It breaks my heart how few news articles there are on this recent EO on forced removal and institutionalization of the unhoused (and others). Did @nytimes.com even publish one? If so, it wasn't visible on my app.

I assume this EO will impact veterans. Part of my book Asylum at the Almshouse, will look at the intersections between refugees and military veterans discarded from imperial projects (US, France, Britain) in prison or the almshouse of Philadelphia (1790s/early 1800s). Lit suggestions welcome...

Which year? My Ausländerbehörde @stadtleipzig.bsky.social is processing requests to apply for citizenship from June 2022. Not actually applications, just a waiting list to start the application process.

This is just sick. via @ktla.com: Footage obtained by KTLA shows a young man crying, saying his mother had just been taken, and children and protesters running from tear gas that was deployed when a crowd gathered at an immigration raid at a Ventura County farm this afternoon

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.

The advisory is gone that the National Archives is "restricted" - who is going to be there on the 7th to check if this was really about parking? My guess, they realized it's bad to warn the public about your fascism before you do the fascism.
