What's going with habeas and ICE kidnappings is a perfect example of what I mean when I say courts won't save us.
Recently, ICE/the BIA made up a rule, saying nearly everyone ICE kidnaps is subject to "mandatory detention" (ie, no bail/bond).
282 out of 288 of judges to hear habeas cases disagree.

![The gravamen of this dispute is whether Demirel’s detention is mandatory under INA
§ 235(b) (8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)) or discretionary under § 236(a) (8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)). “The vast
majority of courts confronting this precise issue have rejected [the Government’s] interpretation,
and the BIA’s interpretation in Hurtado, as contradictory to the plain text of § 1225.” Ayala Amaya
v. Bondi, No. 25-16429, 2025 WL 3033880, at *2 (D.N.J. Oct. 30, 2025) (collecting cases). Once
again, of the 288 district court decisions to address the issue, 282 have determined that § 1226(a)
applies or likely applies in situations similar to those presented here. See Appendix. Those
decisions are plainly correct.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:grwhhgszjlgcjesagerdazwj/bafkreigdewkbpqri7ntfjrxpdi74cgzkr3ckmfw6klr3wlaysmjrvpxxzq@jpeg)

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

The criminalization of homelessness and push towards mandated, coerced medical interventions and civil commitment—a bipartisan project—was always going to lead us here.
This is why when we talk about, strategize and organize around abolition, we must include ALL carceral spaces.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.
