Queer, trans, non-binary, etc. Our existence is not up for debate. No time for that crap anyways, too busy trying to build a better world in the face of all odds. Current project: sand in the gears of tyranny. Follow ≠ support.

My first read of this case is that it's a COMPLEX decision.
Bad stuff:
- Order releasing 442 people is blocked.
- Limits courts ability to block illegal ICE conduct.
Good stuff:
- Consent decree survives and individual releases can be sought
- Government loses a big mandatory detention argument

Exclusive: DHS signed a contract worth nearly $140 million to purchase six Boeing 737 planes for deportations.
ICE has long relied on charter planes to carry out deportation flights, but the agency has broader plans, two officials said.

I do not understand what the US government (military at least) is doing. Except that people seem to be trying to start a war with Venezuela. And I don't understand why they are doing that either, or on what authority; I suppose we will find out that this too was at the whim of the commander in chief

Great thread on the petty and stupid cruelty of the Trump admin, which makes their own lives more difficult for no reasons other than to hit vague goals of putting people into removal proceedings.
1/ One thing that I think is getting understandably overlooked in the coverage of immigration overenforcement is just how wasteful and inefficient ICE is being even when they aren't kidnapping and caging people who should be with their families.
Here's a quick example from my casefiles today:

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site.
By that I mean BAD PR.
I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.

Hi from Rümeysa Öztürk's hearing before Chief Judge Casper in federal court.
This is solely scoped to whether her SEVIS record should be restored, i.e. whether she can work and be a student.
