This has been the talk of the removal defense community for days.
Long story short, what the Trump admin is alleging is that a 1996 law made every undocumented immigrant who crossed the border illegally “mandatory detention” and categorically ineligible for bond, no matter how long they lived here.

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

It’s not a crime to be undocumented. Full stop. Trump’s use if an arcane immigration registration provision to criminalize hard working families doesn’t change that.

US citizens, If u find yourself caught up in an ICE raid & agents start asking u questions, the best thing u can do to help ur undocumented coworkers is keep quiet. 1st thing that happens when folks are confronted by ICE is that ppl will self identify as citizens, which signals out those who aren’t.
