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….

#Trump admin overrode #SocialSecurity staff to list immigrants as dead

A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office & put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.

Two days after the SSA purposely & falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, MD, headquarters.

The request to the #Defense Dept came after Trump asked DHS last week to increase its ranks by pulling in 20,000 officers from state or federal agencies.

"Great Replacement Theory, or the idea that White Christians are being outperformed demographically by non-Whites, threatening the survival of the race and 'civilization,' was central to Fascist ideologies and practices and it is central to anti-immigrant and other racist platforms of far-right parties and governments today."

Nice. Sen #SheldonWhitehouse just mentioned that #KilmarAbregoGarcia has an excellent #BivensAction complaint against #Trump et al.

A Bivens action generally refers to a lawsuit for #damages when a federal officer who is acting in the color of federal authority allegedly violates the US #Constitution by federal officers acting.

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More
—
By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained.
What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is how her detention was caught on camera.
What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

The #Trump poster-person for the first Afrikaner #refugees from supposed anti-white racism in #SouthAfrica.
She is not a #refugee by any definition, yet she is being flown here at #taxpayer expense & handed a path to #citizenship while actual refugees are turned away.
Also Trump claims he’s granting "refugee" status to "white farmers”, but this woman lives in Cape Town, isn’t a farmer, & it doesn't seem like she's #Afrikaner since her bio says she was born in Zimbabwe.
Judge #Xinis is NOT happy. #Trump #DOJ privilege log that was due today was not filed. She gave them 30 minutes to file with the note: "Failure to file the privilege log or otherwise respond will be construed as an intentional refusal to comply with this Court's orders."
#KilmarAbregoGarcia's lawyers filed their log under seal.
