Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Seeing a lot of folks who either don’t know what the usual numbers look like or who didn’t go look at the demographics and methodology and are treating this as a _meh_ data point when anything close to this would be earth-shaking.

Two things are true:
1. Immigration judges are not, well, judges. they are members of the executive branch. you do not receive the kind of process you associate with courts from them.
2. This framing will encourage ppl to apply who will make things worse.

DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”
That’s seems really bad.

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”
