"Last year, [BIA] decisions backed Department of Homeland Security lawyers in 97% of publicly posted cases; that's at least 30 percentage points higher than the average from the last 16 years." https://t.co/lhYTjvR7ko

Professor Michael Kagan and Managing Attorney Alissa Cooley Yonesawa published an essay introducing the concept of "civil rights microviolations." The concept is informed by their experience working in the UNLV Immigration Clinic, and is published here: https://t.co/ZjFWWnfKmp

There are reports nationwide of individuals fraudulently posing as immigration attorneys affiliated with the American Bar Association and offering fake legal services. If you suspect someone is impersonating an ABA attorney, contact our office at 775-684-1100.

We are relieved that a court has ordered our client freed. Due process matters. Good lawyers matter. This is why we go to work, and train students and new lawyers how to do this work. We stand by our neighbors. 🇺🇸 ⚖️🗽👩‍🎓🇺🇸

Holy crap! Never once have I ever seen ICE argue that a GREEN CARD HOLDER accused of fraud should be held in mandatory detention as if they were applying to enter for the first time. And he’s been detained for months because ICE couldn’t get their stuff together!

NEW: More than 300 judges — including 33 appointed by Trump himself — have now rebuffed the Trump administration’s bid to dramatically expand efforts to lock people up while they fight deportation.

They’ve rebuffed the policy more than 1,600 times. Just 14 judges — 11 appointed by Trump — have sided with the administration

NEW: A major shift underway in recent months kicked into high gear this week, with ICE attorneys around the country asking immigration judges to toss out most asylum applications on the grounds of "safe third country" agreements signed with Uganda, Honduras, Ecuador, and others.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

New ICE data show that over 71% of ICE arrests are people without criminal convictions of ANY kind, let alone a public safety threat.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court.

More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. https://t.co/SOaQn2wzk6

[Nevada Independent @TheNVIndy]

The number of people in Nevada’s main ICE detention centers has grown by more than 30 percent since September. It comes as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem acknowledged ongoing conversations about expansions.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

A huge victory in court today which restores the law to what it was before July; that undocumented immigrants without criminal records who are going through removal proceedings have the right to ask an immigration judge to be released from detention on bond.

[Sarah Pierce @SarahPierceEsq]

Bumping for anyone who didn’t see it yesterday.

The Trump admin is diverting agents away from trafficking, child-exploitation, and terrorism cases to inflate deportation stats.

The consequences are showing up in real investigations.

Congress & the public deserves answers.

In a consolidated class action seemingly challenging ICE's mandatory detention policies, Judge Boulware demanded that the federal govt. hand over information on nearly 600 detainees. He's given short deadlines, so expect movement soon. @ACLUNV and @UNLVImmigration are involved.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEW: More than 100 federal judges have now rejected the Trump administration’s new policy to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation — including 12 judges appointed by Trump, according to a POLITICO analysis.

Only 2 judges have sided with ICE.
