BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

ProPublica & @opb.org obtained documents revealing that new Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon was behind what regulators called an “aggressive push” to waive proof-of-income requirements at his car loan company. Officials are currently weighing $870M in public funding to rebuild the NBA team’s arena.

"Hosting the world means preparing for the basics, making Atlanta a city where everyone — tourist or neighbor — can meet their needs with dignity."

This is a terrible story. I will point out that incarcerated people are commonly targeted for identity theft bc there's no Experian in prison; however I've seen very few stories about this. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

“There is enough evidence that has come out that tells us there is a group of specifically Latina women who are caught in an intersection of aggressive immigration enforcement and shrinking reproductive access… They are being forced to choose between their freedom or their health.”

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

So proud to announce that detainees held at Alligator Alcatraz won their preliminary injunction and motion for class certification in challenging lack of access to counsel. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71155... /1

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

Under Trump, immigration officers have detained parents of U.S. citizens at about twice the pace of the previous administration. And compared with Biden, Trump has detained many more people with only minor criminal histories or none at all. 👉 Read our full investigation: https://propub.li/4uVy3Mu

Lawmakers passed a bill Friday, March 27, that initially pertained to regulating food trucks, but is now an elections overhaul, making a majority of local races in Metro Atlanta nonpartisan.

"Pregnant women said they were served food covered in cockroaches and water that tasted like bleach. They described how [ICE] agents shackled their hands and feet, refusing to believe that they were pregnant until a bump appeared" No one—especially pregnant people—should be held in these conditions

Staff at crisis pregnancy centers, which are generally unregulated, have no legal obligation to provide pregnant people w/ accurate info and aren’t subject to HIPAA or legally required to maintain client confidentiality. They are known to spread throughly debunked misinformation

“[Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff] Buria told [Army Secretary] Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events.” Not shocked, not surprised. The racism is a feature, not a bug, with these lowlifes. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

"Initially they had fewer than a dozen people who volunteered as delivery drivers; now they have about 130..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

Today is one of those rare days as a lawyer and scholar when the law offers a glimmer of hope. Amazingly, today, the PA Supreme Court held that automatic life-without-parole sentences for 2nd degree murder, including felony murder, amount to cruel & unusual punishment under the PA Constitution.

My latest, for @statecourtreport.org, about two important cases making their way through Kansas state courts, the connection between bodily autonomy and trans rights, and how state constitutions are being asked to meet the moment. statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

NEW: the brilliant @sharonbrett.bsky.social looks at two Kansas cases that will determine whether the state constitution’s protections of bodily autonomy and dignity extend to transgender people. Read her analysis in @statecourtreport.org. statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

“ICE has terrorized our communities and forced our neighbors — and my patients — into impossible choices: Risk being separated from your 3-year-old by attending a clinic appointment for your unborn child, or stay home and risk a pregnancy complication, or even the loss of your baby?”

Turns out that when every Somali case I have in court suddenly got expedited and reassigned to a new judge, it wasn't just me! The DOJ has officially denied that there is an expedited "Somali Docket," but now the public data refutes their denial. Here are the highlights: 🧵 bklg.org/blog/somali-...

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her. (Published Nov. 2025)

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

A shell bill in the Kentucky Senate has suddenly transitioned to a bill to implement major changes at Kentucky State University, an HBCU in Frankfort. It would change KSU to a polytechnic university over the next five years, raise admission standards and (i think?) reset all employment. #kyga26

Between 2025 and 2026, the number of people detained by ICE on any given day grew by nearly 60%. Thanks to Trump's deportation agenda, expanded immigration detention accounts for almost all of the growth in mass incarceration since last year.

Average immigration detention deaths per month from FY 2010 to FY 2024: 0.69 Average immigration detention deaths per month in FY 2025: 1.75 Average immigration detention deaths per month so far in FY 2026: 4.6 www.npr.org/2026/03/10/g...

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Just listened to this piece during my run. "Court-ordered C-section" is one of the more grisly collection of words I've come across in health law. www.propublica.org/article/flor...

363 pregnant, postpartum and nursing immigrants were deported b/w Jan 2025 and Feb 16, DHS confirms. 16 miscarried in detention. 121 actively detained as of last month. These are the first numbers we have on how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing people have been detained under Trump.

Unlike information obtained from cellphone providers, this data can be accessed without a warrant — and used to track anyone.

BALTIMORE—In surprise testimony in federal court Thursday, an immigration officer revealed that more than 100 asylum seekers were wrongfully deported in violation of a court-ordered settlement agreement in a long-running case that has gotten national attention. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

In California, police didn't investigate after two men were shot by federal immigration agents in separate incidents. Police in Phoenix said they are leaving it to the FBI and ICE to probe the shooting of a man who allegedly fled immigration agents.

NEW: When a Wisconsin mayor ended his city's contract with Flock (the AI surveillance company), he was stunned to see Flock refused to remove cameras. So he covered them with plastic bags. Now local activists are taking their fight to Madison & the Dane County sheriff, wanting more cameras gone.

From Dolores Huerta: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for… I can no longer stay silent…” Full statement: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Late civil rights icon Cesar Chavez accused of sexually abusing young girls in the movement for years Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her. Gift link:

It's simply a lie that contraband gets into prisons via nonprofits sending books to inmates. It's nearly entirely a function of guards brining contraband in to the facilities. But TDCJ won't go after corrupt guards bc they're so understaffed, so they blame inmates and prisoner support groups.

A draft executive order circulated by some conservative activists claims that if President Trump declared a national emergency, it would grant him sweeping authority over elections. @annabower.bsky.social and @mollyroberts.bsky.social investigate the legality of the order.
