Matter of Jonathan Javier YAJURE HURTADO, Respondent Decided September 5, 2025 U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review Board of Immigration Appeals Based on the plain language of section 235(b)(2)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) (2018), Immigration Judges lack authority to hear bond requests or to grant bond to aliens who are present in the United States without admission.

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

7. At all of the shelters visited in the middle of the night, ProBAR staff witnessed children who had been pulled out of their beds. They were confused and scared. At Hands of Healing Los Fresnos, one young girl was extremely distraught, crying and repeatedly saying that she could not go back to Guatemala. At New Hope McAllen, one young girl was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician. At Urban Strategies Alamo, one young teenager was scared that he might end up murdered like one of his family members. At Compass Connection in Harlingen, an attorney was able to meet with only one child. None of these children’s parents in their home country had requested their return. ProBAR’s client and named Plaintiff ARMD was at Compass Connection, but he was transported to a plane without notifying me as his attorney of record.

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation.

Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

If not morally shocked, are you not at least insulted?
Israel bombs a hospital. Kills several people, including a journalist.
Rescuers & journalists rush to the scene. And then Israel bombs them. On live TV.
And then Israel tells you they never target civilians, and were just trying to hit a camera.

Inside the Burlington office ICE has used to detain immigrants As immigration arrests surged this summer, ICE held detainees for extended periods of time in its field office in Burlington, Mass. Two women who spent more than a week inside discuss the "horrible" c...

In Massachusetts, ICE detained people for up to 9 days in holding cells in an office building with no kitchen, no showers, no access to medicine, no place to sleep.

When the office opened, ICE said, "Obviously we'll never detain people here overnight..."

ICE Lawyers Are Hiding Their Names in Immigration Court ICE attorneys fighting to deport immigrants are able to obscure their identities — no masks required.

Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.

“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

Re: Important Update Regarding Our OVW Grants April 14, 2025 Dear Registrant, We are writing to inform you that, effective immediately, all of our grants with the Office on Violence Against Women have been terminated. The Department of Justice has concluded that these grants "no longer effectuate the agency priorities." As we consider our next steps, we must pause all work related to these grants. Unfortunately, this means that we have to cancel our upcoming trainings. We are incredibly grateful for your commitment to advancing safety, justice, and dignity for survivors and interest in further developing your skills in this field. With deep appreciation and continued solidarity,

New— Trump's crusade against the American Bar Association continues, this time terminating all grants via DOJ's Office of Violence Against Women.

This morning a webinar on trauma-informed representation was canceled moments before starting. ABA sent email attachment to participants (shared w/ me):

it comes to mind that wearing coordinated tshirts is quite literally a bare bones entry level tactic in union organizing, and the fact they can’t even reliably pull this off says a lot about the internal state of the caucus.

This is a thread about a political influence project you’ve never heard of.

It involves the man second in line for the presidency and an evangelical pastor who’s quietly forged close relationships with some of the most powerful men in the country.

NEW: a federal judge sided with the Quaker religious groups, temporarily blocking Trump's ICE from immigration raids in places of worship, protecting 1,700 places of worship in 35 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant.

For some Latinos, ‘prosperity gospel’ led them to Trump The set of beliefs has overtaken traditional theologies centered on the poor. Some experts say that helps explain a shift among Latino Christians to Trump.

once again, republican inroads with latinos are downstream religious transformations among latino voters www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

Vincent D'Onofrio & @vincentdonofrio Pigs can't look up. But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.l want 2b treated that kindly and see the stars for the first time.

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time
