They came to the U.S. to become artists and to tell stories they could not tell at home. Now, 3 art students live in limbo: They can’t return to Iran for fear of retribution and they can’t stay in the U.S. because visa options have been suspended. https://t.co/ojlgcaKM1D

Nicolette Rand’s husband, Darwing Morales Txulum, was arrested by ICE. He was the sole provider for the household, and she is now worried about how she will care for their two children and her sick mother. https://t.co/4ecm72vWUV

I testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. I discussed the largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system perpetrated by DHS and the State Department. Even Republicans on the Committee were shocked by what this administration is doing to legal immigrants!

We’re hearing Post has laid off all its photojournalists.

[Lizzie Johnson @lizziejohnsonnn]

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Haitian families woke up with a little more hope today after a federal judge blocked the end of TPS. Here’s what the ruling meant for them and what’s at stake.

@Michaelhorowicz @AnnaDeMilanese It isn’t. The agent is saying “stop following us,” not “stop recording us.” Does that make it better? No it’s still a threat. But is it an “attack on journalism”? No. The agent likely doesn’t even know they’re journalists.

[Eleonora Bianchi @Eleonora_Bianch]

@Corriere Ma non è vero, non sta dicendo quello l'agente.

Vertici e non all interno di DHS sembra si stiano smuovendo contro la guida di Noem, in seguito gli ultimi avvenimenti a Minneapolis.

[John Mitnick @JohnMitnick]

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.

Impeach and remove Trump—now.

Leaked video shows ICE holding many people in Baltimore at Hopkins Plaza (not ICE detention facility) where the local ICE office and immigration court is located. ICE has been criticized for the treatment of immigrants it holds at this location.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:
