  1. Cross posting from the Daily Texan thread
  2. Apparently the DFW lawyer who advised immigrants of their rights and was then harassed by law enforcement has been fired
  3. Not really out of character for Joel to stand down to protect Dina. We saw him do the same thing in S1 when they first got surrounded by the Jackson Hole crew on horseback and they brought out the dog. He even broke down telling Tommy he was paralyzed with fear and losing his edge. Once he realized they were from Salt Lake, he knew he couldn't talk his way out of it without revealing the Firefly plan and putting Ellie at risk. At least that's my read.
  4. News coming out this morning that maybe the SEVIS terminations are getting rolled back.
  5. House Democrats are asking for answers from law firms who made deals with Trump and raising questions about whether they've violated bribery and racketeering laws. https://min.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/min.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/04.24.25-letters-to-law-firms-on-trump-administration-agreements-all.pdf
  6. There are over 100 men who were sent to CECOT outside the AEA authority. They were sent there, according to DHS, under typical INA processes but there is no clear legal basis for holding them in El Salvador. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-the-fight-to-return-the-other-men-trump-sent-to-cecot From the article, here's one guy who agreed to go back to Venezuela and withdrew his asylum claim, but not he's sitting in a prison camp.
  7. A second judge has ordered the Trump administration to return a second man from El Salvador who was blocked from deportation for different reasons (it violated a prior court settlement).
  8. And in other news, maybe they're getting close to an agreement regarding Abrego Garcia? Maybe not? Who knows.
  9. Wow, this is almost hard to believe but nothing should surprise me anymore. If I'm understanding this correctly, AFTER a restraining order was issued to ICE not to deport 3 individuals, ICE handed them over to DOD who then deported them. ICE just submitted in court tonight that DOD isn't a defendant so they didn't violate the TRO.
  10. The lie from DHS here is especially shocking. "Yeah, we arrested this American citizen and locked him up for 10 days, but it's his fault because he told us he's from Mexico and wanted to turn himself in." Seriously, what in the ever loving fuck is that.
  11. Also in that Colorado ruling, the judge is saying Alien Enemies Act likely doesn't apply.
  12. Updates out of Colorado:
  13. There's understandably been a ton of focus on the El Salvador deportations, but all this noise about college students getting yanked out of SEVIS is nuts. The transcripts from these court cases where no one can explain what any of this means is wild.
  14. Apparently this guy had his status reinstated last Friday. No explanation on why it was revoked or why it was reinstated. https://www.abc4.com/news/wasatch-front/byu-phd-student-will-not-be-deported-lawyer-says/
  15. Linked story has more context https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/18/abrego-garcia-deported-tennessee-traffic-stop/83156188007/ and here's the full DHS release https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25901936-hsi-referral-abrego-garcia-redacted/#document/p1
  16. Missed this before my prior post. Sounds like deportees are already getting loaded onto buses after less than 24 hours notice. DHS might be trying to test the Supreme Court's definition of "reasonable".
  17. ACLU is filing motions in multiple courts out of fear DHS is getting ready to deport more people to El Salvador under the AEA.
  18. To quote Judge Brian E. Murphy in US District Court today responding to DHS's lack of due process: "All nine sitting justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Assistant Solicitor General of the United States, Congress, common sense, basic decency, and this Court all disagree." https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.282404/gov.uscourts.mad.282404.64.0.pdf
  19. To clarify, he wasn't granted asylum. He applied for asylum, but you have to apply within a year of entering the country so it was denied. He was granted protection from removal, which I've heard is more rare and a higher bar to clear than asylum.
