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.

Like grant it or deny it, whatever, it's just people's whole lives, but don't pretend like we didn't all see your bosses backpedal that email as "an inartful and non-binding expression of opinion" or whatever when it came time to actually defend it in front of a real judge.

Today's hearing, which @jonseidel.bsky.social has been livetweeting, is in a lawsuit about conditions inside Broadview. One man held for 3 days broke into tears as he testified to the awful conditions.

Multiple sworn declarations says ICE uses the threat of longer stays to get deportation orders. 🧵

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.

Obviously more bullshit w/transparency of proceedings (see also: press bars supposedly due to DOJ Comma furloughs).

But also galling also b/c heard IJs been told to disconnect even family, which depending on facility can maybe be the first time they get see detained respondents in...weeks? Months?

@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social always seems busy so not sure how long the interview has been in the pipeline, but re: @mattcameron.bsky.social's aside on Webex EOIR observation, flagging their updated "fact sheet" purporting to limit the IJ links to parties only:

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.
