It's a Catch-22 at immigration courts across the country. “If they don’t show up, they’ll be deported. If they do show up, ICE is going to take them away,” says @deanobeidallah.bsky.social.
@bradlander.bsky.social says, “They are abiding by the law, and it’s our government that’s breaking it.”

Brad Lander: ‘Keep bearing witness, keep putting our bodies on the line’ to fight ICE arrests
The Department of Homeland Security has carried out a wave of courthouse arrests in recent months – targeting migrants attending legally mandated hearings, a key step in the process of becoming documented U.S. citizens. “They are abiding by the law, and it’s our government that’s breaking it,” said New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who has been accompanying immigrants to court. Dean Obeidallah echoed that concern. “If they don’t show up, they’ll get an order of deportation,” he said. “If they do show up, ICE is going to take them away.”

New — The court has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the removal of Mohsen Mahdawi from the US or Vermont.
The Trump-Vance administration ignored such an order previously, when it moved Rumeysa Ozturk out of Massachusetts to Louisiana.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York.
But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

It’s so important that this story is being told - a truly terrible thing happened to Becky and people need to know. It’s also important to emphasise that every person who ended up at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, or crossing the Darien Gap, or in a detention centre is somebody’s Becky.

- German tourist Jessica Brösche spent more than a month in detention, including eight days in solitary confinement, suffering one of the worst human rights violations

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre
Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

Don't rank corrupt Eric Adams or sexual predator Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor but, IMPORTANTLY, fill all 5 slots with other, better candidates. Don't let them slip in. Don't give up your say by leaving some rankings empty.
Good morning. Monday morning. In a rank choice voting system you need to rank five good apples for mayor in addition to NOT ranking Cuomo and NOT ranking Adams.

Killing Social Security without actually killing it. This is what a vote for Trump was actually for.
The Social Security Administration is rushing cuts to phone services at the Trump White House's request.
These changes will strain the already struggling Social Security system and could even deprive some people of benefits entirely.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
