Simply scandalous.
ICE detention has hit a historic high of 73,000 people, an 84% increase from early 2025, when the population was below 40,000. This is the largest immigration detention population ever recorded in American history. Here's what's inside those numbers.
Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.
Five more days to submit nominations for the Margaret Levi Award for the Advancement of Comparative Methodology! A broad and unusual call. Feel free to self-nominate or to submit a nomination on behalf of work that has inspired you.
Congress gave ICE $45 billion last year in a single bill. Here's where that money is going and who is cashing in on the largest expansion of immigrant detention in American history. 🧵
I am listening to this now. Wurman just implied that people who enter the country illegally are, on his understanding of the Constitution, subject to our criminal laws but not entitled to sue or be sued in US courts. This is not the law and he knows it. Nor should it be.
thank you for sharing, @bronwenmanby.bsky.social
@globalcit.bsky.social report summarising recent citizenship law developments in 12 Eastern European EU member & candidate states shows how citizenship policy is increasingly shaped by security concerns, particularly in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine hdl.handle.net/1814/94610
The delays and uncertainties citizenship applicants have to face in Denmark is scandalous.

I have a 5-year Senior Research Fellow position open! This is linked to my Academy Professorhip that launched in January.
I am looking for a person with strong methods skills, cv sufficient for an adjunct professor (”dosentti”, a bit similar to habilitation), and supervision experience.
La primavera è arrivata! ☀️ 🌼
Wellness boom? I am clearly missing something over here in Florence.
This allows the Trump administration to literally condition citizenship on what it defines as acceptable speech
Good
Makes no sense until you read this:
at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,” Karen says.
The government's immigration plans: a dog’s dinner of half-conceived policy, Reform rhetoric, mean-spirited sentiment, and profound intellectual muddle iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...
This is excellent from @iandunt.bsky.social on the government's proposals on settlement: unsupported by evidence, counterproductive on integration, cohesion and economic growth.
As Ian says not too late for government to think again.

💥Another sign that Viktor Orbán fears the April 12 election? They plan a major sell-off of state-owned real estate in Budapest, with contracts set to be signed on April 10, just before polls open. Orbán’s inner circle is rumored to be bidding.
