Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

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

"It was supposed to be a celebratory milestone, the final step in the process to obtain U.S. permanent residency. Instead, as each interview with an immigration officer wrapped up, federal agents swooped in, handcuffed the foreign spouse and took him or her away."

A few years ago, a friend handed me a beautiful pocket screwdriver, with 24 tiny bits cradled inside its smoothly spinning frame. I could imagine a fashion model holding it in the pages of a magazine.
“Keep it,” my friend told me. It wasn’t pricey; he’d bought a whole bunch just to give away. 🧵

The Trump Administration seems to be handpicking deportees to test a new approach to mass deportation: sending people to nations where they had no ties, and to places that were not safe, and where they are subject to indefinite detention abroad. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/YAjCKA
