Exclusive: ICE has developed a plan to arrest undocumented migrants who try to voluntarily leave the U.S. via the Mexico border, so they can face formal removal.
Why bother? Possibly to juice deportation numbers.
It's being referred to as "Operation Irish Goodbye."

Later: The reindeer were smuggling drugs so we shot them all down. No survivors. Be best.
Melania Trump: "Santa's reindeer -- Rudolph, Dasher, Comet, all of them -- they're resting in the North Pole. They need to save all of their energy for their great flight around the world on Christmas Eve. Santa told me they're snuggling beneath warm, fluffy blankets."

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.
Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.

I'll be blunt; if we're wrong and they overturn birthright citizenship then my biggest fear is that we're on the path to a new civil war. After all, that's what happened with Dred Scott 1.0, and this would be Dred Scott 2.0.
I don’t necessarily disagree with this prediction, but I do think it would be helpful for people if litigators and legal scholars wrote about what happens if they’re wrong and the court does rule in the administration’s favor
To give some sense of why I am so confident about this, I have talked to MANY other litigators on these issues, some of the top people in the country, and my views are almost universally held. The broad consensus among pretty much everyone I know is that the Court will rule against him on this.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Also, to be clear, when a trans instructor at OU is being punished and targeted for quite fairly grading a terrible essay, it’s bizarre to see academics online debating the rubrics.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.
