they contain topically relevant information from sources that aren't me
if you're allergic to that, I can't help you
out of curiosity, what do you think i've lied about?
At this point, Trumplandia is going after Green Cards, people who have interviewed for Green Cards and people who came to the US legally under temporary protection, as if they were breaking the rules
But they didn't
Revoking compliance in this way, though legally valid, is a cheat
Trump is declaring millions of people out of compliance who were in compliance, who were following the rules at the time
Those people aren't illegals, they're victims of executive discretion
also, they pose little hazard to us
the big Texas studies confirm that immigrants are more law abiding than Texas natives, and are a net positive economically
the animus is xenophobia at best, racial animus at worst.
as a cohort, central american immigrants are approximately as well educated and less law breaking than native Texans
No one is safe against a lawless government
https://m.sevendaysvt.com/news/winoo...cials-44054967Winooski schools superintendent Wilmer Chavarria was detained by immigration agents and questioned over the course of five hours on his way home Monday from a routine visit to Nicaragua with his husband.
Chavarria, who grew up in Nicaragua and has been a U.S. citizen since 2018, told Seven Days that immigration officials seized his phone and computer, separated him from his husband, and prevented him from speaking to anyone he requested to contact.
“They falsely stated that I, a U.S. citizen, have no Cons utional rights at a point of entry, and officers became increasingly agitated as I continued to assert my rights regardless,” Chavarria wrote in an email informing school district leaders about the incident.
It happened at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston as Chavarria tried to get through security using Global Entry — a program that allows preapproved, “low-risk” travelers to get expedited clearance when entering the U.S. He said he had used the program many times without issue.
This time, he was pulled aside and taken by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to an interrogation room.
During their questioning, immigration agents cast doubt on Chavarria’s relationship to Cyrus Dudgeon, his partner of 15 years and a teacher at Essex High School, and suggested that he was making up his role as a superintendent, Chavarria said. They never gave him a reason for why he was being detained; Dudgeon was not.
Authorities told Chavarria that he had no right to legal counsel and interrogated him in four different rooms. At one point, four officers were questioning him at once, he said.
The experience, he wrote, was “nothing short of surreal and the definition of psychological terror.”
LA federal grand juries are no-billing protesters accused of assault.
That's very rare, only probable cause is needed to indict, but AUSAs traditionally only bring cases they're confident of winning. Seems that custom has changed.
LA grand juries either think the cases are bull or they're nope-ing out.
https://www.latimes.com/california/s...harges-essayliTo bystanders at the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, it sounded as though U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli would not take no for an answer.
A prosecutor had the irate Trump administration appointee on speakerphone outside the grand jury room, and his screaming was audible, according to three law enforcement officials aware of the encounter who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
The grand jury had just refused to indict someone accused of attacking federal law enforcement officers during protests against the recent immigration raids throughout Southern California, two of the federal officials said.
It was an exceedingly rare outcome after a type of hearing that routinely leads to federal charges being filed.
On the overheard call, according to the three officials, Essayli, 39, told a subordinate to disregard the federal government’s “Justice Manual,” which directs prosecutors to bring only cases they can win at trial. Essayli barked that prosecutors should press on and secure indictments as directed by U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi, according to the three officials.

Deaf, mute and terrified: ICE arrests DACA recipient and ships him to Texas
Court records show the reason for Essayli’s frustration.
Although his office filed felony cases against at least 38 people for alleged misconduct that either took place during last month’s protests or near the sites of immigration raids, many have been dismissed or reduced to misdemeanor charges.
The three officials who spoke to The Times on condition of anonymity said prosecutors have struggled to get several protest-related cases past grand juries, which need only to find probable cause that a crime has been committed in order to move forward. That is a much lower bar than the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard required for a criminal conviction.
Five cases have been dismissed without prejudice — meaning they could be refiled — and records show nine have been filed as misdemeanors, which do not require a grand jury indictment to proceed. In some cases, prosecutors reduced charges against defendants to misdemeanors after repeatedly falling short at the grand jury stage, according to the three officials.

