I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

When the attorney general makes a factual claim about law enforcement, it's important to take it seriously. So I contacted the DOJ and ran the numbers. New from yours truly for @lawfaremedia.org

A colleague emailed me today to flag the fact that the superb Fourth Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson ended a quotidian insurance opinion with an unusually introspective conclusion.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.

A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

What Do We Owe the Dead? β€” The Dial How international human rights law fails to recognize the rights of the dead.

Debates about what we owe the dead have persisted for millennia, yet the law offers incomplete and unsatisfying answers.

For @thedialmag.bsky.social, I wrote about the rights of the dead and the legal scholars and forensic anthropologists who work to protect them.
