Illegal crossing are down by around 90%. Your pasted (no link) article is correct, in the sense there is no longer an invasion. That shit's been stopped.

Now, if AOC would shut her pie hole and the rest of the sanctuary cities would get on board with the program, deportations make a dramatic uptick in the coming days.

We also have no idea of how many illegal aliens have already self-deported.

People playing by the rules are easier to catch

The danger of immigrants is ridiculously overblown


The Trump administration has promised to prioritize the “worst first” when it comes to arrests and deportations, but the number of detainees in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody without a criminal conviction or pending criminal charges increased by more than 1,800 in the first two weeks of February, representing 41% of the 4,422 total new detainees in that period, according to new data obtained by NBC News.
During federal fiscal year 2024, the Biden administration made 113,431 immigration arrests, and of those, only 28% were of people who had no criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

Asked for comment on the data, Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said immigrants without criminal records are often “far from innocent” but declined to provide further data.

Through an extensive review of GlomarResponder’s X posts, publicly available documents, and other social media profiles and posts, the Texas Observer has identified the operator of GlomarResponder as James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, a 44-year-old who works as an assistant chief counsel for ICE in the Dallas area. Rodden represents the agency in immigration court hearings where judges decide whether an individual is removed from the country.


“America is a White nation, founded by Whites. … Our country should favor us,” GlomarResponder wrote (https://archive.is/Ngl6F) last month. “All blacks are foreign to my people, dumb fuck,” the account posted (https://archive.is/8Lpk0) in September of last year. “Freedom of association hasn’t existed in this country since 1964 at the absolute latest,” GlomarResponder wrote (https://archive.is/nEBc0) four months prior, further clarifying the post was referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in a reply (https://archive.is/RvOw7) to a comment. “I’m not a commie, I’m a fascist,” GlomarResponder posted (https://archive.is/qa76n) a couple weeks later. “Fascists solve communist problems. Get your insults right, retard.”
In August, GlomarResponder posted (https://archive.is/n5lFz): “‘Migrants’ are all criminals.” Two months later, GlomarResponder shared an image (https://archive.is/ytX2S) that reads: “It is our holy duty to guard against the foreign hordes.” Some GlomarResponder posts evoke anti-immigrant violence: “Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders,” the account posted (https://archive.is/Zkq0b) in March 2024. “Yet. Give it a few more weeks at this level of invasion, and that will be the moderate position.” And in January (https://archive.is/6izxA): “My WWII vet grandfather didn’t get a chance to kill asians, so he volunteered for Korea. He’d be asking for a short term job with ICE kicking doors and swinging a baton.”



Rodden’s ICE employment is confirmed by federal court records (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/60703912/3/1/rodden-v-fauci/), background interviews, and Observer courtroom visits.https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-dallas-white-supremacist-x-account/

Nope, it's a crime, look it up. Administrative violations don't result in jail time or prison and are never referred to as misdemeanors or felonies. Just saying.

Entering the United States illegally is a violation of federal law. Under 8 U.S. Code § 1325, it is unlawful for any non-citizen to enter or attempt to enter the U.S. at any time or place other than as designated by immigration authorities. The penalties include:


First-time offense: A misdemeanor punishable by a fine and up to 6 months in jail.
Subsequent offenses: A felony punishable by a fine and up to 2 years in prison.



Other potential legal consequences include deportation, bars on future legal entry, and additional penalties if fraud or other crimes are involved.

And he's doing a bang up job.

You don't believe in rehabilitation and giving convicted criminals a second chance?

Weren't liberals the driving force behind, "Ban the Box" where employers were encouraged to quit asking about criminal convictions on job applications?

This is what my ChatGPT shot back:


"This movement aimed to remove the checkbox on job applications that asked whether an applicant had been convicted of a crime. The goal was to prevent employers from immediately disqualifying candidates based on their criminal history before evaluating their qualifications. Instead, background checks were delayed until later in the hiring process, usually after an interview or a conditional job offer."

