She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

ast month, Meenu Batra, 53, who has lived in the South Texas border colonia of Laguna Heights since 2002, was on her way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to work another case. She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide, where she’s contracted to help people making their way through the immigration court system, just as she did for herself 35 years ago when she immigrated from India to New Jersey before settling in Texas.

She planned to meet with her adult children in Austin after the Wisconsin trip, the only difference she foresaw in an otherwise typical trip. Her routine for years included flying from either Harlingen or Brownsville to far-flung parts of the country where South Asian immigrants needed language access. For this trip, the flight was out of Harlingen.

But, around 5 p.m. on March 17, Batra was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents after passing through security at Harlingen International Airport. In a sworn deposition that was filed as part of a petition for habeas corpus—a legal request to be released on the grounds that the detention is unlawful—Batra said the people who arrested her did not have visible badges nor were they wearing uniforms. One of those agents had asked Batra if she knew she was in the country illegally and that she had a deportation order. She replied that her work authorization status, which she applied for regularly after being granted a legal status called withholding of removal by a New Jersey immigration judge decades ago, was good for another four years.

“That doesn’t mean you can be here forever,” the agent replied. Two more plainclothes agents would join the two that detained her, bringing her down the escalator and to the front of the airport.

Now do you believe me when I tell you the ocean has absorbed ~30% of the carbon dioxide we’ve emitted? 🩵 And that it has absorbed 90%+ of the heat trapped by greenhouse gasses? 🩵

Yeah…I thought it would go better with a female consultant too…but she recommended YouTube videos for therapy for my chronic head and neck pain and discharged me with a probable CSF leak and neck instability so that’s fun 🤷‍♀️💀🫣

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Food tours are one of our favourite ways to experience a new place, and this one in Cape Town was such a highlight. 🇿🇦 From Bo Kaap and Cape Malay dishes to rooibos tea, chocolate tasting and wine (the Pinotage 👀) I’ve shared everything we ate, plus accessibility notes too 💛 shorturl.at/lySbe

The show #WynonnaEarp did a lot of filming in Didsbury. #Earpers - fans of the show with a large queer/trans base - supported the town with visits and money. Didsbury officials even encouraged an official fan event. And what did Didsbury turn around and do? They said, “Fuck them.” Fuck Didsbury.

From Instagram - today the Dyke Project shut down NHS England HQ to protest the politically motivated ban on trans youth healthcare.

Photo of protest. A security guard stands on a banner reading Silence = Death, HRT saves lives. A protester lying on the floor holds up a placard that says, 48% of trans people have attempted suicide.

If you want to know why the NUJ in England does nothing about transphobia in media, I applied to join and, with 30 years of professionale experience, they wouldn't let me join. There was no reason at all as I joined the Irish one with ease. It was pure, unadulterated transphobia.
