So the confrontations, violent apprehensions, and general fear bearing down on communities like Minnesota is only the beginning of the nightmare. Behind the scenes, Orwellian anti-judicial antics thwart lawful recourse. And hidden from sight, non-citizens are tortured for being noncitizens.

So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?
It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

Trump’s DHS says everyone who is not a citizen or LPR is “arriving”… even if they arrived two or three decades ago.
You don’t have to be a lawyer to know that makes no sense. But lawyers interpret statutes according to a hierarchy of agreed-upon “canons of construction.”

This was the deadliest two-day massacre in Iranian history, and likely in modern history as well.
But sure, congrats.
