💯 We need to start planning for it. Plans have to be comprehensive and cover all the loop holes. Name it Project 29, hinting towards drafting constitutional amendments needed for reform. (There are currently 27 amendments, with a 28th being contested).

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

I consumed brain surgery when I was 20. My mom’s insurance company hit us with rescission (a practice finally outlawed decades later with the ACA) and for the next few years credit agencies hounded me.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

This Day in Labor History: December 10, 1976. Undocumented workers in Chicago leather plants voted to unionize, leading to battle for them to have access to U.S. labor rights. The employer had them deported, but they sued and the Supreme Court ruled in workers favor in 1984!!! Wouldn't happen today!
