Insulting the Mayor Is Nothing New. But This Was Shocking.

Thank you Mayor Mamdani for speaking out about the attacks American Muslims get for just existing. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/n...

Maybe there needs to be a Constitution 101 class for all members on Congress?

Judge Says U.S. Is Intentionally Violating the Law on Immigration

“On the merits, its detentions are illegal,” the judge wrote.

“[The government] knows this.”

Racist. Islamophobic racist. We’ll remember all those who don’t call out his racism. Do not ask for our votes in November if you can’t condemn this hate speech today.

Dear Ms. Wolfe, Petitioner-Appellee Rümeysa Öztürk submits this Rule 28(j) letter to advise the Court that on January 29, 2026, the immigration court held that the Department of Homeland Security had not met its burden of proving removability, and the immigration court thereby terminated removal proceedings against Ms. Öztürk.' This development underscores the dangers of the government's interpretation of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under the government's view, it could punitively detain any noncitizen in retaliation for her speech for many months, so long as it simultaneously institutes removal proceedings—no matter how unmeritorious—all without any federal court review of the lawfulness of detention at any time. To be clear, the termination of Ms. Öztürk's removal proceedings does not moot her habeas case. (By contrast, as Ms. Öztürk has argued, this appeal is moot. Br. 18-20.) Without habeas jurisdiction and the bail order that is currently in place, any government appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals would again subject Ms. Öztürk to re-detention. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.6(a). For that reason, she continues to suffer the threat of continuing "now-or-never" First and Fifth Amendment harms. Br. in Opp. 55-57.

NEW: An immigration court has terminated removal proceedings against Tufts doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk, finding that DHS did not meet its burden of establishing that she was removable, her lawyers tell the Second Circuit. live-awp-vermont.pantheonsite.io/app/uploads/...

Every single member of Congress should visit a detention facility this week.

Opinion | Rep. Ilhan Omar: Trump's slurs seek to cast suspicion on anyone who isn't white The president's attacks and ICE activity in Minnesota are weaponizing fear against me and other immigrants.

Here is what Trump and his enablers fail to understand: Immigrants love this country deeply. We love democracy. We cherish the rule of law, the promise of due process and the idea that our diversity is a strength, not a threat.

My op-ed:

A completely American problem with leaders who don’t want to solve the problem.

Trust the experts.

Facts matter: Federal authorities say they will target Somali immigrants in Minneapolis–St. Paul in an upcoming sweep, although Jaylani Hussain, ED of the Minnesota chapter of the CAIR, says about 95% of the Somalis in Minnesota are already U.S. citizens and that about 50% were born in the U.S.

I actually took comfort in the fact that I (like you) was not voting in 1994. We’re part of the younger group.
