Documents filed in federal court ahead of the hearing allege that it was the contents of Dr. Rasha Alawieh's cellphone that led to her detention, and ultimate deportation, from Logan Airport in Boston.

Federal authorities say in court documents filed in the deportation case of Alawieh, 34, that customs and border officials found "sympathetic photos and videos" of Hezbollah leaders on her cell phone.

They also found "various other Hezbollah militants" in the deleted photo folder of her cell phone.

"With the discovery of these photographs and videos CHP questioned Dr. Alawieh and determined that her true intentions in the United States could not be determined," the documents allege.

"As such CBP canceled her visa and deemed Dr. Alawieh inadmissible to the United States."

similar gambit as Gitmo

declare the targets bad guys without a hearing or formal charges of any kind, then throw them into a torture gulag indefinitely

at Gitmo, 90% eventually walked without charges of any kind being laid against them and had low intelligence value

the difference here is that people are being deported due process-free from the USA

it's only a matter of time until Trumplandia deports legit US citizens process-free if it hasn't happened already

Dems fighting for terrorist sympathizers and drug dealers/ gangs. this fantasy land.the US isn't a due process-free zone yet

y'all keep attacking the form of government and the laws, patriotic Americans will keep defending it

[Winehole23]

y'all used the same lines about Gitmo

anyone who stood up for US law was a "terrorist sympathizer"

but what really happened, then and now, is that people were declared criminals without a hearing and deported due-process free to a gulag

at Gitmo, 90% of the people we sent there couldn't be charged with anything and were eventually sent home, after years of mistreatment

[Winehole23]

The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus) (https://bsky.app/profile/asharangappa.bsky.social/post/3lkmuon7d622y). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.that means you too, GAustex

Trump won't be in power forever

[Winehole23]

Also, historical note: When President Lincoln *actually suspended* habeas corpus under the Suspension Act of 1863, he was required to provide lists of all people detained who were not POWs to the circuit court. He complied. While prosecuting an *actual war*. (This is Milligan)

Why did you only post that snippet and leave these parts of the court declaration out?

7. Agency personnel carefully vetted each individual alien to ensure they were in
fact members of TdA. Officers and agents well versed in gang activity in general and TdA in
particular reviewed the information gathered on each alien, identifying TdA members based upon
the results of investigative techniques and information such as previous criminal convictions for
TdA-related activities, other court records indicating membership in TdA, surveillance, law
enforcement encounters, interviews with the TdA member, testimonies and statements from
victims of the TdA member, evidence that the alien had committed crimes in coordination with
known members of TdA, evidence that the alien had committed sophisticated financial
transactions with known members of TdA, computer indices checks, and admission of TdA
membership by the alien. ICE did not simply rely on social media posts, photographs of the alien
displaying gang-related hand gestures, or tattoos alone.

10. However, even though many of these TdA members have been in the United
States only a short time, some have still managed to commit extremely serious crimes. A review
of ICE databases reveals that numerous individuals removed under the AEA have arrests and
convictions in the United States for dangerous offenses, including an individual alleged to have
committed murder; an individual with pending state charges for aggravated assault with weapon
and who was identified by state authorities related to an armed home invasion and kidnapping;
an individual with a state arrest for harassment, and indecent assault where he entered the room
of a fourteen-year-old victim, tried to lift her shirt, grabbed her thigh, and rubbed his penis on
her; an individual who was arrested for fourth-degree grand larceny and resisting arrest who was
encountered in a home with other gang members, three automatic rifles, two handguns, and
extended magazines; an individual convicted of conspiracy to harbor aliens, in violation of 8
U.S.C. § 1325(a)(1)(A)(v)(I) and (a)(1)(B)(i), involving his role in a stash house—including his
job of taking and restricting access to the victims’ cell phones—where officers and agents
located sixteen individuals in the stash house, including a pregnant female and a fifteen-year-old
unaccompanied child; an individual arrested for a misdemeanor sex offense and felony assault;
Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 26-1 Filed 03/17/25 Page 4 of 6
an individual with a state arrest for second-degree assault, intent to cause injury with
weapon/instrument; an individual arrested for second-degree assault with intent to cause serious
physical injury in a manner injure child less than seventeen, for which there is an order of
protection in the case; an individual arrested at a TdA-run brothel and charged with evading
arrest, promoting prostitution, possession of fentanyl, and possession of marijuana; an individual
arrested for property damage, assault and simple assault; as well numerous other theft and
larceny-related offenses.

