“The money that Trump is using to bring the National Guard here, he should use it to make more activities and more programs…And then he should use it to give us better job opportunities. That would help with safety.” - Maya Thompson, 16 www.wbez.org/public-safet...

1/ THREAD: It’s with deep regret we share the news that SAPIENS will halt publication of new content by the end of this year. We are so proud of everything SAPIENS has achieved and for our role in furthering public anthropology. Wenner-Gren’s letter to our community. wennergren.org/important-ne...

This is really sad news. Sapiens was a fantastic medium to share, promote and diversify anthropology and the platform where many people (like me) learnt and developed skills in science communication. Times are tough, but Sapiens’ niche is now left empty ☹️ wennergren.org/article/sapi...

🚨 Trump's border "invasion" declaration was just ruled unlawful "nothing in the INA or the Constitution grants the President or his delegees the sweeping authority asserted in the Proclamation and implementing guidance."

Careful guys, if you don’t control migration you might turn out like <checks notes> the greatest, wealthiest city in the world.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Top Justice Department officials consistently lied to federal courts and ignored their orders as part of a willful campaign to deport migrants without due process. Just a shocking series of allegations, especially about Bove. And Bove's Senate hearing is tomorrow. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

🚨🚨🚨 In the last two hours, the Trump admin: - Banned all immigrant visas from 19 countries, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela - Banned all student and researcher visas to Harvard - Colluded with Texas to kick 20,000 undocumented college students off of in-state tuition.

Some big moves at EOIR. The Acting Chief Immigration Judge is now Anna C. Little (a NY IJ). Jeffrey Miller who was hired as Acting Regional Deputy Chief Immigration Judge in January appears to be out. Miller was also ACIJ over the Houston courts. More... www.justice.gov/eoir/office-...

🚨 The Bukele regime has arrested Ruth Eleonora López, a prominent human rights defender and the head of the anti-corruption and justice unit at Cristosal, a leading Salvadoran human rights organization. Cristosal has denounced her detention as an enforced disappearance.

if you’ve recently traveled into or out of the US and had any unusual interactions with CBP, i’d like to hear about them (regardless of immigration status—citizens, permanent residents, visa holders) email: gaby @ the verge dot com, i’m also on signal ✨

Abrego García was removed to El Salvador in violation of US law and in violation of our obligations under international law. US courts have ordered the US government to fix its "mistake." To be very clear: if Trump asked Bukele to return him, he would.

If your client or loved one has been disappeared by the US gov, whether to Guantánamo, a Salvadoran gulag, or some other incomunicado/unregistered ICE or CBP facility, I urge you to report it to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (thread): www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

EOIR's entire 2024-2028 strategic plan has also been terminated by the new administration, through an email sent to staff earlier today. The website where it was formerly hosted is now blank. A separate 2024 Workforce Plan has also been unceremoniously revoked.

I was informed yesterday that my course on the far right at the University of Virginia was flagged by the Goldwater Institute for being "DEI/Anti-MAGA Instruction."

It's not just undocumented immigrants. The Trump birthright citizenship EO says that every child born to a parent here on any non-immigrant visa (including student visas and other visas which allow people to live in the US for years) is not a US citizen. Unconstitutional in the extreme.
