The only other time an immigration judge is known to have terminated deportation proceedings brought under the incredibly unusual INA 237(a)(4)(C)(i) grounds was in the only published case on this which reversed that decision. Big win for Ozturk, big fight ahead
NEW: An immigration court has terminated removal proceedings against Tufts doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk, finding that DHS did not meet its burden of establishing that she was removable, her lawyers tell the Second Circuit. live-awp-vermont.pantheonsite.io/app/uploads/...

They forgot the part where the 'incumbent GOP majority' have no role in seating the next house, and this type of 'plan' would result in vacant seats in more than just the House.

Lol that you think local law enforcement will say fuck off when their unions are pro-MAGA and already won't enforce court orders and law in ICE rulings.

Correct. Also: which precincts in which municipalities of which states? What military units are you sending to each location? How many soldiers? What do they do when local law enforcement says "LOL fuck off" or the doors get locked to the vote counting rooms?

Ordering the military to seize ballots kind of seems like the sort of thing where seizing the ballots would not be the biggest issue.

He keeps saying China will kill hockey in Canada, & I cannot figure out where the hell he got that batshit idea. (I’m sure it’s from some right-wing online thing that’s been twisted into this nuttery.)
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

It is perhaps a good time to check if your university, city, retirement account, etc hold CoreCivic stock, and if they do, make your feelings about that known
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

ICE needs a military-sized budget because it is at war with the United States.
ICE’s pending $30 billion budget exceeds the military spending of nearly every country, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Iran.
ICE + CBP funding for 2026 would total $66 billion, higher than all but 7 militaries worldwide.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.
Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

I'm sorry did you say Abolish ICE? We heard Reward ICE, our mistake
The @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social plan not only does not abolish ICE but gives them $11 billion more on top of barely there and easily ignored "reforms".
Gentlemen, this is not what your party wants. 4 in 5 Democrats support abolishing ICE altogether.
What is wrong with you?
