torturing a guy for a green card violation seems a bit much

“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.

Why, because they'll gladly turn criminal to pick our produce so we can buy it cheaper?

So, it's either the illegal and deadly drug cartel business, or, illegally pick fruit south of your border.

at bottom, official declarations of terrorism amount to outlawry, the tendency is to place people beyond the protection of the law

as such, such prosecutions underscore the multi-tiered aspect of US justice. one tier with due process and one without.

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, 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."

While of course deporting citizens is unlawful, I see nothing specific in the argument that would purport to limit that claim to noncitizens, since it's based on membership in a gang. But this is also a badly written brief with a stupid and unlawful argument at its core.

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

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.

The lawsuit, brought on behalf of five named Venezuelan immigrants, was provisionally turned into a class action — meaning it serves as a block on deportation of all non-citizens in U.S. custody who are subject to Trump’s proclamation invoking the rarely-used law.

“Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished,” Boasberg announced. “Make sure it’s complied with immediately.”

what's wrong with St Kitts and Nevis?

it's on the draft travel ban list

Saint Kitts and Nevis (/-ˈkɪts ... ˈniːvɪs/ ^ⓘ), officially the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis,^[7] is an island country consisting of the two islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis, both located in the West Indies, in the Leeward Islands chain of the Lesser Antilles. With 261 square kilometres (101 sq mi) of territory, and roughly 48,000 inhabitants, it is the smallest sovereign state in the Western Hemisphere, in both area and population, as well as the world's smallest sovereign federation.^[1] The country is a Commonwealth realm, with Charles III as king and head of state.^[1][8]

The capital city is Basseterre, located on the larger island of Saint Kitts.^[1] Basseterre is also the main port for passenger entry (via cruise ships) and cargo. The smaller island of Nevis lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) to the southeast of Saint Kitts, across a shallow channel called The Narrows.^[1]

The British dependency of Anguilla was historically also a part of this union, which was known collectively as Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla. However, Anguilla chose to secede from the union in 1967, and remains a British overseas territory.^[1]

The colony had recovered by the turn of the 18th century, and St Kitts had become the richest British Crown Colony per capita in the Caribbean as result of its slave-based sugar industry by the close of the 1700s.^[23] The 18th century also saw Nevis, formerly the richer of the two islands, being eclipsed by St Kitts in economic importance.^{[14]: 75 [22]: 126, 137}Alexander Hamilton, the future U.S. secretary of the Treasury, was born on Nevis in 1755 or 1757.^[24]

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.

Trump is going to kill tourism in this country

commie pinkos at the Cato Ins ute sound off on travel ban 2.0

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 Cons ution under which the president can override US law. Congress should try to stop him anyway.
