"Every disturbing news report about a wrongful deportation or military-style raid of an apartment building should come as a reminder that the US government is using its prosecutorial discretion—it is *choosing*—to normalize casual cruelty and overt racism."
A year of hell for immigrants
In the first Trump administration, cruelty was the point. Now, it is the norm.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.
Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.

And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.
Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.
Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals?
It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.
