Immigration & border in a nutshell: "Since Congress last updated the number of new arrivals the country will admit each year — a tiny fraction of whom are allowed to come in permanently to work — the economy is more than twice as large." https://t.co/HsmR91uefI 🧵1/

One North Dakota hospital’s stalled pursuit of foreign-born nurses underscores how the legal immigration system is failing.

Heartbreaking and important piece by @NidiaCavazosTV begins with the death of a grandmother who raised one of the detainees. She died of a heart attack, unable to endure the emotional stress of not being able to communicate with her grandson https://t.co/bYv1lJf0Uo via @CBSNews

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

The Alien Enemies Act was last used to imprison Japanese, German, and Italian immigrants during WWII. Now, Trump is using it to deport people without due process. Read my op-ed with former Rep. Mike Honda on why we must repeal this law for good. https://t.co/7GG0M83xbB

“It is clear the trans-Atlantic relationship, as was, is over, and there is, at best, an indifferent disdain,” said Nathalie Tocci, director of Italy’s Institute of International Affairs. “And at worst, & closer to that, there is an active attempt to undermine Europe.” @nytimes

Brand new Trump EO launches an offensive to impose proof of citizenship requirement for voter reg in all states & to bar states from counting mail ballots received after Election Day. Another case of him pushing red state rules on blue states. Very high-stakes litigation ahead

@RonBrownstein When Kansas imposed proof-of-citizenship to vote in 2013, the law ended up blocking 30,000 citizens who were eligible from voting, and federal courts ruled the law unconstitutional.

“Don’t cry. This isn’t Venezuela,” she told her brother. “They have a justice system here.” Soon after, he was sent to El Salvador’s mega-prison. Reportaje tremendo, ⁦por @arelisrhdz⁩ ⁦@marialuisapaulr

Deportation proceedings are often shrouded in secrecy. But lawyers say the lack of information about the Venezuelan migrants deported under the Alien Enemies Act is nearly unprecedented.

Since ICE believes throwing the horns is a sign of gang membership, here's a photo of a man who ICE is saying they can label a "Gang Associate" in their internal systems because he is "exhibiting one Gang Membership Identification Criteria."

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player tortured by the Maduro regime who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum and has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

NEW! The Trump administration ADMITTED last night that many of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison are people with NO CRIMINAL RECORD. Stunningly, they argue that because they DON'T know much about these people, that justifies denying them due process!

Criminalizing dissent is part of the authoritarian playbook. And it is being followed step by step by the Trump Administration. We should all be alarmed and standing opposed, because authoritarianism thrives when we surrender our right to dissent.

NEWS: Last night, DHS detained a Palestinian who helped lead Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead. https://t.co/4t2RByUI1x

Ben Archer Health Center is turning away KIDS & patients without birth certificates to prove citizenship, at school clinics and other clinics. This is NOT okay. We have a measles outbreak and skyrocketing grocery prices, and Donald Trump is focusing on THIS?!

Erik Prince is a war profiteer whose Blackwater company engaged in serious human rights abuses in Iraq. So the idea of him getting within even five feet of the deportation system is chilling.

Migrants are being deported to countries they aren't from. Families swept up in raids and children denied lawyers. Immigrants with no criminal convictions sent to Guantanamo Bay with little to no transparency. Trump's anti-immigrant agenda of chaos and cruelty is on full

FACTS: "There are proposals from Republicans to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid." THIS is what it would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care #HandsOffOurMedicaid
