I’m glad people are aware of this, but it isn’t new. People in immigration detention were consistently moved away from their attorneys in the Biden admin. We reported on it then, but very few people cared about migrants when they weren’t a partisan tool.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

At 10am, Judge Xinis will hold a conference in Abrego Garcia’s civil (habeas) case. I’ll cover for @lawfaremedia.org. Expected mainly to be about whether to grant Abrego discovery into, e.g., how the govt chose to try to send him Uganda or Eswatini (former Swaziland). ...

Earlier today there were several FPV drone attacks as well as more shelling. It seems most crossing points between AANES and STG territory are closed and the escalation - while we see encouraging political statements - is still very worrying

This is extremely worrying

I’m going to post one here that just happened that is so upsetting.

HAPPENING NOW: Emergency hearing before Judge Karin Immergut on Trump's effort to circumvent her temporary restraining order re: Oregon national guard deployment.

I plan to listen in for @lawfaremedia.org.

man, finding out about this guy is a trip. He seems convinced death from heat stress is an issue of governments making AC hard to get, not climate change. www.thefp.com/p/i-once-tho...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

not even buried in the story, right there in the Dek. Several people had to read this before it published and apparently they are all deeply unwell.

Unfortunately there’s been a consenus on that from both parties but Biden set records for dead migrants in the desert

At this point, it appears that chain refoulment is the policy aim.

👍 gotcha. Sorry I find this website is very bad for folks explaining shit I already know to me

I said CBP defines, not "the statute says"

If this is new to you, I'm glad you are learning about it! I highly recommend @memomiller.bsky.social 's book if you'd like to learn more. It may come as a surprise to many of you, but this has been an issue for some time, and many of us have been trying to write about it.

Because CBP defines each of the great lakes as an international waterway, thus its 100 mile enforcement zone begins at the lakeshore and extends 100 miles.

an excellent thread on a brutal and increasingly common practice.

Just as a heads up (because I see screenshots from the AF Post account all the time) AF Post stands for America First Post, which isn’t a real news organization, and is affiliated with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

Specifically, Salazar stated that 327 children identified for return to Guatemala had been screened according to a list of criteria that ensured, among other things, the children would not be subject to child abuse and neglect, including human trafficking, torture and other forms of violence, upon return to Guatemala. 1 These whistleblowers reasonably believe, based on information available in ORR’s database for tracking unaccompanied children, that at least 30 and possibly more children who were deemed eligible for imminent return to Guatemala, have indicators of being a victim of child abuse, including death threats, gang violence, human trafficking and/or have expressed fear of return to Guatemala, including in some cases concern for harm and threats from their parents. Additionally, because the information upon which whistleblowers base their reasonable belief is from ORR’s database, the whistleblowers reasonably believe Acting Director Salazar knew or should have known of the inaccuracies in her declaration.

Whistleblowers repped by @govacctproj.bsky.social say Angie Salazar, a career ICE-HSI official now heading the Office of Refugee Resettlement, signed off on expelling at least 30 unaccompanied Guatemalan kids despite evidence that it would endanger them.

When you’ve lost John Yoo

Jesus that’s terrible

Yeah just very strange

They seem to be actively cuffing someone in the second photo

Yeah that’s a choice. I guess he got a sub gun placard and just felt like filling it out

Yeah it totally does, but the agent appears to be doing it in public?

Idk if I’m missing something here, but even by ICE uniform standards this is bizarre.
