Received a phone call this morning letting me know they started moving people from Guantanamo Bay to Somalia late last week. Working on getting in contact with them now.

It still has no idea where immigration court for the detained docked is held in Chicago.

Where is the detained docket immigration court in Chicago?
Chicago Immigration Court
The Executive Office for Immigration Review
(EOIR) lists the Chicago Immigration Court at:
• 55 E. Monroe St., Suite 1500, Chicago,
IL 60603
• You can also enter via E. Adams St.
• Public hours: 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday-Friday (except federal holidays)
• Phone: & 312-220-0965
• Email:
• Chicago.Immigration. Court@usdoj.gov

Ask anything...
UAmerica.gov

EOR's operational-status page currently shows Monroe Street: OPEN and Clark Street: OPEN for Chicago, but the court's own page only publishes the Monroe Street address. I could not verify a separate public street address for a "Clark Street" or "detained docket" courtroom from those official pages.
Source: Immigration Court Operational Status 

Detained cases
EOIR's administrative-control list refers to Chicago (Detained) as part of the Chicago Immigration Court, covering people held at ICE/DHS facilities in the region. Hearings for detained cases are scheduled on the notice from the court; they are not always at a separate public
"detained court" building.
America.gov

Is the Chicago detained docket courthouse in the same building as the Chicago ICE field office?
No. Official listings put them at different addresses.
• Chicago Immigration Court (EOIR): 55 E.
Monroe St., Suite 1500, Chicago, IL 60603.
EOIR also lists a Clark Street location as open. Confirm the hearing site on your notice. Chicago Immigration Court a • Court operational status 7
• ICE ERO Chicago Field Office: 101 W Ida B
Wells Drive, Suite 4000, Chicago, IL 60605.

The court is part of the Department of Justice
(EOIR). ICE is part of DHS. They are

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

A year ago today at the Broadview ICE facility. Greg Bovino led agents from ICE, Bureau of Prisons, Border Patrol, and ATF as they pushed protesters and press back from the gate they had erected outside of the facility. Chemical munitions were deployed, and detainments were made.

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

the "iced coffee at a job interview" discussion is obviously stupid but also a great representation of the fact that every single HR person/recruiter has their own different made up rules for candidates and all of them think they are absolutely correct

“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week. Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.

When clergy with the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership showed up for their daily visit at Broadview today, they were told the facility was closed until Monday. An agent directed them to the ICE building in downtown Chicago, where they’re now waiting for entry.
