The Trump administration just fired the immigration judges who ruled against deporting Rümeysa Öztürk (Tufts) and Mohsen Mahdawi (Columbia). I want to be clear about what this actually is and isn't 🧵
"Morales alleges three separate CBP agents said they didn’t believe him when he told them he had a birth certificate, Social Security card and other ways of proving his citizenship. The officers threatened him with a fraud charge & 5 years’ imprisonment if he didn’t sign a voluntary departure order"
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
NEWS: Eric Swalwell suspends his campaign for governor
Wow - and peaceful transition hopefully!
“Trump promises mass pardon to staff before leaving office.
In a recent meeting, the president said he would pardon those within 200 feet of the Oval Office, say people familiar with the remarks.”

We're horrified and outraged by ICE's shooting of Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez. We hope he’ll make a full recovery and are keeping his family in our thoughts.
AG @robbonta.bsky.social MUST investigate the Turlock PD's possible collusion with ICE - AND the shooting itself.
Our full statement ⬇️
The next administration must take the lesson of this one; every single immigration judge hired under Trump 2.0 must be fired on day one.
🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody.
@kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.
Your reminder that even if the war truly ended tonight, and Iran let every tanker sail through the Strait tomorrow, oil does not teleport, wells have been shut down and will take weeks or months to reopen, storage facilities have been destroyed, and refining capacity has been significantly damaged.
Definitely another #TACO, which in this case is a good thing since we aren't committing war crimes.
Another #TACO - thank goodness...
New ICE arrest data just dropped via the Deportation Data Project's FOIA lawsuit. I spent hours validating it so you don't have to. Here's what the numbers actually show. 🧵
DHS pauses new immigrant warehouse purchases as all Noem-era contracts are reviewed @urbanviewradio.bsky.social www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
There was a point SG said that domicile is another way to confirm allegiance and that status is shortcut to determine domicile right? Basically two sets of assumptions to assert why status should be a determining factor to citizenship?
Habeas petitions: one of the most powerful tools to challenge unlawful detention, and too many people don’t know their rights. @aila.org Flyer now available: Habeas Petitions—What You Need to Know. @urbanviewradio.bsky.social
Ironically our invasion of Iran should reinforce why we need to maintain and expand investment in renewables, but that will never get through his thick skull.
Which means he'll probably switch parties when it is election time.
Additionally, immigration agents need to be reined in. What the White House has offered so far has already been what should be considered standard practices for law enforcement. The GOP is not negotiating in good faith.
This is why there is push back. It is idiotic to ignore that the GOP is trying to cram *more* money into immigration enforcement. There were already proposals to fund every other part of DHS and excluding ICE and CBP.

Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world.
State Department issues "Worldwide Caution" memo to all Americans abroad as a result of Trump's war
Find a crime. Blame an immigrant. Make people deportable. Deny basic due process. Rinse and repeat.
That is Republicans' favorite type of bill.
This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame.
13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.
Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."
Raiders star Maxx Crosby, now back from Baltimore with the trade to the Ravens off, is headed back into the building in Las Vegas, ready to resume his training and rehab program.
His mindset: Crosby is ready to play football for the Raiders and move forward.
This alert put out by Kash Patel has got to be one of the most irresponsible actions I've seen.
"Allegedly", "unidentified vessel", "unspecified targets"...and then no additional information.
wtf are we supposed to do with this info? Patrol the beaches to shoot down Iranian drones?
Omg what a legend. I love his intros!
I dont think I've ever gotten so many Breaking News alerts about free agent signings before, but the one I'm happiest about is LINDEBAUM! WELCOME TO THE RAIDERS