"The movement gained momentum in the early 2000s, led by criminal justice reform advocates, civil rights organizations, and formerly incarcerated individuals. Many states, cities, and private companies adopted "Ban the Box" policies, and in 2015, President Obama directed federal agencies to implement it for government jobs."

guess the Taliban count as US allies under Trump

sending these refugees -- allies in wartime -- back to Afghanistan is a sure death sentence for many


A top former government official who worked on refugee issues told ProPublica and The Texas Tribune that another 100,000 refugees who had already been vetted by the Department of Homeland Security have also been blocked from entering the country. The official, who declined to be identified for fear of retribution, said the Trump administration is “moving so swiftly that there might not be much of a refugee program left to recover.”


Taken together, Trump’s actions are effectively dismantling the U.S. refugee system and eroding the country’s historic commitment to legal immigration, according to refugee resettlement and U.S. military experts, who say the most egregious examples include denying entrance to thousands of Afghans who worked with the U.S. military and their relatives.

They think we blindly trust the billionaires on the democrat side and that makes us like them. They're too stupid to notice that it's only them giving away blind trust in terrible people.

Corruption happens. It's not okay if a democrat does it.

Republicans somehow (mostly due to generally low education levels and IQ scores compared to "liberals" on the center-right, imo) translate this into "your guys do it, too so it's okay now!" Lol no, it's not. Your lack of values and amazing ability to blow with the wind as long as the wind has (R) or (conservative sounds) somewhere in it makes you stupid, and gullible, not some kind of anti/hero.

You openly support insurrection and the pardoning of criminals. You're okay with Trump and Epstein being great buddies. You're totally cognitively dissonant, and it's painfully obvious.

They think we blindly trust the billionaires on the democrat side and that makes us like them. They're too stupid to notice that it's only them giving away blind trust in terrible people.

Corruption happens. It's not okay if a democrat does it.

Republicans somehow (mostly due to generally low education levels and IQ scores compared to "liberals" on the center-right, imo) translate this into "your guys do it, too so it's okay now!" Lol no, it's not. Your lack of values and amazing ability to blow with the wind as long as the wind has (R) or (conservative sounds) somewhere in it makes you stupid, and gullible, not some kind of anti/hero.

You openly support insurrection and the pardoning of criminals. You're okay with Trump and Epstein being great buddies. You're totally cognitively dissonant, and it's painfully obvious. You fool no one but your fellow conservatives. You've abandoned the constitution and the rule of law, utterly and openly flaunting it in your worship.

The Trump administration (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/trump-administration) has rescinded its decision to cut off legal aid (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/18/trump-administration-legal-aid-immigrant-children) for unaccompanied immigrant children, just three days after it ordered government-funded attorneys across the country to immediately stop their work.

using a metaphor to destroy law and grab power is very Trumpian



Trump’s migration-as-invasion theory permeates his executive orders and other pronouncements on immigration. But he is not just using the frame to try to exploit inapplicable wartime laws and constitutional authorities, as damaging as that is. In at least one of his orders, he is also using it to lay claim to vast presidential powers that don’t exist in peacetime or wartime, launching a direct assault on the constitutional separation of powers and the rule of law.

To begin, one of Trump’s Day One orders tees up (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/designating-cartels-and-other-organizations-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-and-specially-designated-global-terrorists/) a potential invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime law that can be invoked in times of “invasion.” The Act was last used in World War II to intern 31,000 noncitizens of Japanese, German, and Italian descent without due process. (U.S. citizens of Japanese descent were interned under a separate authority.) If Trump invokes the law—and if the courts uphold his invocation—it could empower (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained) him to summarily detain and deport foreign nationals who are lawfully present in the United States and have no criminal history.

