This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

These numbers for ice are insane
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Trump outright says he's open to imprisoning US citizens in El Salvador's prison complex:
"Yeah, that includes them. Why do you think there‘s a special category of person? They‘re as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones, too. And I‘m all for it."

Here's an intriguing fine detail: @premthakker.bsky.social reports that university officials have discovered that the Trump administration has been revoking not only visas but also the student "status" (based on, e.g., maintaining required course load) that universities usually control
SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.
It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

Trump is now directing federal law enforcement officials to seek sanctions against attorneys or law firms that challenge his actions in court.
The admin currently faces more than 130 lawsuits.
The move is the latest action that aims to punish judges and lawyers taking positions against Trump.
