With the possibility of new fighting in #Tigray, the U.S. and the rest of the world must act now to avoid an even greater cataclysm. The painful impact of the 2020-2022 war must not be forgotten. Read the latest from Sarah Miller in @justsecurity.org. www.justsecurity.org/132370/tigra...

Huge decision in DVD case on removals to third countries! DHS “policy fails to satisfy due process, not least [because] nobody really knows anything about these purported “assurances.”….How can anyone even know for certain that they exist?” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DHS is only now admitting that one of their agents shot and killed 23-year-old Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen, last March. Another day, another DHS lie exposed. Congress must rein in this abusive, lawless agency.

The judge wrote of ICE actions: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency.”

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered that 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father be freed from ICE detention. Families don't belong in detention.

The cruel, absurd, wastefulness of this is stunningly sad. From the great Carol Rosenberg: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

The admin has so warped the image of Venezuelans in the U.S. Important to get a different image out there. youtube.com/shorts/4RIQ5...

RM @meeks.house.gov: Ending TPS for Burma, in the middle of the conflict there, endangers the lives of many Burmese, including human rights and democracy activists. It's cruel and will undermine the fight for democracy in Burma. The admin must reconsider this terrible decision.

Kilmar case has been a series of mistakes by govt— in original removal order, in removal despite withholding— and now govt assigned his asylum case to “asylum free” zone of Atlanta and insists on Liberia over Costa Rica as country of removal. All for reasons Ensign conveniently can’t explain. JFC