This would be a clear abuse of the law. As explained in a recent report (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained) from the Brennan Center (where we work), the Alien Enemies Act’s powers are available in response to a literal armed attack, not a figurative or purely rhetorical “invasion.” The language and structure of the law, as well as the congressional debate over its enactment, leave no doubt on this point; the law refers to acts of “actual hostility” and was intended to implement the law of war. The law has been used only in times of declared war or, during World War II, in the immediate wake (https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/proclamation-2525-alien-enemies-japanese) of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.
https://www.justsecurity.org/107699/invasion-theory-trump-immigration-policy/

[Winehole23]

there's little doubt Trump wants to commence military operations against US citizens, Hegseth firing all the JAGs foreshadows the intention

Trump's real war is on the American people


In another Day One executive order, Trump directed the Secretary of Defense to assign a new mission (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/clarifying-the-militarys-role-in-protecting-the-territorial-integrity-of-the-united-states/) to NORTHCOM, the combatant command for the U.S. armed forces in the North American continent: “repelling forms of invasion including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, and other criminal activities.” The order directs NORTHCOM to plan a “campaign” for accomplishing this mission. It cites no specific statutory authority; instead, it notes the president’s “solemn responsibility” as “Chief Executive” and “Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces” to protect “the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States.”

Here, Trump appears to be relying on a longstanding and widely accepted interpretation of the Constitution under which presidents have inherent constitutional authority—and can act on a temporary basis without congressional authorization—to repel invasions of the United States. Like the Alien Enemies Act, however, this power is reserved for armed attacks. During the Constitutional Convention, the Founders explicitly referred (https://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/a1_8_11s4.html) to this presidential prerogative as “the power to repel sudden attacks” or “repel and not to commence war.” Nothing in the Constitution remotely contemplates a presidential power to direct a military campaign against civilians entering the country without documentation.

[Winehole23]

Trump’s executive orders are unprecedented in many respects. Nonetheless, there are some lessons we can learn from history. This is not the first time that a president has falsely claimed an “invasion” across the southern border. In 1846, President James Polk proclaimed (https://millercenter.org/the-presidency/presidential-speeches/may-11-1846-war-message-congress) that Mexican forces had “passed the boundary of the United States” and “invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil.” Within two days, he secured a congressional declaration of war.


Although Polk correctly identified the elements of an “invasion”—armed hostilities that require the government to meet force with force—he lied about the facts. Two years later, when the truth came out, then-Representative Abraham Lincoln charged that Polk had “unnecessarily and unconstitutionally (https://www.loc.gov/resource/mal.0007400/?st=pdf&r=-0.203%2C-0.07%2C1.407%2C1.407%2C0&pdfPage=1)” secured a war authorization through misrepresentation. Led by Lincoln, the House of Representatives passed language to censure Polk for unlawfully proclaiming an “invasion” to aggrandize presidential power.

Trumplandia is abusing federal power to intimidate local officials


The US Department of Justice is now investigating and threatening to prosecute the sheriff for failing to cooperate with ICE, though it’s not clear what the department would charge him with.
The sheriff’s office said (https://archive.is/9fabF) Osborne “acted consistently” with state and local policy, didn’t interfere with federal law enforcement, and told ICE when the man was going to be released.


“From what I can tell, the sheriff did not violate any law,” said Estelle McKee, a professor at Cornell Law School in Ithaca who specializes in immigration.

Trump keeps getting slapped down in court

his "bold" tactics are speedrunning judicial gridlock


A federal judge in Maryland blocked the Trump administration on Monday from carrying out immigration enforcement actions at certain places of worship for Quakers, Cooperative Baptists and Sikhs, who filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump's unwinding of a Biden-era memo that barred immigration arrests at certain protected locations.


U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang granted a request for a narrow preliminary injunction (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.575074/gov.uscourts.mdd.575074.62.0.pdf) sought by the religious groups as they pursue their challenge to Mr. Trump's directive allowing federal immigration authorities to conduct enforcement actions at places of worship. Chuang's order does not block the administration's policy nationwide, and only applies to houses of worship owned or used by the challengers — the Quakers, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Sikh Temple.


The groups had argued that the new policy allowing immigration arrests at places that were previously considered protected violates their First Amendment rights and burdens the free exercise of religion under federal law.

"papers please, brown people"



New Mexico teachers unions are raising concerns over reports that federal agents boarded a school bus carrying student-athletes and asked for proof of citizenship.

