Proud to be alongside @uclacilp.bsky.social challenging ICE's cruel practice of luring immigrants into arrest traps in San Diego. It violates basic due process, which requires the gov't to justify re-detaining previously released ppl at a hearing before taking their freedom & tearing families apart.

Some great news for your Tuesday! A federal court has granted a nationwide class action injunction ordering the federal government to stop refusing to hear requests for release on bond to immigrants who originally entered across the border.
@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social New decision in this case appears to give classwide relief to people the govt now says are not amenable to bond, under the govt's bananas interpretation of everyone as arriving (for bond)* www.courtlistener.com/docket/70895...

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

The mass family separation agenda is deeply unpopular (and just wait until Bovino ramps up his unhinged operations.)
And by a 3:1 margin, Americans want legal status for long-settled immigration contributors over mass deportation.
