BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org & partners just sued ICE over a nasty catch-22 ICE detains people, takes their IDs & work papers, releases them, keeps the papers. Now they can't work & risk getting picked up again for having no ID We're going to court to get it ALL back -TN

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

The OPT rule is out, and it's a mess. DHS is aware that this rule will be challenged in court, but didn't even bother to do a defensible analysis of the costs. For example, their estimate of costs that this rule will impose on the public over 10 years is a range between $241 million to $29 billion.

Having spent 6 years in the Army back in the day, I can tell you that one does not run behind a sweating alcoholic if one can help it. The fumes are toxic.

Records obtained by @americanoversight.org: "The Trump administration reduced training for officers whose departments agreed to help ICE from four weeks of in-person education to 40 hours of virtual training last year as part of a broader effort to expand the agency’s footprint across the nation."
