Senate may add $70B thru 2029 to immigration enforcement atop last year’s $170B. It’s not just filling budget gaps: ICE/CBP could spend it immediately, with no time limits, oversight/reporting requirements or new guardrails on agents’ conduct. In total, ICE would get 11x its 2025 budget Read more 👇

I asked DHS if they plan to recant labeling Martinez a domestic terrorist (despite the dismissal of her case), or offer her an apology, in light of Judge Alexakis' ruling today. I received this response: “DHS stands by our press releases and statements. The facts of what happened did not change.”

Update: Since Jan 9, there have been 12 ICE Air flights out of Minneapolis, MN—a jump from the typical 3 flights/week to Minneapolis. This surge is taking place as people with valid refugee status are being taken from their homes in MN & transferred to detention centers in TX.

U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. … "It has really become a prison."

The Supreme Court just cleared the way for racial profiling during immigration raids and sweeps. This means the Trump administration could rapidly expand its plans for law enforcement to harass people based on their skin color, the neighborhood they live in, or the language they speak.

🚨 SCOTUS just greenlit racial profiling in immigration arrests. No majority opinion—but the impact is clear: immigrants and U.S. citizens of color are at risk. Kavanaugh’s concurrence ignores the evidence & tramples the 4th Amendment’s requirement of individualized suspicion:

Immigrant youth fought to win DACA. For years, we fought to keep the DACA program open and came together to defend DACA recipients from attacks. As these kidnappings continue to increase, we must remember that when we come together, we win!

Constitutional rights are use-it-or-lose-it. Every person who refuses unlawful questioning forces agents to either respect legal boundaries or reveal they're ignoring them. Your citizenship doesn't obligate you to make ICE's job easier—it obligates you to make them do it legally.

If you have US citizenship, do not help ICE by telling ICE about your citizenship. Just refuse to talk to them. Refuse to answer their questions. Turn on your phone and run away from them. If they're wasting their time profiling you, you're saving the lives of people who ICE really wants to profile.

Great blog by @naynagupta.bsky.social discussing the lack of standards in assessing gang affiliations and the near total inability to contest them in the immigration system. This has allowed the Trump admin to transfer 238 Venezuelans to a Salvadoran prison by presenting almost no evidence.

Trump’s DOJ knows it can’t win the birthright citizenship cases on the merits, so it’s trying to use a procedural issue (that #SCOTUS has repeatedly dodged) to put the policy into effect across much of the country. Today’s “One First” looks at the cynical ploy: www.stevevladeck.com/p/133-birthr...

133. Birthright Citizenship (Sort of) Reaches the Court
The Trump administration's emergency applications in three birthright citizenship cases are a cynical effort to mitigate the effects of an inevitable loss on the merits. The justices shouldn't bite.

Today, Congress passed a spending bill that includes even more funding for detention and deportation. Congressional leaders should invest in programs that strengthen communities and support families. Instead, they're spending tax dollars on ICE and family separation. immcouncil.co/4heEHFJ

Nearly 700 communities in 32 states plus Washington, D.C. could be deemed as “sanctuary” under H.R. 32 and would be at risk of losing federal funding for critical programs that serve everyone, including both noncitizens and citizens.
