This is very important coz (2) is the current incarnation of AARP case which is still sitting on SCOTUS emergency docket. With a split on both the Proclamation and class vs individual habeas, SCOTUS is much more likely to step into this now.

🚨 BREAKING: Major developments in the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) legal saga: 1. PA fed judge is 1st to find that POTUS has authority to issue a proclamation under AEA to remove Venezuelans declared members of TdA. 2. TX fed judge refused to issue class certification under AEA for No District of TX

chilling reporting on cruelty of blind and made-for-TV ICE enforcement action: 18 yo Venezuelan paroled in Nov via CBPOne was arrested in Jan when his mom allowed ICE into their house after being told that ICE was looking for him for appearing in a 'video w guns and drugs' kut.org/politics/202...

That said, under the Immigration and Nationality Act a person can request asylum at POE (courts have ruled that metering is unlawful) and asylum cannot be halted by executive action, so stay tuned for the executive orders for details as to what actions under 212(f) would be taken by Prez Trump.

About 25+ people who had received notices for such appointments for post 20 Jan and early February will not be able to use them and no new appointments will be made available.

CONFIRMED! USCIS will issue refund for the filing fees for all who filed for the Parole in Place Program, Keeping Families Together, that was blocked by TX court. People will not receive a formal denial I was told, which is very strange.

052

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

HUGE if true! On one of the listservers a colleague posted that they received a refund check for the #KFT (the now dead Keeping Families Together pogram) application filed for a client. Can anyone confirm that this is happening? We have not received any so far.

9. I have many issues w ceBONDS system (problems are many, too many for a thread). Our firm does not post ceBONDS and this rule just confirms my initial reaction when they started it. What is your experience/reaction?

010

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

8. -- a USC/LPR who posted the bond is not likely to update their address with ICE everytime they move. And the bene changing address has no relevance. Ergo, the problems with the current system are likely to be magnified over the next 4 years.

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

7. again problematic bc most individuals posting immigration bonds are not the subject of the bond & delivery and supervision bonds remain in place sometimes in decades

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

6. Obligors who opt out of e-service will receive notice by routine mail it seems which is a departure from the current "certified receipt" practice for paper delivery/breach notices.

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

5. alleged "safeguard" where e-service is not confirmed, meaning recipient does not click on the link, which is ICE must effectuate service via regular mail to the obligor's last know address is utterly insufficient, considering ICE prevalent failure to actually print and mail notices of any kind.

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

4. Institutional obligors log in & out of accnts often & receive many e-notifications to check activities. Any errant opening of notice -- will be considered valid proof of service-- triggering the delivery obligations: If the non-citizen does not appear bond is breached &$ are gone (revert to ICE).

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

3. Reason is because only individuals who are US Citizens or LPRs can be individual obligors.

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

2. But the majority of obligors/co-obligors posting in ceBONDS are institutional obligors such as NGOs and law firms. (I think sureties use a different account but not sure about it). So those institutional obligors post immigration bonds for many individuals.

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

1. I'm particularly concerned abt provision/system providing that to confirm/constitute "proof of service" of an e-bond notice, system captures exact date/time notices are opened. That is it -it dosnt matter who opened it, whether had legal authority to opt out/in or use th account.

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

as the Reg also clarifies that there is a difference between "notification" (ppl need to opt in to use ceBONDS) and "notices" under this new rule, which is HUGE but will see if Trump Admin changes it and will be potentially a trap for the unwary going forward. Why?

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

This rule is enacted to allow ICE to serve certain bond notices (delivery, cancellations etc) electronically 2 obligors who **consent to electronic service**, meaning that it should not apply to anyone who has posted a bond previously ...

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

🚨NEW! ICE is to publish the Final Rule on Electronic Immigration Bond Notifices on Monday, 1/6/2025, which will take effect 45 days later. #usimmigration This rule does not amend or change the ceBONDS system in any way! Copy is here: public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-31358.pdf A short 🧵

I doubt they would have such capability but if they are upping consular staff they can set up effective document depository for rapid response legal teams. It will be on the communities & legal profession to do it.

