Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.

An L.A. man was detained in an immigration raid. No one knows where he is A witness told his brother and attorneys that the 44-year-old Mexican immigrant, who doesn't have lawful immigration status, was taken into custody by immigration authorities on Oct. 7 in south-centra...

A 44 year old Mexican immigrant named Vicente Ventura Aguilar has been missing from ICE custody since Oct 7th.

He suffered a medical emergency, lost consciousness & disappeared.

I must not discourse. discourse is the mind-killer. discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the discourse I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the discourse has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

So true Noahp

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

It’s way past time that qualifying nations refused to attend the World Cup. This is just yet another reason. None will though.

The reason people freak out and run from Trump’s racist goon squad is they are literally disappearing people. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Watch Steve Bannon's pawn and part-time Russian asset Jack Posobiec get wrecked by Zohran Mamdani without even trying for pushing a racist hoax about his tax policies.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?
TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

TRUMP: and this Daniel, he went into the den?

MAMDANI: The lion's den, yes

TRUMP: surely they ate him

MAMDANI: Here's the part where it gets a little Broadway: they didn't

TRUMP: Unbelievable

Trump is literally a Trump/Mamdani voter.

Mamdani turned his haters into waiters at the table of success

Today was the day Zohran Mamdani finally became president

donald trump endorsed zohran mamdani before chuck schumer lmao

guy looked like a make a wish kid meeting Mamdani

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes

It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

Why Donald Trump Seems Taken With Zohran Mamdani Michael Powell

This was one of several moments in the press conference that felt more like a Saturday Night Live skit than a newscast. But perhaps all this was not as improbable as it looked and sounded. Trump bellows and insults and demeans, but so much of that is an act, guff and bullying. His earlier talk of Mamdani as “my little communist mayor” even carried an odd hint of affection, and there was evident admiration in the way in which he spoke of Mamdani’s unlikely mayoral victory. These men are, in their very different ways, populists, Queens men, and sometimes statists; they share a disdain for political establishments. And Trump, the developer, is aware of the extremely high cost of New York real estate, a focus of Mamdani’s campaign.

Every article by a 'savvy' political analyst reads like a focus group transcript with a low-information voter.

A tv screen. Zohran Mamdani stands above Trump, looking down on him in the Oval Office

Mamdani looking down on Trump like you’d watch a dog try to open a locked door with their paws

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

2. today's White House meeting with Mamdani is currently scheduled as "closed press," which means it might not be much of a showdown
