Reposted by Spencer JuddAaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Similarly, people keep asking me if immigration will get much better if Democrats retake Congress and the answer is "probably not." ICE is largely insulated from Congressional pushback (the 2026 budget reconciliation bill funded them through 2029) and hearings and subpoenas can only do so much. 38703222

Reposted by Spencer JuddAaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I am less pessimistic about this than I am about the third-country removal case, but I have no illusions that this is an easy case for advocates.

Reposted by Spencer JuddAaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A 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. 6475138
Reposted by Spencer JuddAaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This 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. 351242506
