Imagine being afraid of Venezuelans arriving at the border talking about their belief in the American Dream (“el Sueño Americano”), thanking God for blessing them with the opportunity, and politely saying thank you.

Saving this quote from a DOJ brief for any future attempt by any future administration to try to do this. This is from DOJ's brief in Texas's lawsuit seeking to force the Border Patrol not to cut their razor wire along the Rio Grande: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Yesterday, Speaker Johnson suggested Trump could ignore rulings by 61 courts & defy our Constitution because Trump supposedly “believed” he won. Mike knows the election was not stolen and that a President who defies the rulings of our courts & attempts to seize power is a tyrant.

This is 100% accurate. The law as it has been on the books for decades is crystal clear; it does not matter where or how you enter the United States, you have a right to seek asylum. Anyone who says they "have to go to a port of entry" are just factually incorrect. They do not.

So Senate negotiators are pinning their entire plan on an idea that could simply fizzle out the moment Mexico says no, and they haven’t even bothered to reach out to Mexico to talk through what might be asked of that country.

This is, to be blunt, ignorant nonsense. People arriving through the US Refugee Admissions program have gone through multiple years of vetting and already "won their case" and been granted legal status in the US. They arrive on a path to a green card and eventual citizenship.

Reviewing supporting docs for an H-1B extension I am filing. The employee began his H-1B status in 2008. This is the 10th H-1B petition being filed on his behalf. He started the green card process a decade ago, but can’t be approved for it. Why? Because he was born in India.

My heart is broken. A 16-year-old high school student in Georgia texted her mom, "I know I've not been a perfect daughter. I love you. I'm sorry." Enough is enough.

Holy sh*t. Linda Ronstadt has absolutely HAD it with Donald Trump & JD Vance & she is not holding back one bit. This statement is so good. Everyone must read & share this.

Well yes, if you are *mandated* to arrest people who *have not actually committed or been convicted of a crime,* you will have to release those who *actually have been convicted of a crime.* The laws are already extremely harsh. ICE can detain any undocumented person they want.

How the HECK is it not a nationwide scandal that Trump told federal law enforcement to divert resources away from drug trafficking and terrorism cases to instead prioritize prosecuting undocumented immigrants for living here? They screamed about fentanyl and then did this!

Trump is about to gut the legal immigration system by carrying out a Reduction in Force at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Backlogs are already bad; people wait months for decisions on simple applications. They’re about to get way worse.
