"The reality is there is very little visible difference between ICE kidnapping someone and armed criminals kidnapping someone. ICE is deliberately exploiting a legal gray zone where people aren’t sure if they can call 911 to report violent traffic assaults from unmarked people acting like police," the organization continued. "This is a human rights issue endangering all Oregonians and is why PIRC says abolish ICE and calls for the agency and its operations to be ended."

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Meanwhile, EOIR just announced they're shutting down an immigration court in Batavia, NY — on Friday. It was one of the agency's satellite courtrooms, attached to DHS's Buffalo (really Batavia) 'processing center', where several hundred ICE detainees are held on any given day.

I am encouraged by the Court’s stay, but the fight to maintain easy access to medication abortion that's safer than Tylenol isn't over. The Fifth Circuit’s attempt to ignore decades of scientific data was a dangerous overreach. We must ensure these extreme restrictions are rejected permanently.
