The Fed govt knows this likely violates the Admin. Proc. Act. Instead, they’re gambling that a circuit ruling will take months, if not years, and the limits on injunctions will prevent dist cts from stopping it. Until then, thousands will be sent to detention. That’s the point.
NEW: The Trump admin just published a new regulation allowing asylum officers at @USCIS to deny hundreds of thousands of applications without an interview, sending applicants directly to deportation proceedings.
This means many people will never get a chance to argue their case.
28-year-old Sergeant Angel Rampersad, a resident of Ozone Park, was killed last week in an Iranian attack on a military base in Jordan. Her family came together Thursday for a news conference to speak about her life.
🚨 This is reportedly the first ever filing before the Alien Terrorist Court - a court created in mid 90s that has laid dormant ever since. (Partially bc lots of folks questioned the constitutionality of how the court would operate).

A close read of the majority opinion + concurrence shows that SCOTUS' birthright decision is much closer than it appears. It's effectively a 5-4 ruling on the constitutional question. Which is pretty...scary.
This decision could impact 1.3 million people on TPS, some who have been here since the early 90s. This is a devastating loss for millions of American families, and countless employers will soon be losing workers. This is the biggest de-legalization moment in modern history.
oh boy: a federal judge just dismissed the Trump admin's lawsuit against Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, and Paterson over the their sanctuary city policies
BLANCHE: "The United States...is hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing...examinations or similar or related reviews" against Trump "or related or affiliated individuals," including family members or related companies and trusts.
NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push.
It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio.

The New York Times shows the damning evidence that ICE is offloading its racial profiling onto local cops, as we predicted. Abhorrent behavior. A conspiracy against our rights.
Big news on the imm habeas front in the 2nd Circuit. Court strikes down gov't interpretation of mandatory detention for "seeking admission." Link here: https://t.co/kqI2EbBVzl
ICE Beat: Big decision out from Second Circuit: “The government’s interpretation … would send a seismic shock through our immigration detention system and society, straining our already overcrowded detention infrastructure, incarcerating millions..." Story later
