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.

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.

Political Science still has DDRIG grants, funded by NSF but administered directly by APSA.
They're trying to break the pipeline for future social science research.
"There are no current DDRIG grants available for any discipline in the Directorate for Social Behavioral and Economic Sciences, as it appears that the NSF has archived—which means cancelled—the DDRIG grants in every SBE field"

If he believes “the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal” he has no idea what he’s doing. Of course that’s been obvious all along unless what he wants to be doing is representing the Russian Federation. Then he does know what he’s doing.
A private call between Trump-appointed envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin advisor Yuri Ushakov was just leaked — and it shows the American envoy effectively acting as a strategist for Moscow.