11. Additionally, a review of ICE databases reveals that numerous individuals
removed have arrests, pending charges, and convictions outside of the United States, including
an individual who is under investigation by Venezuelan authorities for the crimes of aggravated
homicide, qualified kidnapping, and illegal carrying of weapons of war and short arms with
ammunition for organized gang in concealment and trafficking; an individual who is the subject
of an active INTERPOL Blue Notice issued on or about January 2, 2025, and a Red Notice
issued February 5, 2025, for the crime of kidnapping and rape in Chile; an individual who is the
subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice issued by Chile for kidnapping for ransom and criminal
conspiracy involving TdA; an individual who admitted he sold marijuana and crystal
methamphetamine for the Colombian gang Las Paisas, assaulted someone with a knife for a
cellphone while living in Venezuela, and has twice robbed people for money while living in
Colombia; an individual who is the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice for child abduction; an
individual identified as a “high-ranking” member of the TdA by the Mobile Tactical Interdiction
Unit in Guatemala City, Guatemala; an individual who is the subject of an INTERPOL Red
Notice based on obstruction of justice, criminal conspiracy, and aggravated corruption based on
the individual’s role as a police officer in modifying evidence to cover up a murder; an individual
Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 26-1 Filed 03/17/25 Page 5 of 6
who, according to Peruvian Newspapers, is associated with high-ranking TdA members and who
fled Peru while under investigation for illegal possession of firearm and distributing narcotics; an
individual who is the subject of an INTERPOL Blue Notice stating that he is under investigation
in Venezuela for murder with aggravating circumstances against a victim whose corpse was
found inside a suitcase on a dirt road; and an individual who is the subject of an warrant from
Chile for carrying or holding a weapon subject to control.

12. According to a review of ICE databases, numerous individuals removed were
arrested together as part of federal gang operations, including two individuals who were in a
vehicle during a Federal Bureau of Investigations gun bust with known TdA members; four
individuals who were arrested during the execution of an Homeland Security Investigations New
York City operation; and four individuals who were encountered during the execution of an
arrest warrant targeting TdA gang member, all of whom were in a residence with a firearm and
attempted to flee out the back of the residence.

we'll find out quickly if Trumplandia still honors valid judicial orders

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/15/trump-deportation-lawsuit-00232121










"valid judicial orders" :lol

The Supreme Court explicitly ruled in the 1948 Ludecke v. Watkins case that Alien Enemy Act removals by the president are non-justiciable.

Here are some key excerpts from the ruling, lest anyone think the SCOTUS opinion was in any way unclear: “The Alien Enemy Act precludes judicial review of the removal order.”

That line is literally the first sentence of the SCOTUS holding.

“The very nature of the President's power to order the removal of all enemy aliens rejects the notion that courts may pass judgment upon the exercise of his discretion.”

“[E]very judge before whom the question has since come has held that the statute barred judicial review.”

“A war power of the President not subject to judicial review is not transmuted into a judicially reviewable action because the President chooses to have that power exercised within narrower limits than Congress authorized.”

“These are matters of political judgment for which judges have neither technical competence nor official responsibility.”

“The Act is almost as old as the Constitution, and it would savor of doctrinaire audacity now to find the statute offensive to some emanation of the Bill of Rights.”

“Accordingly, we hold that full responsibility for the just exercise of this great power may validly be left where the Congress has constitutionally placed it -- on the President of the United States. The Founders, in their wisdom, made him not only the Commander in Chief, but also the guiding organ in the conduct of our foreign affairs.”

There is no gray area or uncertainty here.

As the Supreme Court has made abundantly and explicitly clear, removals under the Alien Removal Act are non-justiciable. Because of this, it is the inferior and unelected district judge who is violating the law and the Constitution today by purporting to have the authority to review what the Supreme Court—his superior—has prohibited him from reviewing.

