Because they have different legal and statutory authorities and powers. People outside the immigration realm may think it's all the same, but it's not.

"Administration attempts to openly defy court orders" is a pretty bright line. I've been looking at it like a spectrum and that was a pretty big jump towards authoritarianism.

This was a comment on the blurb, which seems to imply that ICE has a huge budget windfall and why can't they hire immigration judges from that. It's because they have nothing to do with the judges. Congress would have had to allocate money to DOJ.

ICE/DHS doesn't administer immigration judges; they're under the purview of DOJ/EOIR.

Should we just give up and not even try to hold them accountable? The law provides a framework for it and right now courts have slowed down this administration's agenda more than any other institution. Every time the admin needs to stop to find a new loophole, their destruction is curbed.

I mean, sure, they have the existential freedom to do anything. Trump can order AF strikes on LA tomorrow. But not only do norms and laws slow them down, but seeing them constantly violate laws and norms turn public opinion against them, which in and of itself is valuable.

Check the charts! What year was it? Were their parents married? Was one parent not a citizen? Did their parents have enough physical presence in the US? All of this is relevant to figuring this out.

I think if our country provided parents actual, meaningful support, you might see people who were one and done choosing to have two or people who are currently not having children because of instability change their mind, but it would probably cap at 2-3 like you said.

I personally have always really wanted 2. Now that I have one and one on the way, there's a slight chance that I *maybe* would have considered 3 if I was younger, but I didn't start younger because I had zero financial stability. Then in 2020 covid happened, so that delayed as well.

I feel like I and other parents comment every other day that the only thing that will lead to people having more kids is paid parental leave, universal free or subsidized childcare, affordable housing, good healthcare, and good social safety nets.

It's a huge, complex system that consists of policies layered upon regulations which are layered on statute. In recent years, ALOT of policies have been enacted by executive orders which is why you see huge swings from president to president.

Considering large swaths of our country's immigration law is from 1965 and the rest of it is from the 90s, I'm not having much hope that the law is changing any time soon. Immigration reform bills have failed time and time again.

The misinformation around immigration is so so bad. I see multiple incorrect assertions every single day, including people who seem to thing we never deported/ removed anyone prior to 2003. People have no concept of how bad the system has always been.

They were all phrased too as "My friend said her nanny said..." Zero posts were firsthand accounts of this happening and you'd think that would get picked up by any media at all because it would be a pretty sympathetic story.

One of the things that makes me extremely insane about Blue Sky is the significant ignorance of the history of the immigration system in this country. ICE wasn't called ICE until 2003 but cruel and capricious immigration laws have always existed in this county. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

That's not true. Immigration enforcement, including deportation officers existed. It was just under the INS umbrella and not called that. If you want to make an argument about the merits or the morality, fine but that's a disingenuous and inaccurate assessment of historical precedent.
