There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Almighty God.

              At best we never seem

To know You wholly, but there’s something left,

A strange, last courage.

                        We can fail and fail,

But, deep against the failure, something wars,

Something goes forward, something lights a match,

Something gets up from Sangamon County ground

Armed with a bitten and a blunted axe

And after twenty thousand wasted strokes

Brings the tall hemlock crashing to the ground.

This article is heartbreaking.
That client, a Haitian woman in her 50s, has had a green card since the early 2000s and started working with Project Citizenship in January. She declined an interview request through Breslow.
"People are devastated and they're frightened," Breslow told GBH News. "People were plucked out of line. They didn't cancel the whole ceremony."
She said many clients with upcoming ceremonies and USCIS appointments have received cancellations via an online portal. She shared an example of the notices they're receiving, which provide no further guidance or instructions.
"One person was, you know, asking ... what did I do wrong? Why is this happening to me? And, you know, needed to be reassured that it wasn't anything she had done. This wasn't her fault," Breslow said.

She compares the boat strikes to Jesus breaking the sabbath to heal someone.
Ms. Villalba said the second strike was also justified, and she does not believe the United States is indiscriminately targeting boats.
"They should have done that strike regardless," she said. "Every human being does have value, but if you're caught up in something that's very detrimental to society, I think that you should die."
She compared these strikes to a story in the Bible, when Jesus healed someone on a Sunday, contradicting religious rules that forbid work on that day. Some laws are worth breaking for the betterment of mankind, she said, just like the biblical story was trying to show.
