“These legal orientation programs are often the ONLY way that immigrants held in detention can talk with a lawyer.”
-A Reichlin-Melnick

Trump & the oligarchs are pocketing millions from private detention facilities (prison camps). Denying asylum to undocumented immigrants by various nefarious means, guarantees the need for more facilities & everything that’s required to operate them.

Labeling the Republican leaders who're responsible for these barbarous deportation efforts as Nazis is generous, a new term is needed to reflect their racist, AI-aided, diabolical mindset.

"To issue this memo the same week they cut the Legal Orientation Program that provides minimal assistance to detained #immigrants who've to file asylum applications unrepresented shows how depraved those making these decisions are."
-L Toczylowski

'Britain and other European countries can disrupt smuggling networks and raise the cost of doing business, although unfortunately they are likely to make cross-channel journeys more lethal in the process.'

Iranian refugee: “If you think the smugglers are bad people, I agree with you. It’s a long and unsafe journey, a dangerous journey. But do you think it’s possible to go to the British embassy in Iran and get a visa?”

Back in the courtroom At attorney Prada’s request the judge froze Reyes Mota’s #asylum case for the time being. That way, he could eventually take it up again. That is, if he is ever able to return to the #UnitedStates.

“We can agree that there was no removal order from this court or another court,” the judge said, noting that there was very little he could do.

He has no tattoos & his family members deny he has any gang ties. Had Reyes Mota still been in the #US, his #asylum hearing would have been a commonplace matter. But his absence showcases the remarkable nature of the #Venezuelans#deportation to #ElSalvador. As attys argue the flights were unlawful & violated a federal judge’s order, the #immigration court is navigating the case of an asylum seeker w/pending immigration proceedings whom #Trump flew to another country w/o #DueProcess.

"America cannot be a country where we just willy-nilly pull people off the streets because they have a real Madrid tattoo and we send them to the worst conditions imaginable in another country with no recourse."

~ Tim Miller

But it is, Tim: America now is that kind of country. Some 77 million of us eagerly voted to turn it into that kind of country.
