It took the media a while to catch on to the fact that ICE = student absences. But now that the media is covering the educational cost of deportation, students are using their absences as a form of protest. And I love it. https://t.co/lJZsCXHhG4

Raiding the Heartland https://t.co/bCbmcbcxwf - Great book coming out on Sept 23 by @lopez_wd…rural communities are not discussed enough from my perspective as books regarding immigration policy often focus on diverse urban areas. Excited for something different…

Congratulations to @LatNewsletter board member @lopez_wd on his new book!
It's here! It's hard to relay the feeling of holding your book in your hand for the first time. Before today, it's only been a file on my computer, but something about a paper book makes it so real. Times are dark right now, yes, but I'm going to celebrate, just for a moment.

If you have an upcoming appointment with a USCIS field office and need interpretation services, you are now responsible for providing your own interpreter. If you are unable to find an interpreter in time for your appointment, you must reschedule your appointment by contacting

This actually makes it even more grotesque. Of course the first people to die have pre-existing health problems. Starvation is a eugenic policy which first kills off the weakest and sickest. Israel acts like proving "preexisting health problems" is a defense. It's an indictment.
We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.

[Cue DHS origin story] Govt changed Immigration & Naturalization Services to Department of Homeland Security in pursuit of funding & militarization. "Homeland" required a foreigner & "Security" required danger. Viola. It's now about protection from the "dangerous foreigner."
The Promise of America is worth Protecting. The Future of our Homeland is worth Defending.

A reminder that this painting is about manifest destiny. It is not about defending what’s yours. It’s about taking what’s not yours though slaughter.

Because they identify themselves as “police.” Which they are not. Everyone-even ICE-knows that the purpose of this is deception. ICE calls them “the ruses” and defines and teaches them in training.
Why are you demonizing American law enforcement officers with outright LIES @ChrisMurphyCT? They are enforcing the LAW that Congress created. When they conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks to protect themselves from being

If the US Govt believes he’s a gang member and human trafficker, take it to court and prove it. Until then none of these things are true.
This is a LAWLESS judge. This MS-13 gang member, human trafficker and illegal alien will never walk America’s streets again.
