Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court – the very phrase seems like something out of a dystopian novel, doesn’t it?

The sheer absurdity of it is almost too much to bear.
The thought of a three-year-old, ripped from everything familiar, stripped of comfort and security, facing the intimidating environment of an immigration court, is truly horrifying.… Continue reading
In Boston, on December 4th, immigrants approved for naturalization were unexpectedly pulled from line at the oath ceremony by USCIS officials.

New data reveals that over one-third of the approximately 220,000 individuals arrested by ICE during the first nine months of the Trump administration had no criminal history, contradicting the administration’s stated focus on criminals. This data, obtained through a lawsuit, indicates that nearly 75,000 people without criminal records were swept up in immigration operations, despite the administration’s claims of targeting violent offenders. The figures show that ICE field offices were under pressure to increase arrests, though they fell short of daily targets set by White House officials. Additionally, the data highlights that Mexican nationals accounted for the largest share of arrests, and the ongoing enforcement is having a significant impact on companies that employ migrant workers.

Trump’s administration has been attacking various groups, including immigrants and female journalists, with insults and lies driven by animosity and a desire to recreate a white America that never existed. These actions, such as ICE raids, disproportionately target people of color and are often inhumane, failing to serve public safety while terrorizing communities. Coupled with attacks on reproductive rights aimed at boosting white birth rates, these policies are a form of bullying that exposes the incoherent nature of those promoting them. Despite these efforts, the demographic future of the country is not being redirected, and there is significant resistance from communities defending their neighbors.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on the constitutionality of President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship via executive order. This decision offers the court the chance to revisit a settled legal issue, potentially upending a long-standing tenet of American law. The case stems from an executive order signed in January, and while lower courts have unanimously rejected the administration’s arguments, the Supreme Court’s ruling, expected by the end of June, could have significant implications for citizenship and immigration. Arguments will be heard next year and will likely hand down a decision by the end of June.
