The surge in anti-immigrant sentiment in Japan has led to increasing online attacks against award-winning author Yu Miri (TOKYO UENO STATION). Attackers tell her not to write in Japanese and "go home."
Yu is Zainichi Korean, born in Japan. Japanese is her native language.

Looked out my porch and there were 3 young deer in my yard feeding on my mulberry tree. Haven't had deer in the yard, or even the neighborhood, for probably 30 yrs, back when I was a kid.
Really cool!

Important and timely: this piece isn't just about Portugal, it's about how media commercialization globally enables far-right normalization. Like housing and the environment, market interests seem to erode liberal democracy. #Portugal #FarRight #Media

The feds are asking judges in migrant cases to dismiss the case, which makes them undocumented — then ICE takes them into custody as part of an expedited removal of undocumented immigrants.

Reminder: they said they would deport murderers and rapists. But there actually aren't many of them at all, so they are going after anyone they can grab.
ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

NEW: @nbcnews.com reports that an immigration judge dismissed the asylum case of Andry Hernandez, the innocent man currently imprisoned without trial in El Salvador pursuant to a deal between the Trump admin and Nayib Bukele. His lawyers argue that this is an attempt to "complete the disappearance."
Immigration courts are dismissing cases of those sent to El Salvador, potentially cutting off their return
An immigration judge in San Diego dismissed the asylum claim of a gay makeup artist from Venezuela — one of at least 14 such dismissals to take place in recent weeks.

While the Myanmar case involved a Chinese crime group, Japanese criminals have also gotten into the act. The Luffy crime group, which operated out of the Philippines, is the most notorious example.

No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America.
