Barbosa de Cunha immediately goes to the front of the line as the most important case #SCOTUS will decide this term. Trump's entire immigration arrest and detention policy regime *depends* upon its novel reading of the statutes, one that's been rejected by an overwhelming majority of lower courts.

Thousands of detained immigrants with “Final Orders of Removal” have had their records hidden or deleted from ICE’s tracking system, leaving families and lawyers unable to locate them.

ICE wiped thousands of people from its database. Families are paying the price.
Lawyers and loved ones are scrambling to find people suddenly culled from DHS rolls.

ALERT: #GreatLakes and #Rockies regions are likely to see another price hike this week, even with price jumps that happened already yesterday and today due to huge jumps in wholesale gasoline and diesel prices. Gasoline could jump 25-75c with diesel rising 55-85c/gal

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.

He's saying renovations are needed because the facility is unsafe. But the money for renovations isn't available unless his name goes on the building. Ergo, if his name doesn't go on the building and, as a result, it's not renovated, then it must be demolished for public-safety reasons.
