*a relatively quick deportation for someone who’s been detained after living in the U.S. takes about two weeks. Most deportations take about several months. Many deportations take years.

Close to 1,000 people were taken by ICE today. Deportation takes time*, and that’s why people go detention first. At this rate, the approximately 41,000 detention beds will be full soon. Sure, there’s a new bill to expand beds but I’d keep an eye on the possibility of mass camps.

“She’d ruled on hundreds of asylum cases over the previous decade—and hadn’t granted asylum in a single one.” To appreciate just how much justice can depend on the judge you draw, you've got to read this maddening story by @MonteReel1 @cynduja. 🎁@bw link bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Outrageous story by @cynduja and @MonteReel1 shows how wildly asylum seekers' chances vary depending on where their cases are heard. Gift link: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Thread: When I first moved from Mumbai to Silicon Valley 7 years ago, I recall stopping by a Sunnyvale chaat shop that played a Shemaroo tape of an ’80s Mithun Chakraborty movie, a reminder that immigrants sometimes live in a bygone era. I thought that would never happen to me.

It's a way to “fight” climate change that’s easy, cheap and...ineffective. Why is the government using it pad its environmental stats? From ski slopes in CO to flaming garbage in FL, this @reveal episode looks into a dirty secret of "green" energy: revealnews.org/podcast/its-no…

Government agencies have been buying cheap certificates … so they can claim green power without actually using it. And they come from places like biomass plants burning toxic wood and a giant trash incinerator. New from @reveal with @Jib821: revealnews.org/article/govern…

Also, if India is that indispensable, why torture high-skilled immigrants without giving them green cards? This is a piece is totally unhinged in reality.

I’m sorry did the economist talk to any Indians before they wrote this tweet? “India does not love the west”? Someone just put on some Bollywood or look at tourism numbers …

What a photo. In S.Korea, a growing number of venues like cafes, casual bistros, or even public libraries ban children under the "no kids" banner, supposedly not to inconvenience other patrons. One MP criticized the "exclusionary" practice in a presser, with her toddler in tow.

Honored to be part of a team that won the @opcofamerica award. Thanks @RadioIke for this lovely capture.
