Reminds me of how immigration attorneys are now writing “confidential address” in humanitarian visa applications, not to protect the client from their abuser but from the federal govt

super valuable breakdown of how ICE has built a propaganda arm and what goes into it:

Please join me in donating to this:

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations.

He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

Yep, my asylum client’s young sons were taken from her by CPS in CA for two weeks until a judge finally ordered them to go back to her after she proved she in fact was a DV victim, it was so traumatizing for her and her kids! She was lucky to find a pro bono lawyer to fight her case in family court

Sharing this again in case any of y’all are able to help support Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s family while he’s held hostage by two corrupt regimes

They’d somehow have to get the habeas petition filed while they are in ICE custody in the United States, before they’re put on a plane 🤷‍♀️

Sotomayor: "The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

In more uplifting news, 1,000 people protested ICE’s abduction of a mother and children at the home of the agency’s acting head Tom Homan.

Notably, the entire population of the town is just 1,450.

#teslatakedown Golden Valley, MN, with my little protester, and my other two kids who stayed in the car, because they were afraid there would be snipers 😳🥹, thankfully there were none!

We gotta find better ways to describe these arrests, man. "Detained" ain't cutting it. Getting your car window busted out and getting dragged away isn't "detained." Getting stopped on the street and disappeared for writing an OpEd isn't getting "detained." The language needs to match the action here

Had missed this story in the Miami Herald about a man that already been granted refugee status being removed under the Alien Enemies Act declaration to CECOT. The other identified removals I'd heard of were undocumented or asylum seekers, first I'm hearing of approved refugees being targeted

In the same boat!

At my #immigrationlaw office meeting, we made 🌺 to celebrate our wins and one 🦋 to remember clients of ours, a family, deported last month after an #ICE check-in: reflecting on this loss, I’m now using this quote by @mayaschenwar.bsky.social from #Letthisradicalizeyou as my battle cry

This is absolutely catastrophic and an enormous betrayal.

Undocumented folks have been promised that this info-sharing b/w IRS and DHS wouldn’t occur so that they would pay taxes to a state that offers them nothing in return.

Now they will be rewarded with deportation.

Edit to clarify: he didn’t declare the invasion today, just trying to say that this is all happening right now

Seeing what Timothy Snyder wrote about back in 2017 play out in real time today with Trump declaring an “invasion” at the border, which he is using to find a state of “exception” or “emergency” allowing ICE to invoke the #AlienEnemiesAct to arrest whoever they deem is a terrorist or criminal

Wow! These are conditions that in the past decade we have seen inside border patrol detention facilities. But with the administration ramping up arrests, and ratcheting down releases, this level of overcrowding is becoming more common in the interior. These conditions are completely illegal.

This. Folks who are rightfully angry at current immigration policy and suppression of free speech need to listen to what activists have been arguing about criminalization & policing (even the "war on terror) have been arguing for decades, and most recently, since Summer 2020

My stomach dropped opening my email just now: Trump is attempting to vilify #immigrationlawyers for fulfilling our duty of zealously advocating for our clients. This is an attack on due process & attempt to silence those who work to protect the most vulnerable among us. @aila.org: bit.ly/41SLtet
