The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

I just had to call the cops because somebody broke into my car.
Whoever it was didn't steal anything. They just left four tickets to the Melania movie on the driver's seat.
No way that's not a hate crime!

Again, a federal court fails in evaluation of an injunction.
If the injunction is too broad, what is the harm in letting it stand until a more specific one can replace it? Nothing.
Conversely, if the injunction is stayed until it can be made "just right," what is the harm? Death and mayhem.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.
He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.
The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.
ICE reportedly denied the request.
Unimaginable cruelty.