The proper form for this case to take, based on the Constitution, federal statutes, and 250 years of case law in this country, is for the judge to dismiss the plaintiffs’ case for lack of jurisdiction and standing. Plaintiffs can of course appeal that dismissal, at which point the appellate court would be required to reject the appeal. And if plaintiffs wished to do so at that point, they could apply for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court, which would then decide whether it wished to overturn its own precedents. Only the Supreme Court has the authority to undertake such an action. And even if that were to happen, the president still retains inherent Article II authority, independent of federal statute, to remove foreign enemies from the United States.

That is how the legal system in this country actually works. It does not in any way empower an inferior trial court judge to unilaterally overturn controlling federal law or Supreme Court precedents.

Here's the start of the actual, literal text of the act:

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government, and the President of the United States shall make public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being males of the age of fourteen years and upwards, who shall be within the United States, and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies.

at least one US citizen got deported with her parents already


Spanning both Obama administrations, an NPR investigation found, immigration authorities asked local authorities to detain about 700 Americans (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/22/504031635/you-say-you-re-an-american-but-what-if-you-had-to-prove-it-or-be-deported). Meanwhile, a U.S. Government Accountability Office report found that immigration authorities asked to hold roughly 600 likely citizens during Trump’s first term. The GAO also found that Trump actually deported about 70 likely citizens (https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-21-487#summary_recommend).https://www.propublica.org/article/more-americans-will-be-caught-up-trump-immigration-raids

I think it's ok for people to scream and yell about

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

There was no explanation, no warning. One minute, I was in an immigration office talking to an officer about my work visa, which had been approved months before and allowed me, a Canadian, to work in the US. The next, I was told to put my hands against the wall, and patted down like a criminal before being sent to an Ice detention center without the chance to talk to a lawyer.

...

The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.

Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.

Suri has no criminal record and has not been charged with a crime, his petition says. His detention and petition have not been previously reported.

Suri’s lawyer, Hassan Ahmad, argued in his petition that Suri is being punished because of the Palestinian heritage of his wife — who is a U.S. citizen — and because the government suspects that he and his wife oppose U.S. foreign policy toward Israel.https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/19/trump-deportation-georgetown-graduate-student-00239754

7. Agency personnel carefully vetted each individual alien to ensure they were in
fact members of TdA. Officers and agents well versed in gang activity in general and TdA in
particular reviewed the information gathered on each alien, identifying TdA members based upon
the results of investigative techniques and information such as previous criminal convictions for
TdA-related activities, other court records indicating membership in TdA, surveillance, law
enforcement encounters, interviews with the TdA member, testimonies and statements from
victims of the TdA member, evidence that the alien had committed crimes in coordination with
known members of TdA, evidence that the alien had committed sophisticated financial
transactions with known members of TdA, computer indices checks, and admission of TdA
membership by the alien. ICE did not simply rely on social media posts, photographs of the alien
displaying gang-related hand gestures, or tattoos alone.

never mind the 8th Amendment and changing penal law by presidential decree



Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that El Salvador’s offer to accept and jail violent American criminals raises clear legal issues but described it as “very generous” and said President Donald Trump would make a decision on whether to move forward with it.

Rubio reached an unusual agreement with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele a day earlier that the Central American country would accept U.S. deportees of any nationality, including American citizens and legal residents who are imprisoned for violent crimes.

“There are obviously legalities involved. We have a Constitution,” Rubio said at a news conference Tuesday in San Jose with Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves. “But it’s a very generous offer. No one’s ever made an offer like that — and to outsource, at a fraction of the cost, at least some of the most dangerous and violent criminals that we have in the United States. But obviously, the administration will have to make a decision.”

"valid judicial orders" :lol

The Supreme Court explicitly ruled in the 1948 Ludecke v. Watkins case that Alien Enemy Act removals by the president are non-justiciable.

Here are some key excerpts from the ruling, lest anyone think the SCOTUS opinion was in any way unclear: “The Alien Enemy Act precludes judicial review of the removal order.”

That line is literally the first sentence of the SCOTUS holding.

“The very nature of the President's power to order the removal of all enemy aliens rejects the notion that courts may pass judgment upon the exercise of his discretion.”

“[E]very judge before whom the question has since come has held that the statute barred judicial review.”

