This decision puts even more pressure on plaintiffs and district courts outside the 5th Circuit. Unless the habeas is filed before a person is transferred to the 5th Circuit, a person may remain locked in appalling conditions, never even allowed to ask for bond.
AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.
NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week.
It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...
But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.
What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one
I’m demanding Sec. Noem provide an explanation for this abhorrent policy & that my Republican colleagues hold hearings & join me in demanding the Trump Admin answer for this lawlessness. 6
Garrison Keillor based his whole career on mocking and celebrating these aspects of being Minnesotan, but he rarely if ever exaggerated it. The women are strong, the men good looking, the children are really all above average.
You probably don't know what SEQRA is - but you should know that it's slowing down the housing that we need. Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg is here to explain why reforming it is key to cutting red tape and building more housing.

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement:
She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
Nurses are the backbone of our health care system.
Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with nurses at Northwestern Medical Center in Vermont. They are doing a great job.
I look forward to working with them to improve wages and working conditions at the hospital.
curious how the major press outlets would cover a mainstream dem referring to Alabama as a backwoods nowhere represented by people who don't own shoes and go by "coach"
One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!
The full text tells us that the following exceptions to the immigrant visa restrictions on the travel bans have now been eliminated:
- Immediate relatives (children under 21, spouses, parents) of US citizens
- International adoptions
- Afghan Special Immigrant Visas
Inevitably some of these visa applicants will have US citizen children
We actually sort of had this! eyeondesign.aiga.org/the-u-s-gove...
This is exactly what the bosses who put Trump into office were trying to achieve. Crushing the tight labor market from the early Biden years that gave workers - for the first time in my adult lifetime - leverage over their bosses.
this is the same kind of insane logic employment attorneys use literally every day in union fights
This very much aligns with my experience teaching over the last few years
The administration just announced the end of TPS status designation for Burma, which will affect anyone from Burma in the U.S. with TPS status right now.

This is an perfect example of government waste while also managing to be cruel beyond words
Tonight was a very bad night.
I love this
i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.
possibly the most angry I’ve ever seen him on the floor
I know everyone thinks all feds are like GS-15s in NoVa with a consultant spouse pulling down six figures, but in reality land shit is starting to Get Bad even for those of us with decent financial resources
