[another vicious criminal off of our streets /s]

Jordan Cunnings, the legal director at the Innovation Law Lab, which represents the 23-year-old, said he entered the United States 19 years ago, has worked as a firefighter for the last three years and lives in an Oregon suburb with his family.

The firefighter had been the victim of a federal crime and had cooperated with law enforcement’s investigation of the crime, Ms. Cunnings said, which qualified him to apply for a special type of visa for victims of criminal activity. He applied in 2018 and has been waiting for a decision from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services since then.

The Sooknanan Monologue

The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend until Judge Sooknanan entered an order to stop it.

#ICYMI last week a #Drumpf federal judicial appointee dismissed the administration’s unprecedented lawsuit against every district judge in #Maryland, in which #WhiteHouse sought to force a wide swath of #immigrants into immediate #deportations.

In his ruling, Judge Thomas Cullen — an actual #Drumpf court pick — blasted the current Stephen Miller-ified administration for trying to “smear and impugn” the judiciary, rebuking the #DJT administration's ever escalating attacks on citizens and the concept of constitutionally mandated judicial independence.

#Sabotage: Trump admin:considering a plan to send about 600 MIL ATTYs to work temp as IMM judges, as the WH pushes tothe rate of #deportations.

“Aside from whether these indivs are properly trained & are being selected only to rubber-stamp desired outcomes *another example of the Trump admin dangerously conflating IMM & the MIL” -L Gelernt, ACLU.

“Another authoritarian step toward militarizing civilian funcs… JAGs: no training or exp.”

Cobb, in her ruling “in defending this skimpy process, the Govt makes a truly startling ARG: "entered illegally:must accept whatever grace Congress affords them."

Cobb: “in applying the statute to a huge group of ppl; living in the interior of the country who've not previously been subject to expedited removal,the Govt must afford them #DueProcess.”

Cobb’s decision, if it remains in placecould sig hamper: Trump admin’s #Deportations.

Judge Jia M. Cobb rejected what she called “a truly startling argument” from the government.

A federal judge on Friday blocked the #Trump admin from carrying out fast-track #deportations of people detained far from the southern border, removing, for now, one of the cornerstones of Trump’s campaign to carry out #MassDeportations.

Reverse migration. A decimated food system. ICE raids in communities across the country. What impact is the Trump administration's immigration policy having on the United States? @RollingStone created this @Flipboard Storyboard full of articles that attempt to answer that question.

“This would constitute the latestescalation in the Trump admin’s push to DISAPPEAR THE VULNERABLE UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN entrusted to (the ORR’s) care,violating ORR’s child welfare mandate & this C’s long-established obligation to these #children...”

Your tax dollars at work keeping USian streets safe:
US Customs and Border Patrol Wednesday sent agents to check the immigration papers of firefighting crews who were in the middle of fighting Washington state’s biggest wildfire of the year, hauling off two members of a privately contracted wildland fire crew.
Federal deportation stormtroopers spent nearly 3 hours harrasing firefighters who were working to contain the Bear Gulch Fire, which has been burning since early July.
Sadistic fiend Stephen Miller must be proud.

"HUDis sending a notice to the DC Public Hsg Authority, requiring them to share citizenship information of tenants within 30 days or potentially risk losing their fed funding.

Admin plans to send the same notice to all 3,000+ PHA’s across US."

Thankfully 2 snr HUD offs: a sig number haven't shared ctz info with the govt, or were simply never collecting that info in the 1st place.

"BParrested 2 firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.

When the other mems of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a BP agent told the crew member“you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
-A R-Melnick

Over 3 hours, fed agents demanded ID from the mems of 2 prv contr crews at WA's largest active blaze.

The #TrumpRegime's #Gestapo reflect their leaders disdain for America & #iimmigrants.
