In Texas, the Trump DOJ colluded with Ken Paxton to overturn a state law which allowed state universities to charge in-state tuition rates to some undocumented Texans who had grown up in the state. With Minnesota, they had to sue to attempt that. And they failed.

Looking forward to speaking at Auditorium Shores in Austin at 1:00PM and singing along with my mom and the resistance singers! Come and say hi afterwards at the converted school bus stationed in the back called El Bus Sin Fronteras 🚌 ✨

🚨SCOOP: @AyannaPressley Forces Floor Vote on Haitian TPS House Democrats — with a critical assist from two Republicans — just stripped Speaker Johnson of his ability to bury Haiti TPS. migrantinsider.com/p/scoop-ayanna…

AWFUL. This upholds the crazy argument that for the last 30 years, no one noticed that Congress had actually mandated detention of anyone who ever entered unlawfully. This will effectively foreclose most of the habeas lawsuits coming out of Minnesota, and hands ICE a major win.

A lot has been said about migrant crime, but the data show that immigrants, both legal and illegal, are significantly less likely to be incarcerated. Check out the new research by Cato’s @AlexNowrasteh.

This stuff is basically indistinguishable from nativist propaganda 100-150 years ago against the Irish, the Italians, and the Chinese. And history should remind us that there were massacres and pogroms of Chinese immigrants in the 1880s fuels by some of this rhetoric.

Grady Judd is a conservative pro-Trump, pro-DeSantis sheriff. And here's what he says about the Trump admin's mass deportation campaign.

@DHSgov Liars.

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, a criminal illegal alien, entered the U.S. under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Refuge in August 2021 and provided NO RECORD of military service. His criminal history includes arrests for fraudulent use of food stamps and theft. His parole expired on August 20, 2025. ICE arrested him on March 13, 2026. During intake at the Dallas Field Office, he complained of shortness of breath and chest pain and was IMMEDIATELY transported by EMS to Parkland Hospital. After treatment, his condition worsened the next day, and hospital medical staff initiated CPR. At approximately 9:10 a.m. CDT, a physician pronounced him deceased following multiple resuscitation efforts. No one in ICE custody is denied access to medical care. ICE provides comprehensive medical, dental, and mental health services, including access to appointments and 24-hour emergency care, from the moment an alien enters custody.

“Immigrants—even illegal immigrants—are half as likely to be incarcerated for crimes. According to DHS, only about 3% of illegal immigrants have any criminal convictions,” said Cato’s @David_J_Bier in testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Read full remarks: ow.ly/tGhb50YtzNi

.@RepCasar crashes a media avail by @JohnCornyn at Austin Bergstrom, where Cornyn is delivering lunch to TSA agents and blaming Dems for blocking DHS funding Casar says Cornyn is “trying to out Paxton Ken Paxton,” and blames Rs for blocking TSA funding

"A new way to get released" is quite the way to describe habeas corpus, a right so ancient that it predates the Magna Carta.

South Burlington, VT — ICE agents illegally stormed a residential home, ramming the door and detaining three innocent people, then firing chemical spray, flash bangs, and tear gas to break up protesters. who tried to block law enforcement vehicles from leaving. ICE later admitted their target was not inside and was not captured. via: kimkatieusa #goodmorningbadnews #ice #iceout #trump #vermont

@WhiteHouse We are so unbelievably unserious and embarrassing.

UNDEFEATED.

Talarico: "Here's why they're doing this. There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis crushing the middle class. There's a secret pedophile ring and no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"

Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., said former President Joe Biden reversed U.S. precedent on deporting criminals. That’s False. In the last two years of Biden’s presidency, his administration deported 158,665 noncitizens with criminal charges or convictions. buff.ly/ZrHfLgZ

@DHSgov @TSA Also it’s spring break.

Thanks to the Democrats' reckless shutdown, security lines at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport are stretching OUT THE DOOR. The Democrats' political games are making spring break travel a NIGHTMARE as they continue to withhold funding from DHS and refuse to pay our @TSA officers.

ICE isn't just building detention centers. It's engineering an entirely new industrial infrastructure for mass deportation; modeled explicitly on Amazon's supply chain. Here's the full architecture of what's being built. 🧵

42 new immigration judges and NOT A SINGLE ONE hired from the immigrant defense bar. Zero. One new judge’s last job was compliance at a biotech firm. This comes after they fired/pushed out at least 100 experienced judges they thought might be too willing to grant relief.

I approve this message.
