Dear Reporters, including @NickMiroff@aflores & others, please stop saying the Biden admin was “forced” to restart MPP. The D Ct order permits the Biden admin to terminate it w a new memo. They've had TWO MONTHS to write it. I could've done it in a weekend. This was a choice. 1/

“The jury is still out on how the Biden administration will approach Ice’s shockingly failed program,” @MarkowitzPeter told @guardian. "I hope they will look hard at this research and realize the profound harms of the program.” #FacultyWithImpact https://t.co/sA5SYwpTtI
