ICE deported a U.S. citizen who was born in Maryland and whose lawyer provided a birth certificate for as well as hospital records of her birth, against a judge’s orders forbidding her deportation.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

1. The Trump administration last week made headlines with a new rule banning most gender affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
Now, the ACLU is pledging to sue if the rule goes into effect.

This is incredibly informative, a master class to understand and appreciate how well the Act was written.
A month ago, I did a line by line breakdown of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and why it was written to prevent any shenanigans in the event that Bondi sought to withhold documents damaging Trump.
If you need a refresher this am as we await docs, here it is.

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.
Apparently there are two new anti-trans bills being considered this week in the House. @erininthemorning.com lists Dems who supported anti-trans bills in the past and provides an easy link to locate your Rep so you can ask them to vote against. Tell them not to throw trans children under the bus!
1. Another anti-trans bill has now been added to the congressional calendar this week.
Following MTG's total felony trans youth care ban, Dan Crenshaw's Medicaid trans youth ban will be heard.
Though it is unlikely to get through the Senate, it will be a major posturing vote for congressmembers.

Abolish ICE.
“Guzmán’s daughter was still in the NICU, unable to eat or breathe independently. The doctors had planned a meeting to review the baby’s prognosis and care plans… As Guzmán went to buckle her seatbelt, she looked out the window and noticed they were surrounded.”
Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.
