Queer, trans, non-binary, etc. Our existence is not up for debate. No time for that crap anyways, too busy trying to build a better world in the face of all odds. Current project: sand in the gears of tyranny. Follow ≠ support.
👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.

I just typoed "kubectl" as "luebctl" and now someone needs to write that tool. Right, I'll just show myself out then, shall I?
3/ Judge Tostrud:
"These witnesses’ accounts and related evidence show these witnesses were detained by DHS officers and questioned about their immigration status based solely on their race or ethnicity."
Note: Many of them U.S. citizens

Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota
Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee):
"Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion."

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Employees at Camp East Montana are being told that the massive detention Center in El Paso is not closing, internal messages obtained by the El Paso Times show.
My story:
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

This case involved extraordinary circumstances. Working on a highly compressed timeline, the district court granted an overbroad, constitutionally suspect injunction. This decision was supported with hundreds of pages of factfinding, cover- ing incidents from over a dozen locations around the North- ern District of Illinois. That decision treated the claims of lead plaintiffs, class members, and non-class members as essen- tially interchangeable—both for Article III standing and for the merits. Yet when this court stayed the district court’s or- der, the plaintiffs quickly and voluntarily withdrew their case. Vacatur is therefore proper to ensure the district court’s injunction order does not affect future litigation, which would present its own facts and legal issues.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals just issued an opinion that officially vacates U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis' preliminary injunction against Operation Midway Blitz tactics and dismisses an appeal.
Along the way, they called Ellis' order "constitutionally suspect."
A reminder that this does not mean DHS will suddenly change policies or actions in the field, same for ICE.
OK, so, I won this stupid auction and in case people find this skeet, 1. It wasn't $5,000 ultimately, it was $3520. I had intended to spend $500 at most. But this turned out to be too good to pass up. Now I'm on the hook. I can cover it but it's going to be a bit intense.
Camp East Montana was supposed to be the Trump administration's model for a new breed of large-scale, makeshift immigrant detention centers. Eight tumultuous months, 60 violations and three deaths later, ICE is preparing to close it. New from me: t.co/jOIIRAMJCo

BREAKING: Judge Cobb finds that Sec. Noem's second and third efforts to restrict congressional oversight access to federal immigration facilities still likely violate Sec. 527, issues an order blocking both during litigation.
The first casualty of war, etc. Not to make light of anything at all, just that we need double and triple verification of everything announced by any one party. Everything.
That's from a filing yesterday in the JGG case before Judge Boasberg.

Plaintiffs continue their outreach and report here on “the number of Plaintiffs who wish to travel independently to a U.S. port of entry or who wish to be flown from a third country to the United States for their court proceedings, understanding that in both scenarios they will be detained upon arrival.” ECF No. 247 at 7. There are nineteen (19) such Plaintiffs as of the date of this filing. Further details are submitted separately under seal, as ordered by the Court.
Incredible.
19 of the 137 Venezuelans whom Trump sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act, & who were swapped back to VZ & then escaped to 3d countries, seek to come back to the US to contest their Tren de Aragua designation—knowing they'll be detained (& God knows what else) by the Trump Admin.
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Can you give me a reason to accept it, though? That's what I'm struggling and waiting for. What's the reason to accept the notion that Congress can hand off the power to declare war to the President? GENERAL SAUER: Well, we don't contend that. Again, that would be -- JUSTICE GORSUCH: Well, you do. You say it's unreviewable, that there's no manageable standard, nothing to be done. And now you're -- I think you -- tell me if I'm wrong. You've backed off that position. GENERAL SAUER: Maybe that's fair to say.
JUSTICE GORSUCH: You're saying there's inherent authority in foreign affairs, all foreign affairs, so regulate commerce, duties and -- and -- and -- and tariffs and war. It's inherent authority all the way down, you say. Fine. Congress decides tomorrow, well, we're tired of this legislating business. We're just going to hand it all off to the President. What would stop Congress from doing that? GENERAL SAUER: That would be different than a situation where there are metes and bounds, so to speak. It would be a wholesale abdication.
From tariff arguments
GORSUCH: What's the reason to accept the notion that Congress can hand off the power to declare war to the President?
SAUER: Well, we don't contend that.
What if Congress decides it's "tired of this legislating business"?
That'd be a "wholesale abdication," Sauer ntoes
A white alpaca standing in a fenced enclosure munches on grass pulled up from the ground. Its eyes are barely visible under all that fur.
Donating to the pile.
The judges in WV have seen enough.
They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.
