In awe of our client, Leqaa, and the incredible legal team of which I'm a small part, @muslimadvocates.bsky.social, @txcivilrights.bsky.social, CUNY-CLEAR. Thanks to @theintercept.com for covering the government's cruel, racist and unrelenting targeting of Leqaa. #FreeLeqaa

Incredible advocacy by @veenadubal.bsky.social & others. What victory. Not only has this case exposed the monstrous, racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic & unconstitutional work of this Admin, but the decision couldn't be more clear: noncitizens have the same free speech rights as everyone else 🔥🙌

Even in these truly bonkers times, law still matters. And Trop v. Dulles is still good law. TL;DR: you cannot denaturalize someone as punishment for a crime. This "agreement" between #Trump and #Bukele flies in the face of US Constitutional Law & Int'l Law. www.oyez.org/cases/1956/70

I'm an #asylum lawyer - part of my job includes protecting my clients from being sent back to El Salvador bc of the torture, inhumane conditions & violent repression they face there under Bukele. Jails in El Salvador are notorious for torture & human rights abuses. A thread 🧵 1/

The number of #immigration related announcements, EOs & memos is dizzying. One thing that has gotten less attn are the policy memos being released by DOJ/EOIR (i.e. the immigration court). Here's a thread on one that encourages the use of the word "Al*en", & why it matters. 1/

Yesterday the Senate voted to begin debate on the Laken-Riley Act. This bill will criminalize, indefinitely detain & deport even more noncitizens. It also further lays the groundwork for Trump's mass deportation agenda. Please call your senators now and urge them to vote NO on this. Here's why 🧵 1/

this piece is stunning for its inaccuracy, its cruelty and the authors' lack of self-reflection. leaning hard right on #immigration has destroyed families, traumatized entire communities, & undoubtedly cost people their lives. it hasn't won dems any recent elections, either.

Errol Morris’ SEPARATED is both a roadmap to what the incoming Trump administration might do, but also how people may push back against, as @adamserwer.bsky.social coined, cruelty being the point. The film is in theaters now. MSNBC December 7.
