A well-reported update on the 15 South American people ICE sent to DR Congo two weeks ago. Trapped in a rat-infested hotel by the airport with no options but going back to the countries they fled. This is what we're doing to legal asylum-seekers who "followed the rules." www.npr.org/2026/04/28/n...

Nearly two months after the militarized raid that roused them from their sleep and made international headlines, residents who remain at 7500 South Shore Drive are fighting back.

As Bukele prepares to arrest multiple journalists for reporting on the deal he made with gangs before the State of Exception in 2022, remember that the Trump admin chose to send him an MS-13 leader set for a trial in the US who might have testified about that deal, thus ensuring his silence.

BIG news: potentially hundreds of thousands of people were at risk of having their humanitarian parole terminated early, starting on April 24. This saves those people from immediate terminations. However, just as under Biden, the parole will expire at two years.

Went to USCIS’ website to look up the current status of Venezuelans who applied for TPS under the Oct 2023 order and this is their batshit notice at the top. Basically just lashing out that the courts won’t let them destroy legal status with the stroke of a pen
Screenshot of USCIS webpage for TPS Venezuela
Alert Type info
ALERT: The Administration is committed to restoring the rule of law with respect to Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Nonetheless, on March 31, 2025, Judge Edward Chen, a federal judge in San Francisco, ordered the department to continue TPS for Venezuelans. See National TPS Alliance, et al., v. Kristi Noem et al., No. 3:25-cv-01766 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 31, 2025). The court did so even though the TPS statute says that TPS decisions are not subject to judicial review. For more information, please see the Federal Register notice. DHS has every intention of ending Venezuela TPS as soon as it obtains relief from the court order. Further updates regarding TPS Venezuela will be posted on this webpage

Screenshot of excerpt from speech reading:
We seek to liberate Judaism from an ethnostate that wants Jews to be perennially afraid, that wants our children to be afraid, that wants us to believe the world is against us so that we go running to its fortress and beneath its iron dome, or at least keep the weapons and donations flowing.

That is the false idol.

And it’s not just Netanyahu, it’s the world he made and that made him – it’s Zionism.

What are we? We, in these streets for months and months, are the exodus. The exodus from Zionism.

And to the Chuck Schumers of this world, we do not say: “Let our people go.”

We say: “We have already gone. And your kids? They’re with us now.”
