@kyledcheney @ReichlinMelnick In fairness, if they keep transferring massive numbers of people to Texas and Louisiana, the circuit split makes no difference. It just incentivizes detainee transfer to the 5th for the time being.

So I wouldn’t necessarily say “the dam has broken.”

@ReichlinMelnick For context, the author of the decision was appointed by this administration’s Attorney General 6 months ago for precisely this reason. This is not an objective tribunal, and this is not a neutral arbiter.

@YaBoyCoots When they were in the cup finals in ‘97 and the rest of the teams in the city were absolute garbage, sure, but that was by default

@danorlovsky7 It’s a great place and Slim’s is an Eagles bar so your family can feel right at home!

@ReichlinMelnick Correct me if I’m wrong but this seems to only impact people initially released on humanitarian parole under 212(d)(5) and not those who were not previously apprehended or those released on conditional parole at the border?

@CarolLeonnig @MattGertz @MSNBC @FBI @TheJusticeDept $50k in cash and he still dresses like a yutz

@kylegriffin1 Bear in mind in immigration court proceedings, the prosecutor is an employee of DHS and the judge is an employee of DOJ. So technically, both the prosecutor and the judge answer to the same person, making our jobs as immigration attorneys that much more impossible.

@David_J_Bier Releasing a convicted felon from incarceration, in the hope of convicting someone who had never previously been charged with any crime.

@ReichlinMelnick @DaleMichael1234 Yeah I doubt Dale Michael has read Kilmar’s rap sheet. But you know who probably has? Magistrate Judge Holmes.

@ReichlinMelnick Uhh also, aren’t the “illegal aliens” as she terms them, his constituents too? Or do they not count as people?

@AlexNowrasteh Ayaan’s opinions on the border and due process are about as useful as Bill Ackman’s on Russia-Ukraine or Joe Rogan’s on tariffs. She’s clearly not opining from a position of authority or deep understanding on the topics.

@BaniasLaw @ICEgov USCIS and IJs make discretionary determinations based solely on arrests all the time. I don’t think that’s going to fly in a real court though, my friends

[David Spitzer @Spitzerimmlaw]

@David_J_Bier The Immigration Judge is literally *an employee of the DOJ* - anyone familiar with immigration knows this was predetermined and not the least bit shocking.

@steve_vladeck @just_security Last year I tried to make the argument that the Clan de Golfo in Colombia was akin to the govt, esp in places that lack a strong state presence, and an Immigration Judge and the BIA basically Mutombo finger-wagged my argument, rejecting it out of hand. We shall see.

@ckuck @ICEgov I hope you’re ready for all the people who were vaccine experts and then become experts on Russian-Ukrainian warfare to now become experts on the INA.

@JamesSurowiecki Any immigration lawyer could tell you immutable in our context, and likely here as well, means “cannot be changed” or “should not be expected to change” (as in religion or deeply-held political belief).

Here it’s an overly restrictive interpretation of the word “immutable”.

@ackocher Apologies if it appeared on your list last year, but “Streets of Gold” by @leah_boustan and Ran Abramitzky perfectly combines empirical data with captivating stories, to provide practitioners immense pride in their work as well as the people we represent: https://t.co/Vv8b6GPSZf
