Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said foreign “propaganda” would be banned after US anti-migrant ads ran on national TV.

The commercials showed US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem warning that anyone crossing the US-Mexico border illegally would be prosecuted and deported.

>>During the interview, an officer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told Mahdawi that he needed to “check” on some information and that he’d be right back, according to the court papers. Masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents then entered the room and shackled Mahdawi, the filing said.

During Mahdawi's arrest he was separated from his immigration attorney and placed into a car, according to the filing, before the federal government tried to quickly transfer him to Louisiana – where Khalil is currently being held in an ICE detention center.<<

Mohsen Mahdawi, an organizer of pro-Palestinian demonstrations last year at Columbia University, was detained by the Department of Homeland Security during his naturalization interview in Vermont on Monday.
Gothamist · New court filings detail Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi's ICE arrest: 'It was a trap'On Wednesday, a judge granted a 90-day extension of a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration from deporting Mahdawi, according to Mahdawi’s lawyers.

"Unmarked vehicles were the first to arrive outside the Home Depot on South Towne Avenue in Pomona around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, where dozens of workers had gathered outside, according to witnesses and advocates.

"It is unclear how many people were arrested and whether this is part of a larger strategy of targeting undocumented day laborers in Southern California. Immigration advocates say as many as 25 were arrested.

"More than 24 hours later, many of the workers’ family members still have no idea where their loved ones are being held."

San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore says he will comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's request for information on four people with criminal records, becoming the first state or local law enforcement official in the country to so honor such requests among a spate of jurisdictions whose laws sharply restrict cooperation with immigration authorities.

>>The judge’s order says federal officials cannot take the men out of Colorado, which would prevent immigration officials from transferring them to a detention center in another state and then deporting them from there. It also says authorities must provide at least 21 days’ notice to detainees — written in a language they understand — that they face deportation and that they have a right to seek judicial review of their case. <<

The Colorado Sun · Denver judge blocks Trump deportations of Venezuelans accused of gang affiliation to prison in El SalvadorBy Jennifer Brown

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced that the state will take punitive actions against the country of El Salvador for holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia in custody.

“The United States Constitution guarantees due process. We are witnessing Donald Trump erode our fundamental Constitutional rights in real time, and we must fight to restore the balance of power,” said Pritzker.

These are not actual Article III judges ... these are Administrative Law #Judges within #DOJ ... so they are under #Bondi and #Trump. Something that needs to happen next time there is a Dem trifecta is to move deportation tribunals into the Judicial branch, independent of POTUS

@Lazarou Thx 4 boost

>>What matters is that acts we once took for granted as virtuous, routine, and safe — telling the truth, representing those oppressed by the state, providing legal aid to the powerless, volunteering to work at a polling site, basic journalism — now carry some risk. They now require some courage. Maybe the government won’t send you to prison. At least not yet. But it can make your life really difficult.<<
