Immigration Agents Are Using Air Passenger Data for Deportation Effort
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Terminal Surreal by Martha Silano getting the Bath Book Treatment
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PLEASURES,
thousands of ways to not be dissatisfied, to not embrace the terms of anxiety. One of them is to consider the length of a giraffe's tongue: twenty-one inches.
Another is to go in pursuit of blackberries only a person in a boat can reach. It's important to be responsive to tails and ears, to limbs that allow you, domestic cats, and gazelles
to lope toward Ladybug Espresso or a rat. Away from a charging hippo. It's better to light a sparkler than to whine, right?
It is better to thank your body for its heels, its ability to heal.
That although they are dreadlocked and devoted, you are not a Bergamasco sheepdog. To avoid
a sort of manic obsession with less-than, stare at the pinking clouds longer than seems appropriate. Way longer. To gloss your brain, revel in the long-ago-ness of your past, tocus mostly on the gigantic-peach present that really does take up most of the fridge. of envy, take a sniff, decide to pass.

About 400 immigrant children were detained longer than the recommended limit, ICE admits
Legal advocates concerned over the prolonged detention of immigrant children in federal custody are sounding the alarm before the federal court. U.S.
ICE now admits that hundreds of children were held past the legal 20-day custody limit set to protect their safety.
Five were kept for 168 days.
Some faced unsafe conditions and went days without medical care.
This crosses a moral line.

SCOTUS appears ready to give Trump greater firing powers, over sharp liberal warnings
The Republican appointees are almost certain to overturn a 90-year precedent, as Trump wants. Pushing back, Sotomayor told DOJ: βYouβre asking us to destroy the structure of government.β
Monday at SCOTUS went as the Republican appointees have been telegraphing: Humphreyβs Executor is all but certainly done for, giving Trump increased firing powers.
What was a bit surprising was how aggressively and directly the Democratic appointees fought back.
