Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

The crazy thing is that despite this costing literally billions of dollars; they have the money for it!
That’s right, Congress decided to cut funding for public broadcasting and benefits for Americans and instead give CBP billions for the border wall, which they’ll now use to paint the wall black.

But on an early mid-March morning, agents entered his father’s house in Maryland and took Salazar and his father away in handcuffs. Afterwards, scrolling through his social media on their phones, agents interrogated Salazar and asked him to identify various people in his network. Salazar saw one of the agents writing down in his notes something about a gun – an English word he recognized, he said. The agents did not show him the image, but Salazar remembers insisting to them that whatever they saw was probably a toy water pistol. The Guardian has reviewed an image that Salazar’s family thinks Ice may have been referring to, it shows a person standing near Salazar with a blue-and-white item peeking out of a pants pocket that resembles a small plastic water pistol. Salazar was recorded in the authorities’ computer system as an alleged member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua criminal gang and was made to wear green prison clothing that signifies an alleged gangster, according to a court filing.
WOW. @tanvi.bsky.social reports ICE was going to send a TEENAGER to be imprisoned in El Salvador without a trial because an officer thought a blue and white water pistol was a real gun!
He has NO criminal record, was attending school, has a pending asylum hearing, and has never gotten into trouble!
In the law firm executive order cases, DOJ takes the position that an injunction barring implementation will only be enforceable against the govt agencies named in the complaint. So Perkins Coie just amended its complaint to name all the relevant fed agencies. The case caption is now 40 pages long.

On Saturday, April 12 at 3pm, we are holding a march to the ICE Field Office in downtown LA. The meeting point for the march is the corner of Broadway and Temple downtown, not far from Gloria Molina Grand Park. The AOC/Bernie rally at Gloria Molina Grand Park will be concluding around that time, so our idea is to make it convenient for people who had already planned to attend the AOC/Bernie rally, and also get some folks at that rally to join us. We are inviting folks from many different universities in southern California to attend this march. If you have colleagues or friends at USC, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Cal State LA, Occidental College, Caltech, Loyola Marymount, etc., or any other college in the area, please forward them our flyer or this email and invite them.
We’ll be marching to the ICE field office in downtown LA on Saturday to demand the return of our students’ visas at 3pm, following the AOC/Bernie rally. I’ll be tabling at the rally, in case you want to say hi. All extremely welcome, including students and member of the public.

Last month, we officially designated Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations-and thanks to the Supreme Court yesterday...we will continue to deport these monsters under the Alien Enemies Act...
Trump has not issued a proclamation that purports to invoke the Alien Enemies Act against MS-13 or Mexican drug cartels

Having known a decent number of officers, I’ve always been impressed by their sense that they owe obedience to the law, not the president.
That said, any split on the legality of orders puts us in a really, really, really bad place.

Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
It feels like there should be some kind of big dramatic countdown for 12:01 am ET, when the most dramatic tariffs start. Like the official end to America as a superpower.

The Trump administration is preparing to argue that a federal judge in NY does *not* have jurisdiction to hear Mahmoud Khalil's case and that venue should be transfered to Louisiana, where he is currently being held.
Khalil's lawyers want him transfered back to NY ASAP.

Screenshot of DOJ press release: Statement from Justice Department Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle: "Today the Department of Justice determined that multiple layers of removal restrictions shielding administrative law judges (ALJs) are unconstitutional. Unelected and constitutionally unaccountable ALJs have exercised immense power for far too long. In accordance with Supreme Court precedent, the Department is restoring constitutional accountability so that Executive Branch officials answer to the President and to the people." ###
Today in DOJ:
A lowly, unelected bureaucrat with no policymaking authority makes a major policy announcement about a type of officer contemplated in the Constitution.
