“Biden Asylum Cases” is NYT’s framing for a story pegged to a man who got asylum 3 months into the Trump administration

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...
U.S. Reviews Biden Asylum Cases After Shooting A Homeland Security Department spokeswoman accused the previous administration of failing to vet asylum applicants "on a massive scale." The man identified as the suspect was said to have worked with the C.I.A. and fled Afghanistan in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a program born after the sudden fall of the Afghan government in 2021, when the United States withdrew its forces and the o Taliban took control of the country. The suspect received asylum from the U.S. government in April, according to three people with knowledge of the case who were not authorized to speak publicly.

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

There is talk going around that DHS is now arresting people who fly *domestically* if they have final orders of removal.

Undocumented youth should consider consulting a lawyer to find out what their record is -- especially those whose parents had prior interactions with immigration.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.

Your 70% number is just a fabrication.

And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Between tearing babies from their parents' arms and traumatizing countless children, abandoning climate action and environmental protection, and loosing RFK on public health, the Trump Administration is engaging in quite a bit of child sacrifice. To their right-mania goals.

Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.
Screenshot of a tweet from Brian Allen on X.com. It discusses JD Vance claiming settlers in the New World found “widespread child sacrifice” and that “Christian civilization ended the practice.” The tweet explains historians say this is fabricated and calls it racist revisionism. Below is an image of JD Vance speaking at a Turning Point USA event, standing at a podium with a slide behind him showing "Oxford, MS" and “University of Mississippi.”

Does he still think that?

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Our government is disappearing people and subjecting their families to unimaginable terror.
After a frantic 48-hour search, her family received a call from her on Saturday from Honduras, a country she had not lived in since she was a child. The federal government had quickly deported her, the lawyers said, and Lopez Belloza had found her way to her grandparents’ house and called her father.

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying.

www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
As she sat on a bus near a tarmac in Texas in the early hours on Saturday morning, just about 48 hours after her arrest — with handcuffs around her wrists and shackles around her feet — and saw that most of the people around her were from Honduras, too, Lopez Belloza realized she was likely being deported that very day. “The thing that was hitting me so hard, it was my education,” Lopez Belloza, who is the first in her family to go to college, said. “I was so happy when I got there [to Babson],” Lopez Belloza said. “I was just living the college life — going to events, going everywhere ... everything there was really great. I really loved the school." She and her father also had a special shared aspiration. With her business degree, Lopez Belloza was going to help her father open his own tailor shop, they hoped.

No members of the pool were present during their broadcast or taping. That was not the pool camera used.

A small but meaningful marmalade/homophobia-related victory: 2023 left, 2025 right
Tweet from me in 2023: “I'm a loyal Fortnums customer but I found this pretty off — the word "effete" has been used for generations to mock and deride gay men, it doesn't belong on a marmalade jar.” I’m holding a jar of marmalade which says: “Noted 1920s actor-manager, SIR NIGEL PLAYFAIR, was used to getting what he wanted -like the thick-cut, tough-guy marmalade remembered from his childhood rather than the effete flapper versions fashionable at the time. So we made it for him, and discovered he was absolutely right.” A shot from 2025 with me holding a jar of the same marmalade, only the text now reads: “Noted actor-manager, SIR NIGEL PLAYFAIR, was used to getting what he wanted - and when he took exception to the thin-cut marmalades fashionable in the 1920s, he hankered instead for the delicious thick-cut marmalades of his childhood. So we made it for him: and the rest is delicious history.”
