 photographed this boy walking home alone with a snack being "randomly" approached by DHS. "After he was unable to produce documentation proving his citizenship, agents informed him that he was under arrest." He said, "Can I just go home?" Answer: No.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

'The Traitors' Increasingly Feels Like a Warped Milgram Experiment Why no one is talking about real-life parallels right now is shocking.

The Administration labels someone an enemy -- immigrants, trans people, Tim freakin' Walz -- and their followers take it as gospel. How easy this is to reproduce in a reality competition series with C-level celebrities is beyond disturbing. www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/t...

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to the incomparable David Dastmalchian about his breakout role in Denis Villeneuve's PRISONERS (a Thanksgiving movie!). Extremely moved by how open David was during our conversation about how this character challenged him and changed his life. @vulture.com:
