In Portuguese elections this week, we saw more evidence of the far-right's rise 🇵🇹🗳️

Is the far-right the go-to party for Europe's young men? 🤔

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
04/11/2025
Notice of Termination of Parole
it is time for you to leave the United States.
You are currently here because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) paroled you into the United States for a limited period. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) and 8 C.F.R. § 212.5(e), DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice.
If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States - unless you have otherwise obtained a lawful basis to remain here. Any benefits you receive in the United States connected with your parole - such as work authorization — will also terminate. You will be subject to potential criminal prosecution, civil fines, and penalties, and any other lawful options available to the federal government.
DHS encourages you to leave immediately on your own.
You can use the CBP Home mobile app on your phone to make arrangements for your departure. If you are departing the United States via land, you should report your departure once outside the United States via that same app. If you are having trouble reporting your departure via land, visit https://194.cbp.dhs.gov/home for more information about voluntarily reporting your departure.
Again, DHS is terminating your parole. Do not attempt to remain in the United States - the federal government will find you. Please depart the United States immediately.
I just got this 5 minutes and I'm not even in the United States or have been for months. I'm in Canada and a Canadian resident. I fly to Vegas tomorrow morning for the weekend and a little concerned? Does this look legit

A Trump administration plan to begin targeting undocumented immigrants using IRS data has sparked fear, anger and economic concern in California, where undocumented taxpayers contribute billions in local and state taxes.

A new study led by @mpc-eui.bsky.social shows that EU residents prefer policies that offer irregular migrants pathways to legal status.

The findings provide evidence that well-designed policies toward irregular migrants can gain public approval while upholding fundamental rights.

Many people rightly point to the core role that mainstream right parties play for defending liberal democracy against the far-right threat. However, solely focusing on the centre-right ignores the errors that leftwing parties have committed that have empowered the far right. A few thoughts …

Trump signed a proclamation ordering Bondi to go after immigration lawyers last night. He is alleging that lawyers illegally coach immigrants in asylum cases. Investigations will extend as far back as 8 years ago to the start of his first term.

La islamofobia también es de izquierdas y por eso Vox gana al poner el foco en tu vecino marroquí

Un estudio prueba que la reacción contraria a los musulmanes es transversal por su percepción como una amenaza al colectivo LGTB o las mujeres. Esto explica el debate en la derecha tradicional sobre un acercamiento a posturas más duras en inmigración

What explains asylum recognition rates? Utilizing a German refugee survey and a quasi-natural experiment in Germany, L. Gundacker, Y. Kosyakova, and G. Schneider show how regional political biases can influence an asylum seeker’s chance of obtaining protection.
