DHS has lied to me often enough in unambiguous ways that I only record their responses for whatever future tribunal follows this insanity.
Update: DHS sent a statement denying that medicine was withheld from Amalia after her return to detention.
But her lawyer says there’s no evidence in Dilley’s records that the girl’s prescription was ever administered, “which is consistent with her parents' accounts.”

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.
“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.
But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

I was just thinking about this. If Bsky is blanket geo-IP banning everyone from Gaza, as proven by this Gazan journalist:
1.) This disproves the theory that these are Cambodian scammers
2.) Bsky knows these accounts are authentically in Gaza - but bans them anyway.
Hm.

this is willful, blatant bigotry. you can't even claim this is in the interest of countering scams, because they're equating being in Gaza with being a spam bot

the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

so many families are in awful positions because ICE’s bullshit has collapsed the already fragile social safety net.
