Immigration Sr Editor @KQED. The Wind Doesn't Need a Passport: Stories from the US-Mexico Borderlands @ucpress. Alum @ucbsoj, @sfchronicle, @IWMF. Mama, stepmom
NEW: Remember Aliya Rahman, the Minneapolis resident whose image went viral earlier this year after ICE agents violently dragged her out of her car as she was driving to a doctor’s appointment?
Today, she sued the U.S. government. https://t.co/MPC2P2v9ij
An elder of the Hia-Ced O’odham tribe told ProPublica the remains were found by a National Park Service archeologist.
Contractors for Customs and Border Protection have been bulldozing land parallel to the international divide to build a wall.

OVERNIGHT: Attorneys for Iranian ICE detainees say the Trump administration was seeking to hurriedly deport 10-11 Iranian nationals back to Iran (via Pakistan) in violation of court orders. This follows a similar planned flight of Afghan nationals stopped last week by a court.
Exclusive:
ICE investigated how dozens of immigrant detainees died.
Our @kolyn_cheang and @stjbs got the records.
The findings are ‘damning’

Overnight, federal immigration agents gathered in force outside of the ambulance bay at Adventist Health White Memorial Medical Center in Boyle Heights, effectively sealing off a critical entrance. For patients and families in medical crises, that presence was frightening at the worst possible moment.
A hospital should be the one place where people feel safe. No one should have to think twice about receiving care or fear that a loved one's treatment could be interrupted because of their immigration status.
I condemn ICE's actions and call on the Trump Administration to stop all immigration enforcement in and around health care facilities. Hospital leadership also had a duty to step in right away to protect patients and neighbors, and by all appearances, that did not happen.
All of Los Angeles stands with Boyle Heights, and we will use every lawful tool available to protect the community. Because in Los Angeles, we stand together, and we fight.
NEW -- a new TRO from a New York federal Judge effectively allows the Trump administration to move ahead with deportations of Afghans to Pakistan. A new stay blocks the deportation of 5 individuals, which could be expanded if a class is established. https://t.co/IxeQxJskoc
Eyes are on how DHS could shift immigration practices: watch the quieter policies.
For weeks @kreighbaum + I heard from attorneys whose clients were denied citizenship for a new reason: they paid taxes during extension period or while on a payment plan. https://t.co/2iVpbROOqt
While California appears likely to reject a billionaire wealth tax, San Francisco’s results show residents’ support for the proposal falling along neighborhood lines.

The Texas backstory: ICE attacked Latino communities as though they were all criminals. Abbott gerrymandered their districts thinking they wouldn’t notice. They showed up to vote Trump’s MAGA Republicans out. #Texasvote#LatinoVote@camiloreports
Make that two newsrooms an elected official who may rise to the halls of Congress did not, at least for some time, let into his election night party https://t.co/3U4ZX3J2Hw
No surprise that a Tejano star’s political watch party is defined by music. The crowd was just treated to a performance by Los Mariachi Brothers. The 3 McAllen students/brothers who were detained by ICE earlier this year.

(1/2)❗️The ICE Air removal flight that was expected to carry Afghans to Pakistan today has been postponed. Due to pressure from veterans, advocates, members of Congress & Americans across the country, no Afghan nationals will be deported today.
California y Texas, las dos grandes economías estatales de Estados Unidos, serán gobernados por demócratas hispanos, ambos de origen mexicano.
Vaya día.
A judge ordered a man released from ICE detention. ICE agents immediately rearrested him.
"Once again, the cruelty appears to be the point," Judge Crews writes, ordering the man released again and warning of contempt proceedings. https://t.co/NUIXDGt521
Thousands visited the city’s Mission District for the traditional procession, which honored recently passed community leaders, like Dolores Huerta and Ricardo Peña.

JUST IN: Judge Caproni has barred the Trump administration from conducting — until at least Saturday — any deportation flight of Afghans to Pakistan, which advocates fear might lead to a handover to the Taliban.
