I don't have time to write more, but ICE is working to remove people to third countries in violation of D.V.D. v. DHS. I've been up since 5:20 A.M. working with two other attorneys to prevent our client from being shipped out. If you rep someone at risk of third country removal, check on them NOW

I can’t put into words how evil this is. People are dying at the hands of ICE in the street, and behind the walls of detention centers, moms are losing their babies. This is why ICE oversight is necessary—to keep exposing this unimaginable cruelty. Trump needs to answer for this.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

🚨BIG news! Fifth Circuit says undocumented immigrants with no criminal records, specifically those who came across the border at some point long in the past, MUST be given a bond hearing within 90 days of arrest, at which the government must be able to justify continued jailing.
Given the absence of any categorical justification for detention, unlike 
in Zadvydas (aliens who have been found to be removable) and Demore (aliens 
who were convicted of criminal offenses), there is no reason to lengthen the 
period of time during which the validity of detention can be presumed.13  We 
conclude that the Government may detain aliens under Section 
1225(b)(2)(A) for ninety days but no longer without a bond hearing.  We 
described earlier the manner in which, by regulations, the Government hadWe are not ordering any particular 
process, and it is for the defendants to determine in what manner to provide 
such a hearing within those 90 days.  Failure to provide timely hearings might 
again lead to the involvement of district courts.  Our only requirement is that 
a hearing must be held within 90 days of the commencement of detention and 
that at the hearing, the Government must articulate an individualized 
justification for further detention without bond.  Two such justifications 
already have judicial imprimatur — dangerousness and flight risk — but we 
do not reject the possibility that the Government may be able to assert 
another justification why an unadmitted alien must be detained.
