NEW: A huge win for ICE in the 5th Circuit tonight clears the way for the agency to mass detain people facing (and fighting) deportation proceedings. District judges all over the country — including dozens of Trump appointees — had rejected this policy.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Something I noticed as a kid was that when I was 16, men acted like they thought I was an adult, but once I turned 18, people were constantly telling me they thought I was younger than that and I think it’s related to this general creepiness and evil.
when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

The ask is simple: Delete the Starbucks app — NOW — and send a message that there's no "business as usual" without a fair contract.
