"They're profiling immigrants across the country, picking up people because of the language they speak or the street corner that they hang out on."

Judge Howell's decision begins by clarifying a piece of constant misinformation coming out of the Trump admin: "[V]iewing all immigrants potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong."
![Consequently, viewing all immigrants
potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong. Second, immigration
policy is indisputably important and “can affect trade, investment, tourism, and diplomatic
relations for the entire Nation, as well as the perceptions and expectations of aliens in this country
who seek the full protection of its laws.” Arizona, 567 U.S. at 395 (citing
Harisiades v. Shaughnessy, 342 U.S. 580, 588-589 (1952)). Treating all immigrants potentially
subject to removal as if they were criminals highlights the Supreme Court’s wise caution that
“[p]erceived mistreatment of aliens in the United States may lead to harmful reciprocal treatment
of American citizens abroad.” Id.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreide72g5jbeaiorowmo2bvwqusjnrzzzybgfdbpn4hem3ad3xzcnoi@jpeg)

Breaking news: Federal vaccine advisers selected by Health Secretary RFK Jr. are planning to vote on ending the practice of vaccinating all newborns for hepatitis B and to examine whether shots are behind the rise of allergies and autoimmune disorders.
RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisers plan biggest change yet to childhood schedule
The new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said the panel plans to vote to end universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth and to scrutinize if childhood shots cause allergies.

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation.

Not that I believe really anything Nuzzi writes, given her record, but the far bigger scandal here is her claim that RFK Jr. was still actively using psychedelics last year, then became HHS secretary in an admin that is killing people for smuggling recreational drugs.
