Imagine paying hundreds of dollars you don't have to renew a permit you've already renewed, submitting biometrics the government already has, just to lose your internship waiting indefinitely for an answer. That's the reality many DACA recipients are facing.

Got a lot of reposts for antisemitism thoughts this morning but I’m not a professional Jew. I am a professional immigration analyst. And as a professional: pay attention to this, it’s important. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
I didn’t think the flying saucer could be funnier but I was so wrong. The comic timing is 100% pitch perfect
Many immigrants who have been detained for months or years in Louisiana are filing habeas petitions, which in turn has swamped federal judges’ dockets and made it nearly impossible for judges to act quickly on these emergency pleas for release.
I just can’t even
SCOTUS announces an additional opinion day on Tuesday. I expect 4-5 opinions then.
Love for my cortisol supplies to survive another day.
Justices Gorsuch, Sotomayor, and Jackson concur in Hunter v. US to get pretty close to saying that plea bargaining is unconstitutional. Worth a read.
This is BIG. After spending over $1 BILLION on the purchase of multiple commercial warehouses that ICE planned to convert into the largest jails/prisons in the nation, ICE is now largely abandoning the idea and will aim to sell off multiple warehouses at a loss.
USCIS doesn’t have to deny applications to derail lives—it can just stop deciding in a timely manner.

This video appears to confirm it was a Russian air-defense missile — not a Ukrainian drone — that blew up that Moscow refinery’s storage tank today, creating the "flying saucer" footage. (This video was shared on Telegram by Russian military expert Yan Matveev.) t.me/arrowsmap/11...

The Supreme Court's third and FINAL opinion of the day is in the Rooker–Feldman case. (Yes, that takes an en dash.) So no huge ones today. I suspect the court will add at least one opinion day next week. A real logjam behind the scenes, it seems. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

A Trump-appointed federal judge ruled that Salah Sarsour must be released and that he is likely a victim of retaliation for speech
NEW — I wanted to know if ICE’s newly
uncovered plan to offload seven of the 11 concentration camp warehouses was actually a big deal, so I went straight to the expert: Michael Wriston of @projectsaltbox.com, which has been tracking these warehouses every step of the way.
