My friend is a lawyer who sues insurance companies. But lately he's found himself acting as an immigration lawyer in Minnesota. Last week he got seven people back. But as of yesterday the law changed and now people who are in Texas, Louisiana and one other state are lost once they go there. We can't get them back. Because the law changed last fucking night.

@FranceskaMann WTF. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like basically every time a lawyer filed a habeas corpus petition for anyone snatched by ICE the judge agreed that the person was wrongfully detained and ordered their release. What the hell changed overnight??
Last Friday three panel judges changed section 1226 of title eight. Three states, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana no longer release folks with habeus. The 2 nastiest judges gamed it. They waited until they were both on the same panel. Next step is the 12 panel judge will vote. This is called En blanc. If that fails it goes up to SCOTUS. For now, detainis in those three states, once deported, are out. This will change. But there's a window for the fascism.
luckily, my lawyer friend and I were at the same party on Sunday. He had told me about this at a different event on Saturday. in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana, for now, we can't get people out with habeas. So those states are trying to push people out as quickly as possible. Folks would have to reapply to get back into the USA. We have to get rid of Trump and his minions. The pedophile people. Evil to the core.

My friend got seven people out and they told him about the conditions inside Trump's concentration camps. Dirty underwear, toilets covered in blood and feces, disease, the lights are on 24/7. These are torture camps.
Our taxes pay for thousands of human beings to be tortured, starved, not given clothing. We have to fight. We have to get every person back. No one gets left behind. They need to know we're fighting for them. They need to know they are loved.