This is from a 2019 article
No wonder AUSA Essayli was pissed off
He probably has more losses in this sort of case than any other AUSA, ever
wild, but so is trump 2.0
the most destructive, extreme and radical presidency of my lifetime, no contest
The case we were writing about in 2019 was very possibly an instance of a grand jury returning no true bill (in a political prosecution pushed by trump no less), but that still hasn’t been confirmed because of secrecy rules. It is WILD that the LA Times was able to report this
~160 of these guys had no criminal record, only six had been convicted of violent crimes
In the four months they spent there, the detainees said, they were beaten repeatedly with wooden bats. González was robbed of thousands of dollars, he said, and denied access to lawyers or a chance to call his family. Joen Suárez, 23, was taken several times to a dark room known as La Isla — or “the island” — and beaten, kicked and insulted. Angel Blanco Marin, 22, said he was hit so hard he lost half of a molar. He asked for painkillers and medical attention but was given none for more than a month.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...ibes-beatings/https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...ibes-beatings/At CECOT, the detainees said, Venezuelans were held in cells of nine to 15 people with metal benches for beds — thin mattresses were brought in for photographs and then taken away — and water buckets for drinking and bathing. “It looked like a cage,” González said.
On the first day, Blanco vomited and had no way to clean his shirt for several days, he said. Eventually the detainees said they were given soap and toothpaste, but not regularly.
It was uncomfortably hot during the day, González said, and frigid at night. The cells reeked of urine and sewage, Blanco said.
The detainees were awakened at 4 a.m. and given time to wash themselves, González said. If they were seen cleaning themselves with the bucket outside of showering hours, he said, they were taken toa dark cell for punishments, where they would be shackled to a chair and hit with a stick. Blanco recalled hearing the screams from down the hallway.
As a teenager, González was a professional baseball prospect who attended player development academies and played on elite teams in Venezuela, his family said.

Unable as an adult to find work in Venezuela, he said, he traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border, waited months for an appointment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and entered the U.S. legally in April 2023. But as soon as he set foot on U.S. soil, he said, he was accused of affiliation with Tren de Aragua and detained.
He was held for a year. He had no criminal record in any of the four countries where he’d lived and worked, he said.
ICE released González to his sponsor in 2024. He cleaned offices and painted buildings while wearing an ankle monitor and conducting regular check-ins with ICE. He applied for asylum, withdrew and then was unable to reopen his case, according to his family and records. Then he applied for temporary protected status.
He had not yet received an answer when he checked in with ICE in Tampa in October. He was detained again and signed do ents agreeing to be deported back to Venezuela. His parents expected him home on March 13, but the flight never took off. Bad weather grounded his plane on March 14.
González told his parents U.S. officials had said he’d be in Venezuela the next day.
“He relayed a message to me saying we would see each other soon,” said his mother, Nancy Troconis. “They lied to us.”
At 9 a.m. on March 15, González’s family lost contact with him. They later saw his name on a list of detainees deported to El Salvador.
One of the most painful parts of the experience, González said, was being robbed of his savings. While in U.S. custody, he said, he had hidden $6,400 in cash in his underwear. When he arrived at CECOT, he said, he was ordered to undress and put on the uniform the detainees would wear for the next four months: white sandals, socks and white boxers. He stripped, he said, and never saw the money again.
tl;dr
Trump outsourced the torture of totally innocent people
ICE detention camps aren't much better, tbh
but that's been true for awhile
crossing a border without do entation is a civil violation, not a criminal one
https://www.wlrn.org/immigration/202...ee-punishmentsBut WLRN has learned that detainees are also now alleging controversial punishments they receive — including, as one charges, being made to stand in the sun for hours on end for arguing with guards.
“They chained me to the ground," a Nicaraguan migrant seeking U.S. asylum told WLRN in a phone call from inside Alligator Alcatraz.
"I was in the sun, like, from one o’clock to seven o’clock in the evening — without no water.”
The Nicaraguan man, who is Black and asked WLRN not to use his name for fear of government retaliation, claims that over the weekend he had an argument about new detainee clothing rules with a guard who he says called him the n-word.
He says his hands and feet were then painfully shackled, and he was put in a four-by-four-foot square in the recreation yard that he says guards call "the box.” He says he was directly in the Everglades sun and heat, for several hours, with no water.
“I did nothing violent," he said. "I don’t deserve this, nobody deserves this, ‘cause this is unhuman, on top of all the other things here, like the lights being on all night while we're trying to sleep."
"They treat us like real criminals, like murderers — we’re just immigrants,” he said.
The 21-year-old came to the U.S. in 2023, he says, as a student protester escaping Nicaragua’s brutal dictatorship. After applying for asylum at the southern border, he was released into the U.S. and joined relatives in South Florida.
He was later arrested in Broward County, charged with improper exhibition of a firearm. But, according to court records, he was acquitted and has no criminal convictions.
Despite his pending asylum application, federal immigration agents detained him last month in Fort Lauderdale. He was one of the first people sent to Alligator Alcatraz — and he claims other detainees there have also been punished in the so-called “box.”
"A little friend that I got in the same [caged cell] that I'm in — he's from Honduras — complained about what they were doing to me," he says, "so they did the same thing to him."
Republican Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez of Miami recently told Local10 News to remember that Alligator Alcatraz is, after all, a prison.
“I went and saw this place in person," Perez told Local10's This Week in South Florida
"Um, look, it’s no five-star resort, but ... we’re holding criminals in these locations.”
That was originally the pitch about Alligator Alcatraz — that its severe set-up was meant exclusively for criminal undo ented migrants.
But analyses by the Miami Herald and other media show that hundreds of detainees — like the Nicaraguan migrant who alleges the “box” punishment — do not have criminal records.
...
And new nationwide polls released this week show growing disapproval of Trump's sweeping migrant deportation program — especially the burgeoning arrests of non-criminal undo ented migrants, many of whom have lived productively in the U.S. for years and fill jobs most Americans won't take, in contradiction to his pledge to focus on criminals.

