El Refugio is a house where people visiting detained immigrants can stay. The org's head said this year has been the hardest ever, but the volunteers’ work is a reminder that “in the midst of everything, there is something you could do.”

That Ochopee facility is the Everglades facility. The one with the cruel, alliterative title. I believe this is the first time that ICE has reported it on this list. (The agency should've been reporting this facility all along).
On first review, three facilities that I have not seen recently that are now on the list:
- Florida Soft-Sided Facility, Ochopee, FL
- Kansas City Holdroom, Kansas City, MO
- Sioux County Jail, Orange City, IA

The goal of American immigration is and must be integration, not assimilation. People become American because we subtly shift the meaning of American to include them. Certainly, new arrivals move _more_ in that process, but society changes too, and that's success, not failure. 2/2

The "safe third" agreement the US signed with Honduras says Honduras will take *any* asylum seekers the US wants to send, with few limits. Judges in the US are pretermitting asylum applications because of it, even though a separate implementation plan says Honduras will only take 10 people a month.
Asylum seekers also told their claims will not be adjudicated and that they will be sent to Honduras to seek asylum there under an asylum cooperative agreement. This is to coerce people Into giving up since many more asylum cases have been pretermitted that can be transferred under the agreement.
A huge cause of this drop in asylum grant rates is the rise of “pretermission”; judges denying applications without ever having a hearing. This used to be incredibly rare and now it’s become normal, with the Trump admin strongly pushing judges to deny on minor technical faults and red tape issues.

Miami is probably not breaking new ground, but the first time I've seen it here yet:
Oral motion to pretermit based on C-I-G-M/"asylum cooperative agreement" with Honduras.
And unlike 239.2 dismissals in Miami, this was an entire family unit.
