NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” propublica.org/article/trump-…

I wrote last summer about the troubling trend toward slander — falsely maligning others religionnews.com/2024/09/12/imm… Disagreement with the Biden administration’s parole program is fair. Calling “illegal” people who were sponsored by Americans & entered lawfully at the airport is not

Not sure if my concerns are the same as Mr. Musk's, but this bill dramatically increases funding for detaining & deporting immigrants, all but assuring deportations well beyond those who are convicted of violent crimes instagram.com/reel/DKCyJ5-AS… Advocate: p2a.co/x2rLOcx

So many of the immigration challenges of the past five years have been the result not of large numbers of asylum seekers, but of large numbers of asylum seekers prohibited from working lawfully & supporting themselves This would make that problem much worse

Our statement: “In-state tuition policies help students succeed, grow local economies, and strengthen the workforce. That is why Texas has led on tuition equity for over two decades, a policy enacted under the Republican leadership of Governor Rick Perry and repeatedly upheld

My analysis of Trump's new travel and immigration bans: They don't make any sense. Migrants from the banned countries commit almost no terrorism and they have low criminal incarceration rates. Read below for more.

Texas, under GOP governor Rick Perry, led the way in letting Dreamer students, who were brought to the US as kids and who remain ineligible for federal financial aid, pay in-state tuition rates for public universities Grieving for students impacted by this heartless decision

Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.
