I translate from Spanish and Portuguese to English, teach language and culture courses, and do Spanish<>English interpreting. As my schedule allows, I provide language services pro bono for US non-profit organizations serving asylum seekers.

The Dilley detention center should be shut down immediately. Because of the close-quarter conditions at Dilley, lack of prompt medical response and capacity, and lack of expertise with diseases such as measles, Dilley is not equipped to combat any spread.

Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. βHe was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,β Cuprys told me. βThe client had a valid Florida driverβs license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.β She asked why CBP was alerted. βI was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,β said Cuprys. βI asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.β
βIt depends if you look Hispanic.β

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Thank you for posting this. I just called my Kansas senators.
It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
Monstrous:
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."
This is what Trumpβs mass deportations look like. Iranian Christians seeking asylum being handcuffed by masked ICE agents in front of their pastor.
Radha Maurya, a 10-month-old living in the village of Nausahara, Nepal, is being treated for severe wasting.
The United States reneged on its foreign aid commitments. Nepalβs malnourished children and their families are paying the price.

This should not be happening anywhere, let alone in the U.S. This must stop.

Donβt look away. This is what Libyaβs migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing.
Amnesty International called Libyaβs migrant detention centers a βhellscape,β where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.
