“These legal orientation programs are often the ONLY way that immigrants held in detention can talk with a lawyer.”
-A Reichlin-Melnick

Trump & the oligarchs are pocketing millions from private detention facilities (prison camps). Denying asylum to undocumented immigrants by various nefarious means, guarantees the need for more facilities & everything that’s required to operate them.

A Twitter post from user @Tanvim discusses the termination of funding by the Department of Justice for legal programs that assist immigrants with rights training, legal education, and counsel in deportation cases. The image includes a formal termination notice from the DOJ dated April

No such resistance emerged this time.

In recent weeks, #DHS’s requests shifted, acc/to a senior #SocialSecurity ofcl. #Immigration agents began meeting w/ #DOGE reps at the agency to discuss how they could achieve their larger goal of pushing out tens of thousands of migrants that #ICE was struggling to apprehend & deport, the official said.

That request soon morphed into the idea of placing immigrants into the deaths database….

#DHS, meanwhile, at first made less intrusive requests….Agents spent much of Feb & March trawling through years of records in E-Verify…to identify potentially fraudulent #SocialSecurity numbers…. Agents then reached out to Social Security asking for help preventing this type of fraud….

DHS also requested that SSA staff turn over the addresses of undocumented immigrants so #ICE could track them down for #deportation….

There's always big money to make from illegal immigrants - even when they're about to be deported... :-/

"After this story was prepared for publication, Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted on a federal procurement website that it had awarded a new contract worth up to $3.8 billion to Deployed Resources to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss. It is the largest contract the company has received and the first time ICE is moving ahead with plans to detain thousands of people arrested in the U.S. on military bases in tents before they are deported."

Don’t leave and try to re-enter the USA. Just don’t do it. Example elventy million:
““There were so many people in this room. A heavy percentage of them were from South America. I met a girl from Berlin. There were a bunch of people from Canada. There were two Brits.””

You're kidding right? Her work on cells and aging is a threat to US security? I guess that's true if it means longer lives for the fascists in charge.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement has twice refused her lawyer’s petition for parole, contending that she is a flight risk and a threat to U.S. security."

You're kidding right? Her work on cells and aging is indeed a threat to US security? I guess that's true if it means longer lives for the fascists in charge.
