@sociologistray.bsky.social I thoroughly enjoyed your appearance on Washington Journal this morning. Your closing comments about the lack of process such as judges and clerks to process the immigration paperwork is extremely important, considering how much they are spending on enforcement.

Resistance to Trump 2.0 is getting more confrontational | Dana R Fisher

The impunity & lack of accountability of ICE/CBP is the apotheosis of the impunity & lack of accountability that characterizes much of policing (eg qualified immunity, FOPs protecting “bad apples”). But we learned from