racial profiling seems to be SOP
Trump's immigration sweeps are basically state terrorism, it's no accident that US citizens keep getting rolled up
https://abc7.com/post/us-citizen-det...tore/17238509/"Upon arrival, officers confirmed that the individuals involved were federal agents acting in an official capacity as they attempted to apprehend a wanted individual," the police department said in a social media post. "This represented the entirety of our department's role in the situation."
Nearby doorbell video shows Angel Pina running away, approaching a passing SUV looking for help, but the agents wound up violently taking him into custody.
"They were shoving my head against the ground, elbowed me and they used, forcefully, a baton to really pierce my side," Pina told Eyewitness News.
Pina says he tried explaining to the agents that he is American, but they ignored him.
"I told them where I was born, I had an ID, I had a social, I had a birth certificate," he said. "None of the ICE agents that were on scene, they didn't' care about none of that."
He was released when a supervisor showed up.
Pina's family said he's in the hospital after he passed out twice and couldn't stop vomiting. They believe he was given a concussion by the agents as they placed him under arrest.
We are rejecting & deporting.

Vermont school intendant Wilmer Chavarria, a naturalized US citizen since 2018, was detained, questioned and told he had no rights at Bush Airport in Houston. CBP never gave a reason for detaining Chavarria and revoked his Global Entry likewise for no stated reason
Guess he looked too much like an "illegal"
htps://www.wmtw.com/article/winooski-vermont-schools-superintendent-detained/65486891WPTZ anchor/reporter Anna Guber spoke with Chavarria on Wednesday about his experience Monday night at the Houston Port of Entry at the George Bush Airport.
“You feel like you’ve been abducted by a gang of aggressive, violent people who are trying to manipulate you and who are lying to you. And while you are being abducted, you know that these people are capable of doing anything to you because they don’t care," Chavarria said.
Moments after being brought into CBP, Chavarria said he was met by an unidentified woman calling him into another room.
“I asked whether I was being detained, and she said 'You’re not being detained,'" Chavarria said. "I said, 'Then can I go?' And she said, 'No, you may not go.'"
Chavarria's husband, Cyrus Dundgeon, said he was forced to wait on another level of the airport, and that he was met with hostility while desperately searching for answers about his husband's status.
“I essentially waited for four and a half, five hours until Wilmer was released," Dundgeon said. "All that time, I have no idea what’s going on. Am I going to see him again? Is he gonna be taken somewhere?"
In the hours before he was released, Chavarria said he was told he had no rights while being threatened and questioned by at least five interrogators.
"When four of them were in front of me, standing while they had me sitting down, they said that I do not have rights, that my cons utional rights don't matter at a port of entry and that I should stop talking about rights," Chavarria said.
When Chavarria asked to make a phone call, he was told "'No, we're not going to do that, give us a phone number,'" he said. "I said let me access my phone so I can give you a phone number, and they said 'No, just tell us. Why won't you tell us?' But, like, people don't just memorize their contact list."
During the interrogation, Chavarria said the unidentified individuals attempted to threaten and manipulate him into giving them access to his professional devices, containing information about students in the Winooski School District.
“I was threatened with being referred to the FBI. The FBI was mentioned multiple times," Chavarria said. "They also threatened to stain my record so I would never get a job again. They also threatened with an extended detention if I didn’t give them the passwords to the student information or to my district files."
Chavarria said when he was released, a plainclothes officer "shook [his] hand and said that he admired [Chavarria's] resilience and the fact that [he] was protecting student information." Chavarria said he felt dehumanized by the comment.
Despite making it back to his husband, Chavarria said he's come out the other side a different person than the one who first landed in Houston.
“I just don’t feel safe here," he said. "I feel like I’m being told over and over that this is not my country, that it doesn’t matter that I’m a U.S. citizen, I do not belong here.”
Chavarria said he has still not been given any reason for the interrogation, but he has learned his Global Entry has been revoked.
He said he is working with Vermont's federal delegation to get answers, but shared concerns about pressing too hard out of fear of retaliation.
"I don't want to poke the bear; I do not trust the people in charge right now," Chavarria said. "I don't want to make them any angrier at me, because I fear for the safety of my family. I fear for the safety of everybody around me."
you, this isn't your country
