I'm curious to hear some constitutional law folks' insight on the constitutionality of the alleged Guantanamo detention center. I have some memory of the Guantanamo line of cases, but interested in hearing from the con law nerds in my feed!

Like many immigration lawyers, I'm tempted to cite chapter and verse on why this is wrong TECHNICALLY. But I need to remind myself to lead with the moral truth that more people already know. Immigrants are our neighbors, our colleagues, our friends and most Americans know that.

Things that are Deportation Theater 🎭 - Statements & images that create an impression of a flurry of activity, without facts - Reporting a typical operation it like it’s new - Using a small number of cases to create an impression about a larger group (usually about criminal records) - Dr Phil

The administration is framing normal ICE operations as part of the "mass deportation." Prepare, educate yourself, but don't fall for it. It is being used to create fear and make us less effective.

Eliminating birthright citizenship would create a permanent underclass and leave children stateless. Birthright citizenship strengthens our nation, not weakens it. Eliminating birthright citizenship would not solve our immigration challenges—it would create a permanent underclass and leave
Graphic Copy: The Constitution is clear: If you're born in the U.S., you're an American citizen. America doesn't have a legal underclass.

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

while you spare them from deportation pay them fair wages, let them unionize, and give them a path to citizenship

US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation
Mass deportations could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.

FYI "Do you think your organization will exist in January?" is not the way to approach me at a community tabling event

I’m sure the DOJ funding for my anti-trafficking org is very safe.

When you realize the only choice you have is to fight, because who you are and what you love will not let you give up or capitulate, that clarity of purpose will melt the fear away.

Reminding myself that many of the Trump administration policies will fail due to incompetence. He values loyalty over qualification and that will cost him.

Lastly, we must keep in mind that the mass deportation agenda - repealing the "invasion" - is about the ethnic cleansing targeted at immigrants, but it is also the pretextual justification for rolling out the authoritarian policies that will further reach implications.

The Trump administration talks a big game about supporting survivors of human trafficking. Trying to find a way to hold them to that. Tough to explain why they want to categorically eliminate T Visas.
