Sworn declarations submitted overnight from #Venezuelans deported by #Trump to #ElSalvador prove innocent & legal #immigrants were sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center forced labor facility.
Here is one from a professional soccer player imprisoned in #CECOT & forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos & a single, innocent hand gesture.

"Anyone who can walk 3 grueling months with a child to escape death and violence and want a better life, can live next to me any damn time."
A federal appeals court on Tues said the #Trump admin did not have to comply for now with a judge’s order to give #DueProcess to scores of #Venezuelan #immigrants who were deported to #ElSalvador under a wartime #law, the #AlienEnemiesAct.
The ruling, by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, came one day before the admin was supposed to outline for a lower-court judge how to allow nearly 140 deported #Venezuelans to challenge their expulsion.

"One of the ppl arrested this week -was arrested coming out of a church service -no criminal record -had a job at a local tire store -an ankle monitor so #ICE knew where he was at all times & still in immigration court.
Does that make us safer?"
-A R Melnick
The Trump admin isn't prioritizing detaining & deporting criminals, many of those they're arresting are undoc. #immigrants w/o criminal records -filling jobs needed for the economy.
Amplify their cruelty & dishonesty.
"On Holocaust Remembrance Day, migrants hide in the attic from Trump raids. ...
The fear is the point, and so, apparently, is the cruelty. ...
The irony of all of this — good people cowering in their attics, praying to avoid getting cuffed and shipped thousands of miles away by camouflage-wearing soldiers — happening on Holocaust Remembrance Day is almost unbearable."

The Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations.
“We don’t have much, but what we do have is important.”
The blitz of Trump's immigration executive orders has continued, so fast and sweeping that it’s been hard to keep up, much less gauge their potential impact.
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune explain the most consequential changes he made on Day 1.

I like this idea.
We spoke to the relatives of three immigrants transferred to Guantanamo, who said they’ve been left in the dark about their loved ones.
“To me it’s the desperation, the frustration that I know nothing of him. It’s a terrible anguish. I don’t sleep.”
ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

Something we shouldn't allow ourselves to forget or unsee as the Roberts Supreme Court invents legal fictions to provide cover for Donald Trump as he rounds up and deports immigrants who are afforded no due process:
The Roberts Supreme Court is controlled by a bloc of right-wing "pro-life" Catholics, Roberts himself included in their number.

Since taking office, #Trump has moved aggressively to revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of #immigrants who were allowed into the country under President #Biden.
Now, the admin is taking drastic steps to pressure some of those immigrants & others who had legal status to “self-deport” by effectively canceling the #SocialSecurity numbers they had lawfully obtained….

Ok now this is absolutely revolting:
A #RealityShow where #immigrants compete for US #citizenship? #DHS is considering it.
DHS is considering taking part in a #RealityTV program that would have immigrants go through a series of challenges to get American citizenship, ofcls said Friday.

"On Thursday morning, a federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump’s effort to quickly deport Venezuelans under a wartime power only previously exercised three times in the nation’s history — most recently during World War II — was illegal."

"Despite whatever is rattling around [Stephen] Miller's febrile cabeza, habeas corpus is not a revocable privilege. It is a right guaranteed to everyone incarcerated. In calling it a 'privilege' that 'could be suspended' to suit the whims of his boss, Miller proves himself to be a traitor not only to the American idea, but also to the freaking Magna Carta (!),"

#Trump already has the weight of the #ExecutiveBranch behind his efforts to strip funding from top #universities, #deport millions of unauthorized #immigrants & pressure #ForeignGovernments to change their economic policies.
With the sprawling bill that passed through the #House on Thurs, #Republicans are also preparing to enlist the #TaxCode as another tool against Trump’s political foes.

The “Invasion” Invention: The Far Right’s Long Legal Battle to Make Immigrants the Enemy
The #Trump administration is using the claim that #immigrants have “invaded” the country to justify possibly suspending habeas corpus, part of the constitutional right to due process.
A faction of the far right has been building this case for years.

Lisa Tate, a Ventura County, California, farmer talks about what's happening on farms in that county, where fruit and vegetables are grown to supply the whole country:
“'In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,' she said in an interview. 'If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day.'"

Morale is plummeting inside the VA as 10s of 1000s of WKRs prepare for deep staffing cuts, raising alarms among staffers, vets & advocates *fear the reductions would severely damage care & benefits for Ms of the US' former service members.
