All summer, I’ve been speaking to a Nigerian mom of two kids who won fear-based protection in an immigration court. Under a previous admin, she would have likely been released, but ICE refused to let her out and tried to deport her to Ghana -> @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We’re appealing this unprecedented ruling against our client, Mahmoud Khalil. The Trump administration is trying to use every baseless avenue they can think of to punish and deport Mahmoud for his protected speech, but we won’t back down.

Looks like the ICE presence in Chicagoland—and I emphasize the “land” part—is purposefully operating in a way as to avoid media coverage. By grabbing people here and there on city edges, outskirts & random suburbs, they don’t attract activity that generates coverage, let alone protest.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

President Trump just signed a memorandum spreading the military crackdown to Memphis, Tennessee—coincidentally, the Blackest city in America. The National Guard, FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE, Homeland Security Investigations, and U.S. Marshals will all be present. trib.al/xa3Mx6a

this is a critical time for media analysis. if you report at face value the (false) premise that the federal government occupying cities is in any way an attempt to fight "crime," what you write becomes stenography for an authoritarian power-building project, intentionally or not
