ICE just released new detention statistics. As of November 30, 2025, ICE was detaining 65,735 people across the United States. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

That Ochopee facility is the Everglades facility. The one with the cruel, alliterative title. I believe this is the first time that ICE has reported it on this list. (The agency should've been reporting this facility all along).

‘A sad, cruel moment’: 58 Florida children leaving US amid parent deportations

America’s scientific leadership is being systematically eviscerated. In front of us.

South Floridians from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela expecting to become U.S. citizens this week learned instead that their naturalization ceremonies had been canceled after the Trump administration issued a sweeping directive aimed at halting immigration from so-called high-risk countries.

"The 6-year-old is part of a growing number of children arrested and detained by ICE" God have mercy

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people. He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*. The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us. We, the people.

Scoop: The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the United States earlier this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for broad swaths of people. More coming soon.

NEW: The official USCIS guidance on this pause is out. Until further notice from the USCIS Director, all immigration benefits (including citizenship) are indefinitely suspended for nationals of 19 countries, as are all affirmative asylum applications from nationals of any country.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Great thread on giving, with my unabashed +1 recommendation to give to @ndlon.bsky.social as much and as frequently as you can. They’ve been doing so much more, for so much less, in deep support of communities, for as long as I’ve known them (25 years!!)

I’m biased. I think @ndlon.bsky.social is worthy recipient of donations. I proudly tell institutional donors that we do more with less than any other organization I know.  We always pledge to put every penny donated to the best use possible. And we do. You can donate here ndlon.org/donate/ 9/

DHS swept Chicago to get ‘the worst’ criminals. Many have no record. Aggressive tactics have been deployed to round up more than 4,000 people, only a small portion of whom have major criminal records, w/ @marianne_levine & @mariasacchetti.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

In a new social media post, Donald Trump hinted that he might stop nearly all legal immigration to the United States. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

A 19-year-old student at Babson College was detained at Logan Airport then deported to Honduras while she was trying to travel to Texas for Thanksgiving, according to her attorney Todd Pomerleau.

This was eye-opening for me.

This is completely unhinged behavior.

This is a really, really important ruling that could keep many, many thousands of people from unnecessary detention.

New: A federal judge in California ruled that Trump's administration cannot impose mandatory detention on thousands of migrants held by U.S. immigration authorities nationally without first giving them an opportunity to seek release on bond. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

NEW: The DOJ tells Judge James Boasberg that Kristi Noem made the decision that flights that had departed should continue on to El Salvador, in contravention of the court’s orders.

Appreciate @nationalacademies.org speaking up about the RFK jr directed changes to CDC website and pointing out that the science cited did not include the greater context or full body of research. Where is the “radical transparency”?

“I think most Americans would be stunned to learn that international adoptees have not all been automatically granted the same status as their U.S. parents. Several grown adoptees have already been deported, including individuals who came to the United States as infants”

Now that’s a lede. Story by @taracopp.bsky.social and @michelleboorstein.bsky.social. Read here: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"California’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office warned that the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act could strip hundreds of millions of dollars a year in #CalFresh food aid from low-income Californians and shift billions in costs to state and counties." www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

Link to study:

NEW: An analysis finds that NIH funding cuts have disrupted at least 383 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants that were enrolled in studies that were testing treatments for conditions including cancer, heart disease and brain disease.

Based on data we got in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, DHS statistics show that the agents have worked about 33 percent fewer hours on child exploitation than is typical and at least five times as many hours on immigration enforcement.

The cost of Trump's immigration surge: Stalled investigations into child sexual abuse, Iranian oil smuggling and human trafficking, among others. My latest piece is a big team effort on how DHS has been transformed into the Department of Deportation. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

The #SupremeCourt will review a Ninth Circuit ruling that struck down the government’s prior “turnback” policy, which blocked people from seeking asylum at ports of entry and forced them back to Mexico. Our organizations are serving as co-counsel in this case. Read more below.

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

The Trump administration was ordered by a judge to stop freezing or threatening to withhold federal grant funds to schools in the University of California system as part of a campaign to impose policy changes on elite colleges

Fed. judge holds that the Trump administration engaged in coercive and retaliatory conduct in violation of the First and Tenth Amendments in its pretextual attacks on the University of California system. PI granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump administration directed visa officers to consider obesity — and other chronic health conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes — as reasons to deny foreigners visas to the U.S.

What Ken Paxton is doing here is deranged -- suing organizations that provide legal assistance to immigrants (especially immigrant children) -- and also we should see it as the test case for what the GOP wants to do.

Migrants at largest US detention camp face foul water, rotten food, congresswoman says reut.rs/4qRPCLg

Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.

Today the Supreme Court heard a very, very technical case about whether a government contractors (in this case, private prison company GEO Group) should get essentially qualified immunity for contractors (I'm oversimplifying). The answer, it seems, will be no. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

Looks like his 15 minutes is going to turn into a lot more…

Spoiler alert: there is very little mention of the students’ immigrant origins & almost exclusive focus on English language acquisition.

We analyze California’s Teacher Performance Expectations to see which skills & knowledge teacher candidates are supposed to develop during their training program to prepare them to teach children of immigrant backgrounds.

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

JUST IN: Federal judge tells U.S. Border Patrol Gregory Bovino to have his own body-worn camera by Friday. Bovino told her he has no camera, and he's not been trained to use one.

NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go: "'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Isn’t this the dude that encouraged Clinton to “get tough on migration” by signing IIRIRA?

The Sun-Times is reporting Border Patrol took at least two teenage boys today when they hit Little Village, again. One is said to be a 16-year old student, U.S. citizen, and student at Benito Juarez Community Academy.

CPS confirms a landscaper detained this week was on district property. It appears to be the first time a @chipubschools.bsky.social vendor or employee was picked up during the federal immigration enforcement campaign. chicago.suntimes.com/education/20... by @mannycam.bsky.social
