U.S. map showing that in 25 states and D.C., federal agencies like ICE and the U.S. Marshals only detain people using local jails. In other states, jails play a part in the detention network alongside federal or private facilities. In Arizona, Delaware, and Hawaii no local jails provide substantial detention space to these agencies.
Local jails–mostly run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of ICE's rampant criminalization of immigration.

Utterly disgusting. There is absolutely no way any Afghan woman should be returned to the Taliban having sought asylum, but particularly someone who has fought for human rights. It is tantamount to a death sentence.

The picture displays the following quote from the text: “By portraying immigrants and Danish citizens designated as non-Western as incapable of adapting, politicians sidestep deeper structural issues such as racism, xenophobia, and classism.” The Verfassungsblog logo is above the quote and the names of the authors, Sarah Ganty and Karin de Vries, are located underneath the quote.
Denmark’s so-called ghetto law may be a violation of the EU’s Race and Equality Directive.
SARAH GANTY (@sarahganty.bsky.social) and KARIN DE VRIES on the case’s potential to challenge harmful stereotypes embedded in integration policies and practices.

Screenshot of title and abstract of journal article. Title is 'The professional diversity deficit: the UK Supreme Court’s social security law blind spot'. Abstract is: 'It is no secret that the UK Supreme Court lacks demographic diversity. But there is very little commentary on a different diversity gap—that of professional experience. UK Supreme Court judges are typically drawn from lucrative areas of legal practice, creating a pronounced professional practice gap in the realm of social security law. None of the sitting Supreme Court judges have ever acted in a reported security case for social security claimants against the State. This creates a problem of perspective; would we really expect a panel of Goliath advocates to give David a fair hearing? This article highlights the hitherto under-explored evidence of a professional deficit on the Court, and argues that this cannot help but have an influence upon judicial perspectives. One such possible influence is the “alegalisation” of social security law—the treatment of it as not-law but as a matter of pure politics. Here, the article analyses how the line is drawn in key cases, in which it seems the Court feels responsible for defending some “pure law” human rights, while defending the courtroom from other human rights claims—those relating to social security. But poverty is a human rights issue, and human rights are (still) a matter of law. We need to bring social security expertise and claimant perspectives to the bench if we are to reassert the legal nature of social security rights.'
How many UK Supreme Court judges do you think ever acted as lawyers for a claimant in a social security case? ZERO. *Extremely nervous* to announce this rather bolshy ('somewhat contentious' and 'robust in tone') piece in the JSSL. I argue there is a 'professional diversity deficit' in UKSC, AND...
