"Ohio Immigrant Alliance’s 'Worst of the Worst' update – a follow-up to its July report on the criminal behaviors of 59 ICE and CBP agents – has now identified more than 150 abusive agents, the vast majority of whom have been charged with or convicted of sex crimes, including against children."

Can we not waste journalistic resources on Trump's $5000 bribe? We all know it is completely made up, like the AI slop his syphilitic mind spews forth on a daily basis. He is lying, deluded, and wasting all our time. That part is the story, IMHO.

Immigration lawyers have been on the front line subjected to daily assaults yet going to and winning in courts every day. A year ago, Trump’s Board of Immigration Appeals tried to eliminate bond from custody for tens of thousands of immigrants. Today, that policy has been almost uniformly rejected.

NEW FROM ME: The Great Delegalization. There are now (almost certainly far more than) 1M immigrants who were protected from deportation on Jan 20, 2025, and no longer are. It’s the result of a problem that’s been building for 30 years—& now only Congress can fix. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

These Immigrants Lived in the U.S. Legally. Now Trump Is Changing Their Status.
More than a million immigrants are seeing protections that granted them safe lives in the U.S. suddenly swept away.

This is vile. Handing taxpayer money appropriated to care for children at their most vulnerable to your political friends reveals the depth of antipathy you have for immigrant children. Even by the standards of this administration, this is shockingly evil.