The incident reportedly took place at around 7:15 Friday morning at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 25 north of Las Cruces. According to school officials, agents stopped a chartered bus transporting Las Cruces High School’s swim team to a competition in Albuquerque. Witnesses say agents boarded the bus and requested documentation from the students, speaking in Spanish. The team’s coach, Pamela Quiñones, intervened, explaining that the students spoke English and were part of the school’s swim team. The agents then left the bus without further questioning.

“Without hesitation he jumped on the bus and didn’t ask the adults any more questions,” Quiñones told Heath Haussamen of Haussamen.com (https://haussamen.com/2025/02/23/federal-agents-boarded-a-bus-carrying-students-what-now/?ref=organmountainnews.com). “He just started walking in the bus and started yelling in Spanish, demanding documentation from all the passengers.”

Students, she said, were left clearly rattled and confused by the experience.

A Venezuelan national was arrested and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents earlier this month in Arizona, despite coming to the United States legally through an appointment on the CBP One App and having an active humanitarian parole status.


"Everything was just going right until this happened,” the spouse of the person detained told ABC15. We’re not using her real name or the husband's name due to safety concerns for the family. "We have a social security number, have a driver license from Arizona.”



After entering the country legally in 2023, the couple obtained legal documents to work and filed for asylum. They started a family and have two young kids. The husband found a job and they were living the American dream.


"He was working so hard to be the support for us,” the wife told ABC15. "I just want him to be back with us.”

Trumplandia pissing backwards on Afghan refugees is dishonorable and illegal


The principle of non-refoulement is one of the most cherished norms in international law. As first established in the UN Refugee Convention (https://www.unhcr.org/media/convention-and-protocol-relating-status-refugees), the non-refoulement principle says, “No Contracting State shall expel or return (‘refouler’) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.” The UN Convention against Torture (https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-against-torture-and-other-cruel-inhuman-or-degrading) also says, “No State Party shall expel, return (‘refouler’) or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture.” This principle is so firmly established that it is considered (https://www.refworld.org/jurisprudence/amicus/unhcr/1994/en/20625) to have entered into customary international law. The phrase “non-refoulement” might be unfamiliar, but the concept is simple enough—once someone has proved to our satisfaction that they are at risk of persecution or torture, we cannot put them back in the path of that persecution or torture. But that is precisely what canceling these flights does.https://www.openglobalrights.org/prefoulement-is-still-refoulement/

[Winehole23]

US treaties are law of the land


The standards for non-refoulement from the Refugee Convention and the Convention against Torture have both been integrated into US refugee law. Section 208(a) (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1158&num=0&edition=prelim) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides for the granting of asylum under the terms specified in the Refugee Convention. Section 241(B)(3) (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1231&num=0&edition=prelim) of the same law further protects against the removal of someone who has not been granted asylum but shows that their “life or freedom would be threatened” because of certain characteristics if they were sent back to their country of origin. Courts in the United States have long held (https://www.aclu.org/cases/east-bay-sanctuary-covenant-v-barr?document=order-ebsc-v-trump-stay-denied-ninth-circuit-ruling) these laws to be reflective of the country’s treaty obligations and have applied the treaties (https://www.asil.org/insights/volume/23/issue/11/non-refoulement-under-trump-administration) in interpreting US asylum and refugee law.

"papers please, brown people"


A naturalized Hispanic man says he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who were looking for another person on a deportation order, and now the man is questioning his vote for President Donald Trump.

Jensy Machado said he is a U.S. citizen and provided News4 documentation of his legal status.

Machado said he was driving to work Wednesday with two other men when he was stopped by ICE agents on Lomond Drive in Manassas, a short distance from his home. He said he was confused by what was happening, why agents surrounded the pickup truck.

“And they just got out of the car with the guns in their hands and say, turn off the car, give me the keys, open the window, you know,” Machado told Telemundo 44’s Rosbelis Quinoñez, who first reported his story. “Everything was really fast.”[/COLOR]

He said the agents said the name of a man they were seeking for a deportation order, someone who had given Machado’s home address. Machado told them that wasn’t his name — he didn’t know anyone by that name — and offered to show them his real ID compliant Virginia driver’s license.

