Good news: A federal court barred Border Patrol from stopping and arresting people using practices that violate the Constitution. We shouldn't have to live our lives in fear of being stopped by ICE.Β @ufw.bsky.social @aclu.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social @sdicaclu.bsky.social

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.

Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160
Filed 07/07/25
Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.
Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

The FDNY Was Sped to ICE Headquarters for a Bogus 911 Call: 'They Used Us' After the fire truck pulled up to the federal building where more than 100 people are being held, a van of the sort ICE uses to transport detainees sped out past protesters.

On Saturday, the FDNY rushed to 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE is holding more than 100 people in inhumane conditions, to respond to an emergency call, only to learn there was no such emergency. What's going on? hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...

Judges have a warning about Trump’s rapid deportations: Americans could be next Judges across the country continue to note that if courts don’t protect the rights of the least popular and most vulnerable, everyone is at risk.

NEW: Federal judges across the country are increasingly warning of a due process crisis caused by President Donald Trump’s deportation blitz.

Their message: If we eliminate due process for the β€˜least’ of us, Americans could be next.

This RΓΌmeysa Γ–ztΓΌrk hearing is radicalizing.

I've been a court reporter for many years, and I've never covered anything like this: A student deeply committed to her studies, imprisoned solely over writing an op-ed, being made to testify under oath for her own freedom.

Criminal warrants from the judiciary are not necessary.

Administrative warrants are recommended β€œas much as practical”.

So, no warrant needed.

I welcomed our son into the world earlier today without Mahmoud by my side. Despite our request for ICE to allow Mahmoud to attend the birth, they denied his temporary release to meet our son. This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer.
Mahmoud remains unjustly detained in an ICE detention center over 1,000 miles away from his firstborn child. My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud’s support for Palestinian freedom.
I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate, just like his dad.

Pressed for evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, government cites its power to deport people for beliefs The U.S. government has submitted a two-page memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio as its main evidence in its deportation case against Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil.

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil"

"Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs."

Free this man immediately.
