ICE operations at immigration courts intensified today. Brief 🧵on what's happening:
- A person facing removal shows up for a hearing.
- At the hearing, ICE unexpectedly asks the immigration judge to dismiss the case without prejudice.
- If the judge says yes, the hearing ends, court is over.

Another report, this one out of Arizona, of people showing up for scheduled immigration court hearings and being detained by federal agents.
They've abandoned any pretense of going after the criminal element first. Now everyone is fair game.

They showed up to immigration court in Phoenix. Then ICE agents surrounded them
"I've never seen action like today ever,” attorney Eugene Delgado said. “This hasn't been the normal practice in Phoenix at all.”

There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind.
The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages.
Learn about an excellent study from the Ludwig Institute.

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.
When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”
That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.
