Sounds like she has a valid work permit based on a pending marriage-based adjustment application. Pure cruelty and indifferent wastefulness to detain her and her poor daughter rather than allow USCIS to decide the application. So many people need to be fired. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Give us more money and we will not deport U.S. citizens, which we were absolutely not doing, but we will stop. To the best of our ability.

BIA showing off a neat trick. Take 7 years to decide an appeal of an IJ decision granting a noncitizen a green card and, wouldn't you know it, they no longer have minor children and so don't qualify for that application. Ordered removed to Mexico. links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2...

The amount of work it takes just to not have your client in jail or not shackled with an ankle bracelet or not have their ID documents illegally confiscated by ICE—for situations where this stuff never would’ve been an issue but the past—is just obscene.

BIA drops Matter of D-J-L-: TLDR: Witness had studied torture in Haitian prisons including torture of "criminal deportees" from the U.S., became expert in the field, formed opinion that returning people to such torture is bad, is thus unqualified to be an expert. www.justice.gov/eoir/media/1...

NEW: Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubenstein (R) who prosecuted Tina Peters says Gov Jared Polis (D) giving Peters clemency "would be a gross injustice." Rubenstein points out that separate case cited by Polis to justify clemency misses the purpose of sentencing ranges.

So Congress is just a vestigial tail of the government at this point?

I really, genuinely dislike "Calvinball" analogies to most of the recent decisions of the Supreme Court. But "we have never applied this thing we invented during COVID to this other new thing" is worthy of the designation. Thanks, Justice Kavanaugh.

I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future.

Starting to think Pam Bondi's Board of Immigration Appeals might not be on the level.

What is going on in the nation's immigration courts right now is an absolute scandal.

You do a few extrajudicial killings in Minnesota and no one in the lamestream media will talk about all the extrajudicial killings you do in the Caribbean.

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

To anyone tempted to celebrate Noem's big announcement that ICE will use body cams and that it will be expanded nationwide as funding is available... That's already been official ICE policy for over two years. www.ice.gov/news/release....

Love that policymakers haven’t even bothered to learn how the current system works.

At a bare minimum, all these rich men were still emailing him, asking to visit the island, getting his advice on women (and obviously much worse), and generally kissing his ass for years after this.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

"Don Lemon has been taken into custody after 9/11 attacks" would be just as accurate and informative.

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out. we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

How could it be fascism if it’s wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross?

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff. They're afraid. One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.” @notus.com: www.notus.org/immigration/...

"Why aren't our officers welcomed in restaurants?" people.com/ice-agents-a...

Wemby’s paying attention and knows that noncitizens have freedom of speech only up to the point where they annoy Marco Rubio enough that he writes a vague letter. Then it’s just detention and stacked courts against you.

What is going on in the nation's immigration courts right now is an absolute scandal.

Dante called them circles rather than sectors but point taken.

As always this is not remotely how this provision works. It's for arriving individuals inadmissible for reasons that wouldn't subject them to expedited removal. That's almost no one. No rational reading of the statute allows anything close to this.

I spoke with a dem senator this week who was actually seriously contemplating giving DHS more money because it meant body cameras & therefore accountability. 1. That opinion was problematic always. 2. That opinion is outrageous after today’s events. Dems need to step up or move out of the way.

There is nothing immigration could do that is worse than what US immigration restriction and policing is doing to us

We owe an incredible debt to the Minnesotans who are on the streets protesting and documenting what is happening.

Grabbing people off the street is only the first layer of harm. Behind the scenes, government lawyers push a bad faith and unlawful expansion of mandatory detention. And DOJ circulates secret guidance telling immigration judges to ignore a class action ruling finding the expansion plainly illegal.

Congress in the Land of the Free:

Regardless, detention is a choice. They have all the authority in the world to just NOT detain someone and instruct them to report back in a few days with their documents through a process called deferred inspection. But the policy choice now is to lock people up whenever they can.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Person, woman, Iceland, camera, TV

Makes me think of that classic of Soviet humor: in a labor camp in Siberia, one prisoner turns to the other and says "if only comrade Stalin knew..."

We, being a major military power, *must* attack the Danes because the Danes are incapable of defending their land against a major military power. Wonder where that line of logic ends?

Jesus. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Good to see the US going back to its roots and only accepting immigrant groups who are already rich, like the Irish, Italians, and Poles were when they came to the US. Every American family has a story of an ancestor who got off the boat with a million dollars in their pocket

“These incidents will continue until morale improves”

New Board of Immigration Appeals Precedent Decision: Applicants for asylum can show requisite persecution only after they are actually murdered. www.justice.gov/eoir/media/1...

A broad-based amnesty is a necessary part of whatever comes next and political leaders should start articulating that.

So Bovino and his band rolled into town saying they were needed to make Minneapolis safer, then proceeded to do so by committing the year's only homicide, attacking a school dismissal, and forcing kids to stay home from school city-wide.

I am begging for congressional democrats to be pushing actual amnesty/immigration reform every single day. Show us what you’re actually going to do to change this.

Good time to remind myself how powerful it is that people with no obligation other than their own conscience are showing up to bear witness to immigration enforcement and court hearings.

Had this woman not been murdered, she'd have been arrested and charged based on the allegations in the ICE statement. Then they quietly would have dismissed all charges when it became clear video and other evidence showed all the claims are B.S. We've seen it countless times. Instead, she's dead.
