Here is a key takeaway from @HunkerPBIII's interview:

"There’s only so many officers. So in terms of large scale, you know, hundreds of people being arrested every day in the community, I doubt we’re going to see that in the short run,’ said Hunker.”

My @dmcaimmigration law partner @HunkerPBIII provided insight into ICE immigration arrests in this interview:

His day 1 actions caught up with his rhetoric. Under the dubious title “Make America Safe Again” he is already “ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens.”

The frequently repeated mantra “don’t believe what Trump says but watch what he does” has no application in the arena of immigration.

Paul Hunker is ready to help business owners prepare for an era of increased immigration enforcement. He brings his experience of 30 years of work with ICE.

DMCA is ready on Day 1.

As we prepare for Trump 2.0, Paul Hunker's insights on the inner workings of ICE are incredibly useful. Here Paul addresses his experience with worksite enforcement immigration raids.

🚨The Keeping Families Together lawsuit just went into warp speed. Judge Campbell Barker denies DOJ's motion (filed yesterday!) to vacate his stay, and sets a schedule for briefing *for the entire case* to conclude by September 16—with a possible bench trial on September 18!

The 5th Circuit lamented “That Momin has no recourse for what may be a series of mistakes by the government is cruel but legally compelled.”

Why should agencies be given such unchecked power?

[Lance Curtright @LCurtright]

“An agency may err about the facts, the law, or even the Constitution and NOTHING can be done about it.”

J. Gorsuch’s comment from his dissent in Patel v. Garland was realized in a decision from the 5th Circuit entered yesterday.

[Lance Curtright @LCurtright]

Much of the problem stems from SCOTUS’ 2022 decision in Patel v. Garland. The little known decision divests courts of jurisdiction over USCIS decisions, which they held for years.

[Steven Brown @AttyStevenBrown]

H/T to @rnlawgroup attorney @JackyJ_atty for notifying me that USCIS has published its July 2024 data report for Congress. Absolutely insane that 1.29 million I-765s are pending and 538,601 pending more than 6 months. Also almost 200k EB I-485s pending

If the parole program is allowed, the recipients will file for lawful status immediately within the US. They will obtain temporary work authorization and most of the States’ allegations about harm will be taken care of.

But why let good policy get in the way of politics?

[Lance Curtright @LCurtright]

As predicted, the district court entered an order temporarily staying the Biden parole in place program yesterday.

Here are some takeaways on the ruling and the case moving forward.

[Lance Curtright @LCurtright]

While waiting for the appointment at a consul post, the noncitizens will be here, some without lawful status. While staying in the country undocumented the States will bear all the associated costs they complain about in their suit relating to health care, insurance, etc.
