The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

The NYTimes ed. board misses a major factor driving Trump's reluctance to implement a law that effectively forces ByteDance divestiture of ownership:
He has yet to line up a new owner who's reliably in the president's back pocket — who can be counted on to amplify pro-Trump propaganda.

SJR 87 would automatically jail Texans before trial based on certain past convictions or charges — without a judge’s approval or weighing the facts.
This is how innocent people get locked up.

Every immigration lawyer out there reading this paragraph is laughing out loud right now. As if when ICE shoves someone in a room and says “you’re going here, sign this or release,” the person is going to say “we’ll pardon me, I’d like to seek protection against torture now please.”
