As @David_J_Bier has documented extensively, Trump's Title 42 policy led to a massive increase in so-called "got-aways," as people were able to make repeated crossing attempts with the only consequence being a trip back to Mexico — no deportation orders and no entry prosecutions.
In just six months, over 50 immigration judges have left or been fired, and all hiring in the pipeline was frozen. And now we’re hearing that the admin was illegally ordering judges to interpret the law in a way the Trump admin wanted.
Immigration judges said they were told **how to rule** by DOJ to aid arrests of immigrants in courthouses.
something I’m not seeing a lot of talk about in regards to the South Park episode is how the famously DIY guys who made a puppet movie for the love of the game deliberately weaponized AI against its most enthusiastic base. That’s a particular “fuck you” that’s being underreported
Gallup reports that Trump is at a net -22%(!) approval rating on immigration (38% approve, 60% disapprove). That is the second lowest rating they've ever recorded for him, just behind -23% in August 2018 (38% approve, 61% disapprove).
Trump’s approval has dipped to 37%, the lowest of this term and just slightly higher than his all-time worst rating of 34% at the end of his 1st term, per @Gallup. Trump’s rating has fallen 10 points since January and 17 points among independents, to 29%. news.gallup.com/poll/692879/in…
🚨NEW: Further stories of the horrors inflicted on people the Trump admin imprisoned in El Salvador without trial are emerging. Three men describes how they were punished by guards — stripped naked, beaten for six days straight as men and women watching laughed and mocked them.
🚨Now that the men imprisoned by the Trump admin in El Salvador are free, their stories are coming out; and they are horrific. One man describes how Salvadoran officials at the prison beat them regularly, stole money from them, and denied them medical care — even painkillers.
This torture was done in your name, fellow Americans.
“All of the ex-prisoners recalled days spent in a punishment cell known as “the island,” a dark room with no water where they slept on the floor. Those days, the only light they could see came from a dim lightbulb in the ceiling that illuminated a cross” theatlantic.com/international/…
Judge Crenshaw on “the government’s poor attempts to tie Abrego to MS-13”: "[F]or the court to find that Abrego is a member of … MS-13, it would have to make so many inferences from the Government's proffered evidence in its favor that such conclusion would border on fanciful."
This is a LAWLESS judge. This MS-13 gang member, human trafficker and illegal alien will never walk America’s streets again.
Judge Crenshaw is now the third or fourth separate federal judge to look at the evidence presented by the Trump administration that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 and laugh it out of court.
Judge Crenshaw on the allegations of MS-13 membership: "[F]or the court to find that Abrego is a member of or in affiliation with MS-13, it would have to make so many inferences from the Government's proffered evidence in its favor that such conclusion would border on fanciful."
This is really surprising. Donald Trump really doesn’t seem like the type that would do such a thing. Maybe Pam Bondi is secretly in the Deep State?
IMPORTANT: The Trump admin initially wanted to pretend that Mr. Abrego Garcia was an "MS-13 leader." Now a FOURTH federal judge has found that the evidence doesn't show even that he's a MEMBER of the gang — and that's after the Trump admin spent months looking for new evidence.

ALSO NEW: A federal judge in Tennessee just granted Abrego Garcia release on bond with conditions, finding that the DOJ did NOT meet its burden to prove that Mr. Abrego Garcia was a flight risk or such a danger to the community that release must be denied even with conditions.
NEW: Judge Xinis bars ICE from immediately detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia if a federal judge in Tennessee grants him release on bail. She relies on her original order requiring him to be restored to the "status quo ante" of his unlawful arrest/removal. DOJ is certain to appeal.

Who gave the best performance in a film where they weren’t the lead character?
What an absolute vicious LIE from DHS officials. The only major border policy in place that impacted Mexicans in 2021 was Title 42, put in place by the TRUMP administration — a policy which CAUSED huge numbers of repeat border crossings and a massive increase in got-aways.
BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested in Kentucky on Sunday for attempting to rape a woman, then murdering her 15-year-old son when he intervened, is a Mexican illegal alien who attempted to enter the US 3 times in 2021, ultimately sneaking in successfully as…

NEW: Our team @immcouncil just released a major new report on Trump’s first six months. We look at three big immigration questions: - Who are we allowing into the US and who are we excluding? - How are we treating the immigrants here? - Who are we forcing to leave, and how?