“They didn’t ask me for any ID,” Machado said. “I was telling the officer, if I can give him ID, but he said just keep my hands up, not moving. After that, he told me to get out of the car and put the handcuffs on me. And then he went to me and said how did I get into this country and if I was waiting for a court date or if I have any case. And I told him I was an American citizen, and he looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, can you believe this guy? Because he asked the other guy, ‘Do you believe him?’”

Machado said he was uncuffed and immediately released after showing his driver’s license.

The two men with him were taken into custody. He does not know why.

Machado said the experience shook his faith in the immigration enforcement efforts of Trump, for whom he voted.

The department’s plans to perform these tests was first reported (https://news.bgov.com/bloomberg-government-news/noem-directs-polygraph-use-to-target-homeland-security-leaks) by Bloomberg Government.

A spokesperson for DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have blamed lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks revealing the cities where it planned to conduct operations.

Panama will allow more than a hundred undocumented immigrants deported by the United States to stay in the country for at least another 30 days, Security Minister Frank Ábrego said on Friday.The group, mainly from countries in Asia and the Middle East, will receive temporary humanitarian permits for one month that could be extended up to 90 days, Ábrego told reporters, adding that the individuals had declined repatriation help from the United Nations and the International Organization for Migration.

They were among an original group of nearly 300 migrants sent to Panama from the US as part of the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign, which it has pressured Latin American nations to help with.

CNN has previously reported that the group includes asylum seekers who say they are fleeing violence or persecution in their home countries. The remaining group of 112 deportees includes nine people from Afghanistan, 12 from China, 24 from Iran and two from Russia, Ábrego said.

Many of the group have been held in a makeshift camp near the remote Darien jungle.

there's a strong likelihood legit Americans will be deported for not carrying the required registration



The Trump administration announced yesterday it will enforce a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act that requires all undocumented immigrants age 14 or older who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer to register and be fingerprinted or face potential criminal prosecution and civil penalties.

Parents or guardians of undocumented children under age 14 are required by the law to ensure that their children are registered.

Once a person is registered and has appeared for fingerprinting, the Department of Homeland Security will issue evidence of registration, which the registered person must carry and keep in their possession at all times.

BREAKING: Senior ICE and DHS officials just held a background call w/ reporters. Highlights below, per these officials:

Trump administration ICE interior arrests of illegal aliens inside the US has already surpassed all of Biden's ICE interior arrests in all of Fiscal Year 2024.

In Trump's first 50 days in office from January 20th through March 10th, the Trump administration ICE has made 32,809 arrests of illegal aliens in the interior of the US. This almost matches all of Biden ICE interior arrests in FY 2024, which were about 33,300. Officials say in the last two days since March 10th, the Trump ICE arrests are now above this number.

Of the roughly 33,000 ICE arrests under Trump so far:

14,111 are convicted criminals
9,980 have pending charges
8,000 + have immigration violations (being in US illegally)

ICE currently has 47,600 illegal aliens in detention, and they are "maxed out" on beds.

ICE and DHS officials then said a review of their records showed that the Biden administration "cooked the books" and "falsely inflated" ICE arrest data, and were "purposely misleading the American public" by categorizing illegal aliens who were processed by ICE and released into the interior of the US as ICE arrests.

ICE says their review found "tens of thousands" of cases in which these so called "pass through arrests", where no immigration enforcement action was taken and the aliens were released into the country, were counted as interior ICE arrests in the data.

ICE says this was a directive from the previous leadership at DHS, and it included thousands of violent criminals and gang members.

ICE says they are currently attempting to locate and arrest these previous "pass through arrests" from the Biden admin.

"..... A B.C. mom is pleading for help after her daughter was unexpectedly detained in the United States over an incomplete visa.


