Almost two years later, this holds up.

@nyinmigracion 3/ obviously all the rest of that is wrong too. Anyway, lawyers who have AI draft their stuff shouldn’t be practicing law. These judges saying “we recognize AI can be helpful, but…” need to stop being mealy-mouthed and sanction the hell out of these lawyers. It’s not funny

[Mitzi Hellmer @HellmerMitzi]

@nyinmigracion 2/ I was at least impressed with the forceful persuasive wording so thought I could still use it so long as I edited out all the “law” stuff, but…lmao yesterday I had him draft a brief about how denying the NTA is not a false USC claim. Brilliant. Just hand over the store Claude

I feel like someone needs to send an email to all Justice Department employees to remind them: investigating private citizens to exact political revenge is, itself, a federal crime.

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

FETTERMAN can now legitimately be blamed for everything ICE does under Secretary Mullin.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

This is HORRIFYING and should scare all of us. ICE is holding people at secret locations for days. We’re demanding immediate answers and a top-to-bottom overhaul of ICE.

The U.S. asylum system isn't broken by accident. A new AILA policy brief documents how the Trump administration has systematically dismantled nearly every pathway to protection. Here's what's happening and what a real fix looks like. 🧵

NEW: The number of families booked into the country’s only immigrant family detention center in Dilley, Texas, plummeted in February by more than 75% compared with a month earlier, according to ICE data obtained by ProPublica.

@RepJayapal Not at the BIA level it won’t be.

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

I strongly believe ICE must be abolished.

[Carrie Coon @carriecoon]

Close the camps. These are human rights violations.

[Mitzi Hellmer @HellmerMitzi]

@Tanvim @ImmCivilRights Excellent work.

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

NEW: Public hearing scheduled for Tuesday for here in DC led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) & Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) featuring "young Americans will offer testimony about their personal experiences being assaulted or separated from their families by DHS agents"

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Utterly illegal and absolutely frightening

[Mitzi Hellmer @HellmerMitzi]

@CBSNews Well, if ICE says it it’s definitely true 🙄

[Mitzi Hellmer @HellmerMitzi]

Jesus Christ these people…

As US starves Cuba of energy & food, neocon Cotton wants DOD to be ready for a "humanitarian crisis," "flow of refugees," or "civil disorder" in Cuba

Southcom is "prepared to support DHS in a mass migration event" including a "camp to deal with those migrants" at Gitmo, he says

[Curtis Morrison @curtismorrison]

Republicans are so close to figuring out who is responsible for causing mass migration. 👀

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Litigation matters. ICE was carrying out arrests so fast they couldn't even provide enough food, water, beds, and showers for people held at processing centers.

[Max Fisher @Max_Fisher]

ICE is straightforwardly a gestapo secret police now, disappearing people at the president’s personal direction for simply crossing one of his cronies
