Each time they are moved, they have to find a new place to sleep in overcrowded rooms, have to learn new rules for phone calls, have to tell family and attorneys to send documents somewhere else. Each time it takes days for the ICE detainee locator “system” to update.

Was reading one of these in FLSD last week, and in an eleven-page opinion the entirety of four pages was just citations of cases since July calling (I assume) bullshit on Hurtado/the preceding policy?

One specific IJ who, every single time when presented with a motion to dismiss, takes the time to say "it's my understanding of current case law that when DHS makes a motion like this I'm required to grant it" as if DOJ wasn't forced by litigation to explicitly withdraw exactly those instructions.

A small Journey plane—max 14 seats—departed Phoenix, AZ early this morning and stopped in Puerto Rico (likely for fuel). This could be a potential third-country transfer flight headed towards West Africa.

The officers involved in this detention say they feel like a “newborn giraffe with wobbly legs” when conducting immigration enforcement because their training consists of a “one hour class online”. You can’t make this up.

Why even go through the trouble of all the messaging around #NoKings if they were going to meekly fold with for "a promised vote" from the party of Kings.
If you're going to rely on "strong assurances" from Republicans then you're stupid and weak and you should resign.

There is only one path to getting Democratic assistance with anything: the House reopens, swears in Adelita Grijalva, then passes an acceptable budget.

This is basically what most of the third country deportation agreements are with African countries. Visa shakedowns.

A lot of replies to this along the lines of "ICE won't comply" or "but SCOTUS!" & yeah that's Bsky...

But e.g. of how this actually plays out: was reading one Hurtado challenge in SDFL this morning, and order is available (below), but not the notice: ICE complied. Detainee went before IJ, got bond.
NEW: More than 100 federal judges have now rejected the Trump administration’s new policy to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation — including 12 judges appointed by Trump, according to a POLITICO analysis.

Only 2 judges have sided with ICE.

In this case, people got together and began to pack town meetings to object to 287g agreements, eventually getting a police chief to cancel his. I don't know the groups, but it does show how people can engage in meaningful local activism.

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.
NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Tens of thousands was probably too conservative. More than 3.5 million people currently hold USCIS work permits, and at least 800,000 of those have renewals which have been pending for more than six months.

Other outlets are now reporting. First to report tonight was Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner, whose story if anything missed how big the purge was. It's not just five cities; ICE Field Office Directors are being fired in at least a dozen cities, and will be replaced by CBP people instead.