I know someone here is in the beta testing sample, so plz show us what they're cooking, plz.

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

But as a publicity and messaging tactic, it is a 💯. Let's see what Homan's response will be, but my concern is that it could motivate ICE to target disproportionally Mexican citizens and victimize the border communities. it is supposed to be available in January.

192

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

How far they could go in securing or coordinating legal representation is a murky area, and certainly, anything that could be seen as interfering with ICE enforcement actions would be out of bounds as it would be an interference with a sovereign's police powers.

171

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

But consular staff and officials have ZERO authority to prevent ICE detention or to take actions to shield, represent, or protect their nationals against ICE enforcement actions such as arrest, detention, and deportation.

151

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

Foreign consular officials are only allowed to communicate with their nationals in US jails to provide consular assistance such as contacting family members, providing written notices, contacting an attorney, and paying for legal representation.

161

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

In essence, the Convention provides that when foreign nationals are arrested or detained, they must be advised of the option to have the closest consulate or the embassy notified by ICE. For certain countries the notification is mandatory even if the person does not want the notification.

161

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

It is built on the core protection of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations but appears to be more of a publicity stunt than an effective protection for undocumented non-citizens who are citizens of Mexico.

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

The app is described as a form of a "panic button" where the subscriber who believes is "in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button, and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate,” according to la Fuente.

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

NEW: According to AP & statements attributed to Mexico's secretary of foreign affairs Juan Ramón de la Fuente, Mexico is in small-batch testing stage new phone app that will allow non-citizens to warn relatives and local consulates if they are about to be detained by ICE. apnews.com/article/mexi...

Correction: "Trump Admin plans to hold kids in internment camps" (nothing new here, sad but true) and deport US citizen children with their non-citizen parents if a family wants to stay together. This is the real story! History will judge us!

But Biden agreed to pay $2Mil + in attorney fees.

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

So at this point I would think the vast majority have had their BIA appeals denied or close to. So, because there are no protection for any MTR process or PFR, basically all of these ppl will be sitting ducks starting Jan 20. Way da go 'settling class counsel'. Just awful.

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

I'm pissed! most of released under the #Adelanto order were ppl w significant length of residence prior to ICE arrest who were denied bond prior to Mar' 20 or were positive CFI and were pretty far into their cases. Very few were 235b.

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

or a class member -- is arrested for new criminal charges -- fails to comply with probation and -- **** a class member is given a final order of removal

110

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

7. Class Members CAN BE REDETAINED & HELD in detention w/out restrictions, if threat to national security or public safety or a class member -- violates a material condition of release -- fails to appear for immigration court and is ordered removed, regardless of reasons or pendant of MTR

110

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

but here is the consequential stuff, if I understood terms: 6. there is no relief or humanitarian considerations or temporary parole, pause on removal, or some actual tangible benefits to class members who went through hell, NONE. Owhy would they negotiate for any, this is not a pet project.

110

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

5. and get this one: ICE and Geo must comply with CDC regarding masking and social distancing in the facility. So, are they gonna require visitors and legal visits to do the same?

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

4. ICE has to continue to test both new intake and staff for COVID-19 and isolate infected detainees.

100

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

3. ICE and Geo must offer COVID-19 vaccines to all non-citizens detained at Adelanto. Almost everyone who remained detained at that hellhole since 2020 refused vaccination.

110

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

2. Geo & ICE are to obide by illusory "requirements" to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 transmission including: * Defendants are supposed to use "their best efforts" (Are you fucking kidding me, who are you?) to follow CDC COVID-19 guidance.

110

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

1. The most devastating and consequential provision of this proposed **settlement** is that intake and punitive detention will resume at #Adelanto without any restriction on number of intakes, so expect we will reach max capacity by end of January.

Nicolette Glazer @nicoletteglazer.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Full disclosure: have not gone in depth in the terms of the settlement agreement so this summary is preliminary and very glib ... but heck here we go:
