This man is a U.S. citizen by birth. Why did ICE mark him for deportation — again? Well, it’s a question that cuts right to the core, doesn’t it? The case of Miguel Silvestre, a man born in the U.S., targeted not once, but multiple times for deportation, highlights a worrying trend. The story is a real head-scratcher, especially when you consider the fundamental truth: U.S. citizens cannot legally be deported.
The obvious, yet deeply troubling, reason for this repeated targeting seems to be the color of his skin and his last name, and his appearance. This isn’t exactly a secret, is it?… Continue reading
The Trump administration’s recent budget bill allocated a staggering $170 billion over four years to fund mass deportation efforts, including significant expansions for detention facilities, ICE operations, and border wall construction. This unprecedented level of funding has made ICE the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the country, fueling concerns about the potential for increased human rights abuses and the rapid expansion of detention centers. To meet the administration’s aggressive deportation goals, ICE is embarking on a massive hiring spree, seeking to add thousands of new agents despite warnings that rushing the hiring process will likely lead to lowered standards and increased misconduct. This situation mirrors past instances where rapid expansion of law enforcement has resulted in a deterioration of quality and an increase in problematic behavior.

The Canadian government will end its funding for federally-funded hotel housing for asylum seekers by September 30, 2025, a measure that has cost approximately $1.1 billion since 2020. This decision impacts the 485 asylum seekers currently housed in Ontario and Quebec hotels. While the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will assist in finding alternative housing, advocates and experts express concerns about the limited availability of affordable housing and municipal shelter capacity, especially in cities. Additionally, the government has recently cancelled plans to revamp the asylum system and proposed border laws will likely create new challenges. Community organizations, many of whom are already stretched thin, fear the end of funding will lead to increased homelessness for asylum seekers.

Contrary to reports, U.S. immigration authorities have denied detaining or deporting a Chilean man holding a green card. The Morning Call of Allentown, Pennsylvania, initially reported that 82-year-old Luis Leon was deported to Guatemala after visiting a Philadelphia immigration office to replace his lost green card. However, the Department of Homeland Security stated it has no record of Leon attending an appointment and that he entered the U.S. legally in 2015.

In a significant legal development, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has ruled that President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, upholding a lower court’s nationwide injunction.

The court’s ruling affirmed the district court’s interpretation of the Constitution, while also addressing the issue of nationwide injunctions. The case, which was brought by several states, now moves closer to a potential review by the Supreme Court.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is broadening its arrest practices, targeting individuals connected to those they already consider criminals. This expansion comes amid protests against immigration raids in the Los Angeles area, with the government also focusing on people aiding protesters or identifying ICE agents. These actions follow a federal judge’s order to halt indiscriminate ICE raids, specifically criticizing the use of appearance or occupation as a basis for arrest. Now, those accused of assisting anti-ICE activities are facing prosecution or investigation, as seen in the indictment of a man who distributed face shields to protesters. This broadening of what is considered criminal activity also includes the investigation of individuals providing information about ICE agents.
