Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' Emergency Motion for an Order to Return Kilmar
Abrego Garcia to the District of Maryland After Release in The Tennessee Criminal Proceedings.
ECF No. 203. The issues are fully briefed, and, after an evidentiary hearing, the Court GRANTS
the motion. The requested relief is necessary to preserve this Court's jurisdiction and to ensure that Abrego Garcia receives the full injunctive relief previously ordered "to restore the status quo ante," ECF No. 31, and consistent with the United States Supreme Court's mandate that "his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador." Noem v. Abrego
Garcia, 145 S. Ct. 1017, 1018 (2025). By Order of this Court, Defendants (1) are prohibited from taking Abrego Garcia into immediate ICE custody in Tennessee; (2) must restore him to his ICE Order of Supervision in Baltimore; and (3) if they initiate third-country removal proceedings, must provide seventy-two (72) business hours' notice to Abrego Garcia and his counsel of the intended third country, as more fully detailed below.
