Really gross to see how the Trump administration's only civil rights lawsuits are twisted and false cases claiming "reverse racism." Looking forward to seeing them lose again.

NEW! Our incredible legal team at @immcouncil.org just secured a victory in federal court, reinforcing a ruling blocking blocking ICE from taking unaccompanied children into ICE detention on their 18th birthday, and re-detaining previously-released teenagers. Proud to work with such awesome lawyers!
BREAKING: A federal court in D.C. has blocked ICE’s unlawful policy of automatically detaining unaccompanied immigrant teens once they turn 18 – and from re-detaining those teens for no reason.
This ruling means youth can stay in safe, supportive settings – not adult jails.

The situation in Odesa remains critical following a massive Russian strike. Power, water, and heating have yet to be restored, and it’s unclear when services will resume. Over 400 resilience centers and numerous water distribution points are operating across the city.