“A war power of the President not subject to judicial review is not transmuted into a judicially reviewable action because the President chooses to have that power exercised within narrower limits than Congress authorized.”

“These are matters of political judgment for which judges have neither technical competence nor official responsibility.”

“The Act is almost as old as the Constitution, and it would savor of doctrinaire audacity now to find the statute offensive to some emanation of the Bill of Rights.”

“Accordingly, we hold that full responsibility for the just exercise of this great power may validly be left where the Congress has constitutionally placed it -- on the President of the United States. The Founders, in their wisdom, made him not only the Commander in Chief, but also the guiding organ in the conduct of our foreign affairs.”

There is no gray area or uncertainty here.

As the Supreme Court has made abundantly and explicitly clear, removals under the Alien Removal Act are non-justiciable. Because of this, it is the inferior and unelected district judge who is violating the law and the Constitution today by purporting to have the authority to review what the Supreme Court—his superior—has prohibited him from reviewing.

The proper form for this case to take, based on the Constitution, federal statutes, and 250 years of case law in this country, is for the judge to dismiss the plaintiffs’ case for lack of jurisdiction and standing. Plaintiffs can of course appeal that dismissal, at which point the appellate court would be required to reject the appeal. And if plaintiffs wished to do so at that point, they could apply for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court, which would then decide whether it wished to overturn its own precedents. Only the Supreme Court has the authority to undertake such an action. And even if that were to happen, the president still retains inherent Article II authority, independent of federal statute, to remove foreign enemies from the United States.

That is how the legal system in this country actually works. It does not in any way empower an inferior trial court judge to unilaterally overturn controlling federal law or Supreme Court precedents.

I’ll be tweeting here (https://bsky.app/profile/cnewman.bsky.social/post/3ll56sl2bds2s) from Federal District Court in San Francisco as Judge Chen hears arguments in the case of National TPS Alliance v Noem which seeks to prevent Trump admin from de-documenting Venezuelans and Haitians w/ TPS.


Judge Chen asks attorneys for Trump admin whether there is any evidence in the administrative record to support its claim that Venezuelans are members of so-called “Tren de Agua” gang. Their response: “We don’t have any specific answer to that…”


Questions now from Judge Chen about difference between seeking a preliminary injunction and postponement/vacatur.


Trump lawyers explicitly concede that Sec Noem didn’t examine country conditions before seeking to revoke TPS extensions.


Lots of complicated jurisdictional arguments, but Trump lawyers seem to essentially be relying on an argument that it can do whatever it wants if it determines it is advancing “the national interest.”

legit refugees targeted is disgraceful and dishonorable

any US agent or officer connected with this should go to prison


E.M. and his girlfriend fled persecution in their native Venezuela in 2021 and dreamed of making a new life in the United States. The young couple spend two years in Colombia before applying for refugee status in 2023 to come to the U.S. Struggling to survive in Colombia, they worked tirelessly in informal jobs, selling food on the streets and making deliveries to make ends meet. On Jan. 8, after they were finally granted the coveted refugee status, E.M., 29, and his girlfriend, Daniela Palma, 30, finally arrived in the United States, flying into Houston. Upon arrival, an immigration officer asked the young man the question that changed his life in moments. “Do you have any tattoos?”

He had already been asked that by U.S. authorities in Colombia as part of an extensive background check, and he now gave the same answer. He lifted his shirt and pants and showed the immigration officer tattoos on his chest, legs and arms — a crown, a soccer ball and a palm tree. At that point, it no longer mattered that he had no criminal record, and that he had been granted refugee status, with the full legal right to enter the United States. Immigration officials decided the tattoos were evidence enough to suspect he might be a member of Tren de Aragua, a prison-born Venezuelan gang whose members have earned a reputation in Latin America as fearless and ruthless.

E.M., whom the Miami Herald is not identifying by his full name for his safety in case he is forced to return to Venezuela, was detained. His girlfriend, threatened with detention for months herself, agreed to be deported back to Colombia. E.M. spent the next couple of months in three different immigration detention centers in Texas, his girlfriend said. On March 15, the Trump administration deported him, along with over 200 other Venezuelans, to El Salvador, where they were promptly imprisoned in a maximum-security facility with a troubling history of violating human rights and where men sleep hundreds to a cell on steel beds with no mattresses or pillows.

