People should stop reporting the veto as a meaningful thing. You can't veto the absence of an action, which is essentially what this is. The city council has no obligation to override his veto. Mayor Frey still needs a majority of council members to confirm an appointment.

Payne, referring to ballot question language hiding the the effect of the charter change, says If the commission moves forward with this, the voters need to know what they're considering.

Payne: substantive changes to council authority are being obfuscated by technical amendments. Council could pass technical amendments unanimously and avoid need for a ballot question.

We have a inter-agency team working to estimate the rental assistance need across the state due to metro surge, but I'm curious from a qualitative perspectice how folks are dealing with this. Are landlords threatening eviction action (either formal or informal)? Are some even willing to negotiate?

There’s a vote in DC tomorrow that would give DHS $11 billion more in funding. Schumer and Jeffries have already walked back any “demands” they had for DHS. I, for one, do not think this timing is just a coincidence. Turn down the temp for the vote. Turn it right back up when the bag is secured.

Civil rights lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong's latest brief reveals the backstory of her arrest in a footnote. Feds refused to let her self-surrender, taped her arrest at a hotel, and broke a promise not to post it on social media, she says. The White House then digitally altered it to smear her.
She also would have explained
that she was staying at a hotel because she had been receiving death threats as a result of top officials in the government denouncing her in the media, and because she was trying to be in a location where she could facilitate her self-surrender at the federal court several blocks away. As previously explained, the government through United States Attorney Daniel Rosen
himself refused to allow Ms. Levy Armstrong to self-surrender at the courthouse but instead insisted on arresting her at the hotel where one of the arresting agents video recorded her arrest on his cell phone. Despite the agent promising that the video would not be on Twiiter, a photo of her being arrested was placed on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's Twitter Feed, and then digitally altered to portray Ms. Levy Armstrong in a false and derogatory light and published on the White House Twitter feed.

If you've received a sizable government grant to repair the sewer line connection to your house, are you allowed to be a council member trashing the idea of boosting rental assistance citing your skepticism of the effectiveness of government programs? Feels wrong.

Chughtai, in wide eyed wonder at what she's hearing, responds to idea that the undeserving will exploit rental assistance: if you have income at the level of minimum wage, couldn't pay your rent for whatever reason, and you've been served an eviction notice, you're by definition a person in need.

CORRECTION: This rule does not go into effect tomorrow, it goes into effect 30 days after tomorrow. My apology.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Executive Office for Immigration Review 8 CFR Parts 1003, 1208, and 1240 [Docket No. EOIR-26-AB37; Dir. Order No. 02-2026] RIN 1125-AB37 Appellate Procedures for the Board of Immigration Appeals AGENCY: Executive Office for Immigration Review (“EOIR”), Department of Justice. ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: This interim final rule (“IFR”) amends Department of Justice (“Department” or “DOJ”) regulations to streamline administrative appellate review by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board” or “BIA”) of decisions by Immigration Judges by making review of such decisions on the merits discretionary, by setting appropriate times for briefing in cases that are reviewed on the merits, and by streamlining other aspects of the appellate process to ensure timely adjudications and avoid adding to the already sizeable backlog at the Board. Additionally, the Department is making various technical and non-substantive changes to its regulations. DATES: Effective date: This IFR is effective [INSERT DATE 30 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.
Thus, rather than require such adjudications, the Department is changing its regulations to provide the Board more flexibility in reviewing appeals. Instead, for appeals taken from decisions issued after this IF becomes effective, as explained in
Section IV.A of this preamble, the default will be summary dismissal unless a majority of current Board members vote to consider the appeal on the merits. And such dismissals
will occur quickly—within 15 days of filing the appeal—allowing aliens to seek Federal court review expeditiously, rather than potentially waiting for years for a Board decision that in the vast majority of cases would affirm the underlying Immigration Judge
decision.
