The Insidious Doctrine Fueling the Case Against Mahmoud Khalil - Boston Review How a century of immigration law has evaded constitutional rights.

In 1889, the Supreme Court described the Chinese in America as “a menace to our civilization” and “an Oriental invasion,” a group endangering the sovereignty and security of the United States.

Debbie Nathan on the centuries of immigration law behind Trump’s deportation campaign:

The Terrible Truth About Sherita, Brooklyn’s Beloved Billboard Dinosaur The vanished icon of Atlantic Ave. was the relic of a secretive family who grabbed buildings from immigrant owners across the booming borough.

The true story behind Sherita, a brutal tale of old Brooklyn and a predatory real estate spree. Debbie Nathan and I dug deep to expose the brothers behind it, who hid behind phony last names.

Trump Has Turned the War on Trafficking Into a War on Immigrants The president is drawing on two decades of bipartisan support for crackdowns on traffickers to secure support for his agenda at the border.

In 2019, Debbie Nathan and I reported on how Trump had nearly completely turned the war on trafficking into a war on immigrants.

My latest, from the courts in NYC.

Print, take to immigration courts, give to immigrants whom the gmt is tricking into agreeing to terminate their asylum cases...leaving them undocumented and immediately scooped up by ICE outside the courtroom. (With no practicable due process rights anymore.)

These cards really help.

Straight outta the BrooklynResisters -- sure to be the theme song for No Kings national protests on June 14. For the long version and long visuals, choose the 4th one, far right.

Remembering Tom Robbins, Journalist Who Crusaded for New Yorkers in Need A stint on THE CITY’s investigations team capped a career exposing the corrupt and the criminal on behalf of tenants, workers and incarcerated people.

Rest in peace Tom, you were a fucking icon to reporters in this city, you never stopped sharing your expertise or helping a new generation learn the craft you had mastered. Thank you.

Did you used to be cheered by that SHERITA sign on Atlantic Avenue in Bed-Stuy? You won't feel so cheery after reading how she got there.

Doesn't the (iv) subsection require that the Secretary of State notify the Congressional Judiciary Committees, etc., of their rationale for deporting someone like Khalil if the Secretary PERSONALLY decides deporation is warranted under the statute? Do we know if this has happened?

Where is/are the lawsuit(s) challenging these refoulements--both those that have already happened and any in the future??? They will and can be done under Title 8 unless they are outlawed. Please advise.

A so-called "judge" in Louisiana has just ruled that #MahmoudKhalil is deportable. To understand why, read my 2021 essay about how these bastard institutions "are not really courts. Nor are the judges really judges, as the term is understood in this country."
