Some dark context for Trump's promise to "permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries": The Diversity Visa lottery entry period for FY-2027 has already been pushed back. Why is that important? https://t.co/4ts7lFbokR 1/4

Now the fun part! At @RedEagleLaw, we have 4 other challenges to State Dept's continued misinterpretation of 212(f) as an issuance ban pending in California (both CD & ND), Maryland, and Massachusetts. And filing another one soon. We plan to win them all.🫡 10/10

Of note, Trump & Rubio have appealed our Thein victory to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia probably on that issue (they've failed to file a statement of issues 🤡). Nevertheless, we cross-appealed & CADC has set an expedited briefing schedule. 4/10

Most recent victory came from Judge David O. Carter last month. Noori v. Rubio, 8:25-cv-00400 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 24, 2025) (denying motion to dismiss after concluding the Department of State cannot rely on proclamations issued pursuant to § 212(f) to deny visa applications). 2/10

Context: Trump probably doesn't know this, but Section 212(f) DOES NOT give @StateDept the authority to suspend visa issuance. I know because I've won 7-0 on that issue before 5 different federal judges. Let's dig in! 1/10 🧵
Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(f): “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem

These tweets may seem cool to Pete now. Probably not so much when he is on trial for murder.
We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists.

If I had a US visa in my passport I would get here ASAP. It’s not going to get any better.

Note he wrote “remove anyone who is not a net asset to the U.S.” Not: remove every green card holder who… Not: remove every criminal alien who… Not: remove every H1B who… He wrote anyone.
🚨 "I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions... & remove anyone who is not a net asset to the U.S., or is incapable of loving our Country..." - @POTUS

They pretty much want to ethnically cleanse the United States of anyone who doesn’t descend from the Mayflower. Don’t think for a minute they’re just talking about other people. They’re talking about you.
The stakes have never been higher, and the goal has never been more clear: Remigration now.

Just consulted with young couple. US citizen petitioned her Yemeni fiancé abroad, & application refused under travel ban. I had to explain how they must married & start over with new I-130 & process will take 3-4 years. Another example of Trump causing pain to a US citizen.

"From Big Tent to Bonfire" is right.
My new Black Friday Special Substack is out. How the American Right lost the middle and why attacking legal immigrants, platforming extremists, and normalizing Indian/Hindu/Jewish hate is political suicide. This is the truth nobody else will say. Read here ⬇️

The idea that we should freeze all migration because one of the CIA’s death squad recruits went on a rampage is absurd. Smarter would be to stop training death squads.
