A victory for the government in this case would greenlight long-term mass civil detention at a level not seen since Japanese internment during WWII. It would represent the largest change in how the US treats immigrants facing removal since 1996, and remind us again that the 96 law must be erased.

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.

campuses have bought israeli spy tech and used it to spy on pro-palestine students, eventually disciplining and even expelling them. they’ve also worked with local police who’ve trained with israeli police.

Police militarization has been further accelerated by more than two decades of "training expeditions" in which thousands of U.S. police have traveled to learn from Israeli police and military who enforce an occupation of Palestinians with the aid of high-tech surveillance technology. Such trips are also an opportunity for Israeli-based companies to sell their surveillance products. These include the ironically named Nice Systems, which provides camera networks; SuperCom, which deals in electronic monitoring; and Cellebrite, which specializes in phone-hacking technology and has sold its products to agencies in at least 20 states. This influence is detailed by author Antony Lowenstein in his influential text The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World. He writes that Israel engages in the surveillance of all Palestinians en masse, “regardless of age, location, or intent."

Some universities in the U.S. are also complicit in these trainings, such as the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) program based at Georgia State University, where Israeli police are invited to train U.S. law enforcement from major U.S. cities. Activists have called for ending the GILEE program, sponsored in part by the Atlanta Police Foundation, the nonprofit behind the large police training facility south of the city known as "Cop City."

In 2019, Wayne State University's chief of police traveled to Israel "to share law enforcement strategies" as part of a "delegation" of other police officers visiting from Cleveland, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. He noted the importance of the university police's jurisdiction, "not only [on] campus, but also [in] the greater Midtown Detroit area - all neighbors and members of our community."

The student newspaper Columbia Spectator exposed in September how the administration at Columbia University and Barnard College spied on student activists before and after the encampments. Following a "Resistance 101" workshop held by a campus divestment group earlier in the spring, campus police started collecting information on demonstrators, gathering footage from campus surveillance cameras and tracking student IDs swiped at building entrances. They also sent private investigators to interrogate students at home, Columbia Spectator reports. The administration then began to suspend students, expel them from housing and call them before disciplinary hearings. New York City Police Department (NYPD) conducted multiple sweeps of student spaces.

Campus and community activists have found that since at least 2021, the University of Illinois Board of Trustees has contracted with Cellebrite, the Israeli-based company that sells surveillance technology and is known for being the phone-hacking software of choice for the FBI. The board most recently renewed its contract with the tech firm in November 2024, for use of "Digital Collector" and "Inspector" subscriptions. The former is advertised as a "must-have tool in the digital forensic toolbox ... for investigators," while the latter is marketed to find "Internet History, Downloads, Locations, Recent searches, and more." The board has spent at least $17,464.40 on such technology, according to information obtained from Illinois Freedom of Information Act requests.

UIUC's contract renewal comes after more than a year of Palestinian ethnic cleansing by Israel, and underscores the university administration's commitment to Israeli interests in direct opposition to the concerns of student, alumni, faculty and community activists. Students have
