Since Trump is making massive promises today like a $5k check for every American, here’s a little promise he made ten years ago: “"They said my wife, Melania, might have come in illegally. Can you believe that one? Let me tell you one thing. She has got it so documented, so she’s going to have a little news conference over the next couple of weeks. That’s good. I love it. I love it." Never happened and the media never called him on it.
I spoke to @CNN about an important linguistic question; when the U.S. government dumps someone in a country on a continent they've never been to before, does the word "deportation" still apply? Or is what's happening something different — a rendition? https://t.co/ExLWqrX3Ia
Pretty bad when I trust @DHSGov about as much as I trust Milo Yiannopolous, which is to say not at all.
DHS's social media account routinely lies, gets things wrong, or omits highly relevant facts, and almost never corrections. Not good for public transparency!
Earlier today we filed our Motion to Enforce in the Ivanov #DV2026 case, because @StateDept has apparently decided that it doesn’t want to issue diversity lottery visas. Rubio does this in spite of Judge Leon’s order to issue the visas now, and that their failure to do so was illegal.
We don’t need the National Guard in Memphis. We don’t need ICE in Memphis. We need rational law enforcement and rational immigration policy. We don’t have it.
When Sen. Grassley blocked exempting many STEM grad. degree holders from employment-based green card limits in the 2022 Chips & Science Act, it perpetuated disastrous green card waiting times for Indians of up to 179 years. @David_J_Bier@gsiskind@SIIA_US https://t.co/5FTNS7oGnd
A very well-documented case of a U.S. citizen being deported. It doesn't happen often, but situations like this — where multiple DHS officers allegedly refused to investigate a claim of citizenship — remain scandalous. DHS has still not indicated if any officer faces discipline.
Immigrants are less likely than US-born citizens to receive government disability income, @David_J_Bier reports. In 2024, just 2.61% of immigrants received disability income, compared with 5.11% of US-born citizens—nearly half the rate.
