The true story behind Sherita, a brutal tale of old Brooklyn and a predatory real estate spree. Debbie Nathan and I dug deep to expose the brothers behind it, who hid behind phony last names.

In 2019, Debbie Nathan and I reported on how Trump had nearly completely turned the war on trafficking into a war on immigrants.
Trump Has Turned the War on Trafficking Into a War on Immigrants

Print, take to immigration courts, give to immigrants whom the gmt is tricking into agreeing to terminate their asylum cases...leaving them undocumented and immediately scooped up by ICE outside the courtroom. (With no practicable due process rights anymore.)

These cards really help.

Did you used to be cheered by that SHERITA sign on Atlantic Avenue in Bed-Stuy? You won't feel so cheery after reading how she got there.

A so-called "judge" in Louisiana has just ruled that #MahmoudKhalil is deportable. To understand why, read my 2021 essay about how these bastard institutions "are not really courts. Nor are the judges really judges, as the term is understood in this country."