Florida has been working for years to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants. But that presented a problem for businesses in the state that are desperate for workers to fill low-wage and often undesirable jobs.

Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature have a potential solution: children.

The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill (https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2025/918) that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days.

“Evidence suggesting a student visa applicant intends to travel to the United States to engage in unlawful activities clearly calls into question whether the applicant possesses intent and/or the ability to solely pursue a full course of study,” the cable states.

is ICE collaring dissidents on behalf of Russia now?

this looks every bit like administrative detention -- what's the good government rationale for this?


A Russian scientist working at Harvard Medical School (HMS) has been detained in the United States and placed in immigration detention. According to multiple independent Russian media outlets and the scientist’s friends, she now faces possible deportation to Russia, where she could be subject to political persecution over her anti-war stance.

The news of her detention was shared (https://www.facebook.com/cora.anderson.581/posts/pfbid0YuSmdumFc7C7fioSLd4TQrUnFcDtZH1RvJiePX22ZW6v kEFWdd3drf66tyN1kzb5l?rdid=IZfSuKP6XUNmi0ve#) on Facebook by her friend and colleague Cora Anderson. Friends of the scientist also launched a GoFundMe campaign (https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-kseniia-a-harvard-scientist-in-need/cl/o?attribution_id=sl:2e0bd175-9e29-4920-8d4f-f4b3c7f1af8c&lang=en_US&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_c&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link), which has already raised over $39,000 to support her legal and living expenses. “Kseniia is in danger,” a person familiar with the case told (https://t.me/mozhemobyasnit/20247) the Telegram channel Mozhem Obyasnit’ (lit. “We Can Explain”).\

Kseniia, a Russian bioinformatics researcher, arrived in Boston from the Republic of Georgia in the spring of 2023 to work at Harvard Medical School. She had been compelled to leave Russia due to her outspoken anti-war stance, which could have led to criminal charges back home. While her surname was not disclosed in the original posts, Mozhem Obyasnit’ was able to locate her Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100022022832628), suggesting her name is Kseniya (Kseniia) Petrova, a graduate of MIPT (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology). Her page includes multiple posts criticizing the Russian government and denouncing the invasion of Ukraine. Petrova's page (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kseniya-petrova-bio/) on Linkedin listed her as an associate researcher at Harvard Medical School working in Dr. Marc Kirschner's lab in the Department of Systems Biology.

On Feb. 16, after returning from a personal trip to France, she was detained at Boston Logan International Airport, where her visa was revoked. When Kseniia stated that she feared persecution if she were to return to Russia, she was transferred to immigration detention, first in Vermont, then in Louisiana. She is now being held in an ICE detention facility, in a room shared with 80 other women.

According to her friend Andrei Shevtsov, who spoke to the independent exiled Russian news outlet Agentstvo (https://t.me/agentstvonews/9631), the visa was revoked and Kseniia was detained after undeclared frog embryo samples were found in her luggage.

Leon Peshkin, Petrova’s supervisor at Harvard Medical School, confirmed (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/27/russian-scientist-harvard-medical-school-ice-detention) to The Guardian that he had asked her to collect a box of frog embryo samples from colleagues in France and bring them back to the lab — calling it “a huge mistake.”

In a LinkedIn post (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7223094019235454976/) from seven months ago, Petrova explained that frog specimens are essential for studying protein phosphorylation during oocyte meiotic divisions using phosphoproteomics — a method that can help clarify the regulation of meiosis, egg cell maturation, and related reproductive disorders.
According to Peshkin, the import of the samples was legal, but Petrova made an error in completing the U.S. customs declaration, which led to her being stopped by customs officers upon arrival at Boston’s Logan Airport — and denied re-entry into the country.

Petrova’s attorney, Gregory Romanovsky, argued that her failure to declare an item at customs — a violation typically punishable by a fine of up to $500 and confiscation of the item — did not give U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) the legal grounds to revoke her visa. Petrova has filed two legal petitions — one for habeas corpus and another for asylum — through her attorney seeking release from immigration detention.

