Not that it is 'descending into' etc etc but that it is here. Maybe this will move more liberals to say the same.

Make up a story about antisemitism, plop it into an anonymous student evaluation, and watch as your prof's life is upturned faster than you can spell "fascism."

But a Federal Court judge issued a stay of removal, arguing the immigration officer who examined their case failed to take into account their role in caring for their fiancΓ©, or the "current conditions for LGBTQ, non-binary and transgender persons" in the U.S. Advocates for 2SLGBTQ+ migrants say this could set a precedent for other cases like Jenkel's, and help change the way Canada's immigration system deals with applications from the U.S.
A Canadian judge has denied the deportation of a US trans person who overstayed their visa in large part because of the unsafe conditions for trans people in the United States.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates βlike dogsβ, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities. The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.
