So the ball again is in Trump’s and ICE's court. Will they once again disobey a court order?

CynDee 🏳️‍🌈 🇮🇱🇺🇦 ally 💙 @cyndeeees.bsky.social · 18h

BREAKING: A federal judge found ICE violated a consent decree prohibiting ICE from arresting people without warrants or probable cause in Illinois and five other states. The court extended the decree until February 2, 2026, giving a tool to fight against ICE’s abuses of warrantless arrests.

The study showed Emergency payments for undocumented amounted to about 0.4% of Medicaid (about $10pp), and eliminating this would save very little while causing unnecessary pain.