Petrova was initially given two options after being stopped by CBP: return to France and reapply for a visa, or face deportation and a five-year entry ban. She chose to return to France, but when she informed a CBP officer that she feared political persecution if sent back to Russia, the agency opted to detain her instead, according to a petition filed by her attorney, Gregory Romanovsky.

“They definitely overstepped their authority by punishing Kseniia through the immigration penalties, as opposed to what they were supposed to do,” Romanovsky said in an interview with The Harvard Crimson (https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/3/28/hms-researcher-detained/).

Peshkin added that Petrova is currently in ICE custody awaiting an asylum hearing scheduled for May 7. While she is eligible for parole during the wait — and a request for her release has been filed — “paroles are now not happening,” the scientist said.

Romanovsky described Petrova as an ideal candidate for parole, but warned that the chances of her release remain slim, citing ICE’s continued “zero-tolerance, no-release mode” under the Trump administration.

“It all falls on deaf ears,” Romanovsky told The Harvard Crimson. “They’re not releasing many people, if anyone, at the moment.”

Peshkin's wife, fellow scientist Virginia Savova, also commented (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vsavova_update-1-week-later-we-just-got-word-at-activity-7297240330939084828-xPZZ/) on the situation. She and Peshkin are currently supporting Petrova during her detention:


“She is still in detention and no answers or timelines.... we have accepted it, send money for snacks and phone calls, sent her some books. Talk to her every day. That's it. Does the rule of law in the USA not exist anymore? We learned there are many people like us, Canadians, Germans... And that is about it. The new normal.”



Despite having legal representation — and despite the fact that no formal charges have been filed against her — Kseniia remains in ICE custody, with her release date uncertain. Supporters are currently helping her apply for a new work visa, but the process is expected to take several months, during which she cannot work legally, according to her support group.

raw power isn't a reason

The Magic Negro & Biden used it as such..."You don't like it? Fuck you!"

So I had to seethe.

Your turn.

Trust me, you'll miss 'em, kori.

I seriously won't, not in the least. I don't know them personally and thus I don't give a fuck about them in those respects. As well, they come across like such annoying bitch males online that I doubt any of us world miss them. They're both worthless, online and irl.

Still and all they're better than nothing, than nobody. They're in here everyday kibitzing with you on all manner of issues. And even I disagree with them on 90% of their aim, they have cogent arguments. That's rare on the Internet.

Oh yeah, when he was running for office, he stated that he would not be a President for Black Americans nor White Americans, but for all Americans. Then that Black kid got killed by that Mexican who CNN turned into a White man and Obama sold the farm..."If I had a son he'd be this kid."

From that point on he was strictly a Black PresidentPERIOD

Just don't substitute a White man for a Mexican by having the The Magic Negro conspire with CNN to pull that stunt.

On a plane I re-watched, for the first time in decades, a film about an undocumented immigrant couple working hard to achieve the American dream: a house, a family, friends, a small business - only to be stalked by immigration decades later.

Judiciary continues to rein in Trumpandia's arbitrary detentions of people following the law


A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of a Venezuelan couple who were detained by immigration authorities this month despite having legal authorization to live and work in the United States, calling their apprehensions baseless and unlawful.


At a hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, Judge Leonie M. Brinkema granted a petition for release filed by the couple, who received temporary protected status after crossing the border illegally in October 2022.



Brinkema rebuked government officials for claiming in court that the couple posed a public threat and ordered both of them released straight from the courthouse.


“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. Addressing a government lawyer, Brinkema said, “If this was a criminal case … I’d throw you out of my chambers.”

Trump’s southern border military mission cost over $300 million in first 6 weeks


The Trump administration’s major military mission at the southern border focused on reducing immigration and drug flows has already cost taxpayers more than $300 million, according to sources briefed on data from the Defense Department comptroller — even as the administration has vowed to slash the size of government and cut 8 percent from the department’s budget.

In just the first month, the Pentagon spent roughly $250 million dollars, a source briefed on the cost and two other people familiar with the matter told CNN, including deportation flights on US military aircraft, the deployment of thousands of additional troops and the expansion of detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay.

As of March 12, it had spent $328 million. The DoD Comptroller briefed lawmakers on the costs earlier this month, the sources all said.
