Immigration Law in 2026: Fighting the Cruelty Machine

This week’s episode is an interview with two immigration attorneys about what it’s like to practice under Trump 2.0, the unprecedented uncertainty their clients face, the freaks who become ICE lawyers and ICE judges, and why there’s actually…reason to hope?

You have been approachable from the start. You are clearly full of wisdom but you break things down in simplistic ways that makes me want to learn more, instead of running for the hills. I've never felt so in tune with the world around me and I'm starting to see magic everywhere. Thank you for that. I've had one class, two readings, and been to one private event with you and everyone left the experience uplifted and renewed. - CLIENT, TAROT CLASS, TAROT READINGS, AND PRIVATE EVENT

I was nervous. I have gotten two readings from Bridgette before and everything she said happened. Even if it was years later every single thing happened. So I knew whatever I asked would be the true answer. [After the reading| I felt relieved. Like a weight had been lifted from my chest. Bridgette is very accurate, and she won't sugar coat anything just so you hear what you wanna hear! - ANTONIA, TAROT READING

Bridgette has such a natural gift for creating a safe, grounded space where you feel completely comfortable being vulnerable. Her intuition is incredibly strong, but what makes her stand out is her kindness and authenticity. Even years later, she has continued to be supportive and generous with her guidance. Whenever I've reached out with questions about tarot or spirituality, she responds with patience and encouragement. I have never once felt like a burden. She truly cares about the people she works with. If you're looking for a reading that feels personal, validating, and transformative I cannot recommend her enough. - CLIENT, TAROT READING

I was at the January beginners workshop and really liked it be it felt a lot more roundtable discussion and it really felt like a true beginners introduction. I'm a little shy at these kind of events but you've made it feel welcoming! THANK YOU! - PARTICIPANT, TAROT WORKSHOP

The city’s warming center is located on the outskirts of town, far from where most people sleep, and without transportation, many have no way to reach safety. Lack of access leaves people vulnerable to frostbite, hypothermia, and death — preventable harm caused by distance, not choice.

Paterson’s unsheltered community is facing a harsh winter. The number of people living outdoors increased 84% in just one year, rising from 76 in 2023 to 140 in 2024, and the numbers are expected to grow again.

We are raising $5k for shuttle services that will provide two pickups every evening and two pickups every morning, ensuring people can safely reach warmth and return to their communities. A ride should not be the difference between life and death. Your support will save lives this winter.

The F.U.C.K. I.C.E. Act (NJ Assembly Bill A4446) The "Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered Act" was introduced by Hudson County Democrats Assemblyman Ravi Bhalla and Assemblywoman Katie Brennan (with State Sen. Raj Mukherji sponsoring the Senate version). The bill would allow individuals to bring civil lawsuits in New Jersey Superior Court against federal officers or agencies for alleged constitutional violations stemming from immigration enforcement activities. Sponsors say the bill was written in direct response to recent ICE operations in North Jersey and along the Hudson County border that lawmakers claim targeted immigrants indiscriminately and created fear in local communities. The bill is part of a broader 2026 Anti-ICE Legislative Package that includes several companion bills: • A4300 - a 50% tax on private detention facilities operating under federal contracts, with proceeds funding an Immigrant Protection Fund • A4301 — criminalizing interference by federal agents at state and local crime scenes • A4302 - banning former ICE agents (serving Sept. 2025-Jan. 2029) from obtaining public employment in New Jersey, including law enforcement and teaching positions • A4078 - prohibiting ICE from using state-owned property as operational staging areas Republican lawmakers have blasted the bill as provocative and legally questionable, arguing it could invite federal lawsuits and hinder legitimate law enforcement cooperation. Democratic sponsors insist the name reflects the frustration of communities impacted by what they describe as federal overreach

According to some dude on r/newjersey

Let’s see the entire 2026 Anti-ICE Legislative Package passed! @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

Democratic lawmakers in New Jersey use blunt acronym to name anti-ICE legislation The measure is expected to be voted on next week by the New Jersey State Senate and Assembly before heading to the governor’s desk

Still blows my mind that my medication, Emgality, is like $1,000 with insurance but if I print out a special cheat code from the manufacturer's website its $35. And they don't automatically give this cheat code to people so that elderly and sick people end up accidentally paying full price.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
