Two more good and decent immigration judges fired today from the NYC immigration court. I guess the plan is to pack the court with " judges" who will follow orders and not the law
Very depressing

The Trump administration has made me a flagrant moralist in a way that has led me to tossing aside years of snark, and you know, I'm good with that. It's time to talk about what being a good person means; about why it's good to signal virtue, why it's good to press for values, not spectacle.
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Anyone can give a gift link to the story in Sunday's New York Newsday about the arrests by ICE at the Beth page asylum office? It's another trap for unsuspecting immigrants who just want to have their cases heard.

I had on my bingo card that Trump would act like someone who has never read the Constitution or any court decisions interpreting it.
I did not have SCOTUS though.

So DHS just delegated law enforcement capabilities to USCIS. USCIS is the part of the immigration system that processes family petitions and naturalization applications. Now authorized to detain immigrants and issue expedited removal orders. Who will they deputize next?

🚨 Urge your senators to VOTE NO on the Laken Riley Act (HR 29), an anti-immigrant bill. If enacted, it would mean even a simple arrest *without any further prosecution* could lead to the indefinite incarceration of noncitizens, including undocumented people & DACA recipients. TAKE QUICK ACTION NOW:
