For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.

She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.

When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.

DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.

She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

[Patricia Janiot @patriciajaniot]

Trump cumplió con las deportaciones, pero el costo político se vio en las urnas

El discurso de mano dura contra la inmigración ilegal le dio beneficios políticos a Donald Trump, pero una cosa era prometer deportaciones masivas y otra enfrentar sus consecuencias. Parte del electorado terminó rechazando una política brutal e inhumana que ha tenido efectos en la economía y el mercado laboral estadounidense.

Conversé sobre las implicaciones y el futuro de la política migratoria de Trump con el doctor Ernesto Castañeda, director del Centro de Estudios Latinos y Latinoamericanos y del Immigration Lab.

Al final, una política migratoria no se mide únicamente por cuántas personas se pueden expulsar de un país, sino también por lo que pierde cuando se cierran las puertas a quienes contribuyen a su economía.

DHS officials and advocates of mass deportations see Miller's rise as a sign that their side has won the argument within the administration about how immigration enforcement will be handled in the final two years of the Trump administration.

Stephen Miller's promotion isn't the only reason to be skeptical of Trump's "too tough" musings. ICE still has tens of billions left to spend over the next two years. The money will drive mass deportations: https://t.co/IYJuSQGIwg

Award-winning journalist @jeanguerre literally wrote the book on Stephen Miller, Hatemonger. “He is, above all, a sadist," she told me on @connectmsnow.

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

Texas spent years as the nation’s fiercest proving ground for hard-line immigration enforcement. A Democratic sweep in the state signals fresh momentum to curb aggressive ICE tactics across a shifting national landscape on immigration. My latest. https://t.co/WMnjvsMtTn
