Promise made: mass deportation

[Winehole23]

Trump's immigration sweeps are obviously injurious to business in general, they are also disturbing.

In my opinion, the Trumpy police state is way too intrusive to everyday life.

They're literally tearing families and communities apart.

Wearing their Illinois National Guard uniforms, Axel and Andres Reyes arrived with their mother at a South Loop immigration office on Tuesday morning.

The men, 19 and 24, watched their mother, who was born in Mexico and has been in the U.S. for more than 24 years, enter the office where at least 10 people were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement just two weeks ago in what federal agents called “executable final orders of removal.”
...
“We fear her being detained and us not being there,” Andres Reyes said of his mother, who is seeking citizenship and is in the country on a work permit. “We can’t really do anything about it or get involved in that, but we just always want to be with her.”

Ultimately, their mother was not detained. The brothers left with her around 1 p.m.

blast from the past, vindicated by contemporaneous results

Transportation accidentally released its internal memo to the defense

DOT accidentally filed their internal brief on the case

The Department of Transportation and its Justice Department lawyers are at odds over their ongoing legal effort to axe Manhattan’s congestion pricing pilot program after federal attorneys accidentally docketed an internal memo outlining their concerns with the case.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced plans to kill the program in February, calling it a “slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners." Lawyers at the Southern District of New York are representing Duffy and the Trump administration’s Department of Transportation after it was sued by the Manhattan Transit Authority over Duffy’s demand to do so.

But late Wednesday night, those Justice Department attorneys uploaded an internal letter to the public court docket in which they discussed how difficult it would be for Duffy to win the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dominika Tarczynska, David Farber and Christine Poscablo wrote that “there is considerable litigation risk” in defending Duffy’s decision, which they said was “contrary to law, pretextual, procedurally arbitrary and capricious, and violated due process.”

As it turns out, the 11-page letter, addressed to Department of Transportation senior trial attorney Erin Hendrixson and dated April 11, was uploaded by mistake. The Justice Department lawyers asked the court on Thursday to seal the filing, which they say is privileged.

“Although the contents of the do ent have been made public in news reporting, the do ent was filed in error and should not be considered part of the court docket,” they wrote.

Trump's immigration dragnet is going to screw up the Olympics

This is chicken , there's no national security concern that's served by denying basketball players and trainers admission to the US.

Hard blow for the Lionesses of Senegalese basketball. With less than two months to go before the 2025 Women's Afrobasket scheduled to take place in Côte d'Ivoire (July 26 – August 3), the preparation of the national team is disrupted by a visa denial by the United States Embassy to a large part of the delegation.

According to the daily Record reviewed by Senego, five players as well as thirteen members of the technical, medical and administrative staff have not obtained permission to enter the United States, where an important phase of preparation was planned. In total, only two coaches and two players received the precious sesame — well below the number required to implement the initially planned preparatory program.

US citizen, detained for being a brown passenger in a car

“This is going to go one of two ways here. I need to see your ID — if you’re not the guy I’m looking for, you’re not the guy I’m looking for. But we need your ID," the ICE agent says in the video.

Lemus said he demanded the agents' name and badge number, but they refused to provide any identifying information, claiming they were "not authorized" to do so.

"I told them that I'm not authorized to give my ID then," Lemus said.

An ICE agent threatened him again.

"If we don’t get your ID we are going to need to figure out another way to ID you and that may not work out well for you," the agent said.
Lemus was then placed in handcuffs for refusing to provide identification to the ICE agents. He said he was hesitant to cooperate because he hadn't committed any crimes, and he knew the federal agents were not local police, NBC 4 reports.




"I didn't want to get my ID because as soon as I saw how they were dressed, I knew they weren't police officers. I didn't commit a crime and wasn't driving," he said.

The ICE agents allegedly left Lemus in cuffs for 20-25 minutes, and confiscated his phone to prevent him from filming them. They eventually found his ID in his pockets.

"It was heartbreaking … it felt like my rights were just out the window," Lemus said.

Lemus' attorney is calling ICE's alleged harassment a breach of his client's federal civil rights.

"This is not America. This is not how we as Americans should have to live. This is not how this young man, as a young Hispanic man going to work at 7:30 in the morning, needs to be greeted at the beginning of his day," attorney Fred Brewington said.

The attorney said ICE can't just "randomly, on a hunch, stop people," calling it "contrary to the Cons ution."

New York State Assemblyman Philip Ramo, a former police detective, also weighed in and demanded an investigation. He labelled the incident as racial profiling.

Lemus and his attorney are calling for a full investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. They have not filed a lawsuit at this time.

The incident left Lemus fearful about future potential encounters with federal agents based on nothing more than his ethnicity.

“It felt like I lost all rights when they pulled me over," he said. "I felt like I had nothing anymore, Felt like they stripped my rights, I was honestly shocked."