Alexis Eagles, of Abbotsford, said her 35-year-old daughter, Jasmine Mooney, entered the U.S. at the San Ysidro border crossing between Mexico and San Diego on March 3 with an incomplete application for a Trade NAFTA work

She said U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested her and she spent three nights in the detention centre at the busiest land border crossing in the world. Mooney has not been charged with any crime and does not have a criminal record.

Eagles said Mooney was then handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and transferred to the Otay Mesa Detention Centre in San Diego for another three nights.

Eagles said that on March 9, an online tracking system indicated Mooney had been released.

“However, 24 hours later, there was no sign of her, no communication and we were extremely worried,” Eagles said.

“We eventually learned that about 30 people, including Jasmine, were removed from their cells at 3 a.m. and transferred to the San Luis Detention Center in Arizona. They are housed together in a single concrete cell with no natural light, fluorescent lights that are never turned off, no mats, no blankets, and limited bathroom facilities.”..........

Trump admin deports 10-year-old U.S. citizen recovering from brain cancer to Mexico

A Texas family on their way to an emergency medical check-up for their 10-year-old daughter, who is recovering from brain cancer, was detained by immigration authorities and hastily deported to Mexico last month.

In early February, Customs and Border Protection stopped the family at an immigration checkpoint while they were traveling from Rio Grande, Texas, where they lived, to Houston, where their daughter’s specialists are located — a trip the family had made at least five other times before without incident, according to an attorney representing the family.

insanely abusive, if accurate




A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities.

“It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized.

Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.

“He hardly got anything to drink. And then he wasn’t feeling very well and he collapsed,” said Senior.

He was transported by ambulance to Mass General Hospital. He didn’t know it at the time, but he also had influenza.

On Tuesday, Schmidt was transported to the regional headquarters for ICE in Burlington, Massachusetts, and then transferred to the Wyatt facility. The family, including his partner, who is a cardiologist in Nashua, have acquired attorneys and been working with the German consulate in hopes to have him released on bail.

Schmidt and his mother moved to the U.S. in 2007, and received green cards in 2008. He moved from California to New Hampshire in 2022.
Senior described her son as a hardworking electrical engineer with a partner and 8-year-old daughter who are both U.S. citizens.

DOJ is basically saying the national interest is so urgent that judicial review would be inappropriate


Chris “Law Dork” Geidner reported the news on social media, writing, "DOJ asks the D.C. Circuit to 'halt' the district court in response to the TRO blocking the Trump administration from immediately deporting 5 men without any process."

"DOJ asks for an 'immediate administrative stay' allowing the deportations," Geidner added.

Part of the appeal stood out to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (https://x.com/ReichlinMelnick), a senior fellow at American Immigration Council and former immigration lawyer for Immigrant Justice Corps.

"Holy crap," he said on Saturday. "The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and has never been recognized before in US history."

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Saturday ordered the Trump administration to immediately halt efforts to remove those Venezuelan migrants until he has more time to consider whether Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal.

He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.

...
ICE is under extreme pressure from the White House to ramp up enforcement. Top ICE officials, including the newly installed acting director, were re-assigned within weeks of Trump taking office, allegedly over frustrations that detentions and deportations weren't rising fast enough.

The reality of immigration enforcement is that targeting convicted criminals requires time and manpower; it can take half a dozen agents to arrest a single person.

An airport checkpoint – like the one at the San Juan airport in mid-February – can quickly round up multiple people whose immigration status may be in limbo.

"ICE is really widening the net in a really chilling way in terms of who they are going after," said Jesse Franzblau, senior policy analyst for the National Immigrant Justice Center. "People who generally don’t fit the profile of who they picked up before are being picked up now."

It took days for Bartell to find his wife after she was detained at the airport.

President Trump says he wants a “merit-based” immigration system, but a system banning people based on their nationality is the opposite of merit-based. It is a national embarrassment. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has already handed President Trump near-total power over the legal immigration system. He can rewrite laws and ban whole nationalities on a whim. Congress could try to pass a law seeking to rein in these abuses, but President Trump has a theory of the Constitution (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-american-people-against-invasion/) under which the president can override US law.
