1/We are one year into the second Trump administration. Three to go.
To mark the occasion, I took a look back at what I was thinking and writing about a year ago. The most surprising takeaway is how predictable this last year we have lived through was from the outset.

Congress ordered CBP to create a biometric entry/exit system 25 years ago. The problem was that the tech wasn't there until recently, and the agency never pushed hard for it. In late 2020, CBP proposed a rule to implement it. That rule sat until 2025, when the Trump admin finalized it December 26.
It appears the jetway photos at Logan were part of CBP "biometric exit" program, which has been tested for years but was quietly approved for wider rollout in Sept. (Doesn't explain threats to passenger)

Worth emphasizing that DHS is juicing the numbers on this one; dozens of names on the list involve people whose most serious crime are nonviolent misdemeanors or immigration felonies, like illegal reentry, DUIs, "drug possession," and even for one person, "violation of a court order."

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
