Judge Boasberg will consider what relief is available to immigrants whisked out of the U.S. in March 2025 without notice or a hearing.

for my latest @us.theguardian.com talked to teens leading and joining anti-ICE walkouts from TX to MD to WI.

one NYC teen: "I feel scared [of ICE] every day... But I’m not going to let that stop me, because bravery is just the positive way to say you’re scared, and I’d rather be brave than scared."
These are the high schoolers taking a stand against ICE: ‘You can’t let despair take over’
Thousands of students across the US have been walking out of their schools to protest ICE in their communities

every single "principled libertarian" put on the red hat in 2016 and i don't think we should let them take it off and pretend like they're real intellectuals again now that he's unpopular

The seething contempt Republicans have for Latino-American culture has been on full display over the last 24 hours.

The Republican Party should stand by their strong English-only position by ending the massive number of political ads they run on Spanish language radio and TV stations every election.

I read a ton of reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, both here and in the bad place.

I watched the show again this morning.

Yes, it was an incredible performance. Joyful, emotional, uplifting.

It was a love letter to humanity…to Puerto Rico…and more.

I have appreciated Amanda’s efforts here so I’m disappointed she’s wrapping things up by spreading misinformation. I can assure you as someone whose neighborhood has been crawling with ICE in recent days that we are not in the “aftermath” of anything.
Actually, one more thing. The story isn’t over. But it’s mostly aftermath stories now. It’s not going to be people who are there to cover as it happens. It’s going to be quieter work that you’ll see in print in 9 months.
