS chief Melanie Krause plans to quit after the agency agreed to share confidential tax info with immigration officials to aid in deportations. She also clashed with DOGE over plans for IRS's future & orders to cut staff. **Three IRS leaders have quit since Trump took office.**

A federal judge expressed concern on Tuesday that the Trump administration pulled a “big switcheroo” on millions of undocumented migrants in the country by suddenly proposing a universal registration system set to take effect on Friday. @ryanknappy.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/federal-judg...

these people ought to learn how to speak english

Nine justices, three circuit judges, one district judge; more than half a dozen written opinions—and none of them has offered a word of support for the government on the merits of its invocation of the alien enemies act

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant. This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech. @nyclu.org @ccrjustice.org @theimeu.bsky.social
