After spending two weeks in Tokyo and Seoul it really is night and day with major American cities and it’s most noticeable with public transportation and sanitation. Very impressive cities, great walkability, and it’s super convenient and accessible to eat out and shop. I couldn’t recommend more!

What’s coming is an industrial-scale ethnic cleansing. Not through mass murder, but through increasingly inhumane detentions and mass forced relocations across the globe. Because it can’t be hidden, the regime has leaned into the media environment and commercialized fascism with memes and merch.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I was at the Miami Immigration Court the other day and without exaggeration, probably every other person there was an undercover ICE agent. Terrifying for my clients and honestly I was on edge as well. They were in the halls, huddled around the bathrooms, and even sat in the courtroom. Intimidating.

1/ Before the 2024 Presidential election, I frequently posted here that I believed the survival of our Republic was at risk and that a vote for anyone except Harris/Walz was a vote for fascism. Events since the 2024 Presidential election have only heightened my fear that our Constitution is . . .

Folks. We do not concede the lawfulness of something even when the president obviously does not care. The norms must be defended as institutions unto themselves.

As an immigration attorney you notice the small ways that the administration makes practicing more inconvenient like removing the names and now phone numbers of IJ clerks from the EOIR website. Effectively funneling everyone to the court’s main number which obviously can’t handle that many calls.

The government has laid out its legal arguments in defense of the Birthright Citizenship executive order. They unsurprisingly draw on Elk v. Wilkins (Indian law) in their 3 page merits argument. It is time to better understand this field and these cases. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The future of the Republic is uncertain. I do not know whether the Department of Justice will become the tip of the spear of fascism under FBI Director (?) Kash Patel. I do not know if ICE & CBP will be running huge internment camps. I do know that I'll do my best to fight it.

It's not just undocumented immigrants. The Trump birthright citizenship EO says that every child born to a parent here on any non-immigrant visa (including student visas and other visas which allow people to live in the US for years) is not a US citizen. Unconstitutional in the extreme.

Umm, no. Jurors decide facts, not law. Uploading legal cases would not help a juror decide if the light was red when the car entered the intersection, whether a doctor breached the standard of care in performing a surgery, or whether a statement met the elements of fraud. 1/2

This is an insane and frightening thing for a prospective Attorney General to say. There is no serious controversy about whether the 14th Amdt confers birthright citizenship. There is nothing to “study” but unambiguous case law & crackpot xenophobic fever dreams.

The birthright citizenship portion of the US Constitution is totally, inarguably unambiguous. No wiggle room. If the supreme court agrees to throw it out they are explicitly throwing out the entire document and our entire system of government.

Law has never been “real.” Law is, (and has always been) about power, relationships, and people’s beliefs in structure. And I’ll be damned if I let people give up to the nihilist vision of Trump without fighting for the ideal of a nation of laws. The game is not over yet. Stop despairing and fight.

The stories of Haitians who have come here through legal immigration channels are fascinating because there are so many white collar, highly-educated Haitians who managed to get out because they had the resources to do so that their less-fortune countrymen do not have. Now they are at risk again.
Lesly Joseph, a Haitian dentist, and his wife, flew to the United States in 2021 on tourist visas after being threatened at gunpoint by gangs. The couple felt fortunate, he said, when the Biden administration designated Temporary Protected Status for nationals of Haiti, based on the spiraling violence within a day of their arrival. “T.P.S. offered me sanctuary to live here and protect my family from harm,” said Dr. Joseph, who lives in Boston and has a 3-year-old American daughter. Dr. Joseph was hired as a researcher at Boston University and is working toward obtaining a license to practice dentistry in the United States. If the temporary status gets stripped away, he would immediately lose his job. “I can’t even think of it,” he said.

Talking to a guy about immigrants at a party last night and it’s crazy to me how ppl genuinely believe that the quality of an undocumented person is so low that if we don’t deport millions, it’s a “race to the bottom.” He found it hard to believe that professionals (doctors, etc.) were among those..
