“You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’”

It may well be worse now than in the past, but this is extremely typical. I’ve had clients detained by ICE, and it’s like they fall into a black hole. Getting in touch with people in state or federal prison, or even county jail, is easier by an order of magnitude.
They are disappearing people. Listen to this. Nightmare. (And the longer they stay the more money core civic makes)

Great piece that cites the practice advisory and thorough case tracking on this issue being done by my colleagues at @immcouncil.org
There's a lot going on, and immigration law is notoriously labyrinthine. But it's still wild both that (1) the Trump administration is trying to treat millions of non-citizens who have lived here for years/decades as "arriving aliens"; & (2) *hundreds* of courts have (almost unanimously!) said "no":
195. The Immigration Detention Flood
The Trump administration's attempt to quietly—but massively—expand who can be detained pending their removal has been met with overwhelming pushback from a remarkably large number of district courts.

We just got through an election where voters told us they voted on egg prices and thinking Biden was President in 2020 and people are arguing Dems lose because of “Latinx” and let me tell you that’s the most online stupid fucking shit I’ve ever heard in my life.

Lander deserves a ton of respect for his willingness to subordinate his desires to blow up a genuinely evil man's campaign.
Brad Lander has arrived at his election night party. "The ranked choice tabulations will take a few days, but this much is clear: We are sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs," Lander said to applause. "With our help, Zohran Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee"

6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense.
Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

We know of 3 US citizen children deported yesterday, along with their moms who had been living in the US for years. One of the moms was pregnant. One of the kids has a rare form of cancer. One of the kids is just 2 years old. All had caregivers in the US to stay with.
#BREAKING: Yesterday morning, the NOLA ICE Field Office deported at least two families, including two mothers and their minor children – three of whom are U.S. citizen children aged 2, 4, and 7. One of the mothers is currently pregnant.

Over the weekend, Reuters reported on a new ICE initiative aiming to go after unaccompanied migrant children. Given the concerns, I think it's worth breaking down why the Trump admin may be doing this, and in the process shed some light on right-wing conspiracy theory about "missing children."
ICE's Next Deportation Target Is Unaccompanied Migrant Children
The Trump administration sent a memo directing ICE to target migrant children who came to the U.S. without their parents for deportation.

While there are certainly very real issues with trafficking among migrant kids (primarily labor trafficking, as @hannahdreier.bsky.social has documented), the Trump admin's new effort seems aimed primarily at producing deportation orders, not in "protecting" children as they claim.

So that's really the overarching context here; an explosive OIG report that identified genuine failures but whose content was blown massively out of proportion and taken out of context is now the impetus for a new large-scale ICE operation aiming at people who entered the US as unaccompanied kids.
