“We knew it wouldn’t give us good data,” said Lynn Cowles, health and food justice programs manager at left-leaning think tank Every Texan, which advocates for better health care. The aim of the governor’s executive order is “reflective of the governor’s true intention which is to make this an unfriendly place for immigrants.”

“ On June 28, 2024, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 8752, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act for FY2025.
Buried inside the bill is Section 229, which mandates that undocumented immigrants in removal proceedings be placed under electronic GPS monitoring—such as ankle bracelets or smartphone tracking—until a final decision or deportation.“

ICE RUNS DOWN AND BEATS FATHER OF MARINE IMPRISONS IN INHUMANE FACILITY
The Cost of Being Undocumented by Alix Dick & Antero Garcia, 2025
An undocumented activist and a social scientist come together to tally of the structural costs of undocumented life
An inhumane math pervades this country: even as our government extracts labor and often taxes from undocumented workers, it excludes these same workers from its social safety net.
#PopeLeoXlV #revMichaelPham #ice #undocumented #immigrants
I like this new Pope because he is woke, contrary to the evangelicals , this one cares about immigrants;
“ The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV has called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.
Rev. Michael Pham, who was named bishop of San Diego, California, by Pope Leo in May, wrote a letter about the action on Wednesday“

How L.A. Raids Ignited a New Fight Over Immigration
#LosAngeles is home to the country’s largest population of #undocumented immigrants. So when President #Trump’s #immigration raids arrived, many expected trouble.
from #NewYorkTimes [gift article]
Reporting from Los Angeles and Washington
Published June 14, 2025 Updated June 16, 2025, 10:14 p.m. ET
"But on June 6, as [#ICE] agents swarmed the premises, dozens of employees at the warehouse and at a second facility nearby fled their workstations, ducking between shelves and inside boxes.
[...]
One of the workers, Tomas [...], who has three U.S.-born, college-educated children and has lived in Los Angeles for three decades, texted his son Carlos at around 10 a.m.
[...]
When Carlos arrived at the downtown warehouse a few minutes later, [he] was already gone. Carlos stood in disbelief as his father’s co-workers were hauled away and their loved ones screamed, cried and bid them goodbye."
Now that #Trump has effectively admitted that many #undocumented ppl are vitally needed workers, the logical next step is to fire #StephenMiller, withdraw #ICE from L.A. and other places where they're not wanted, and apologize.
#AOC :
"They are removing the #legal #status of people having the legal status, and then having the audacity of calling them #undocumented.
The current administration is against legal status of #immigration, and removing legal status

So it’s not #legal vs #illegal "

How Republicans Are Dismantlin...
@zackwhittaker Of course this is horrible on multiple levels, but if it discourages #undocumented people from seeking medical care, it will eventually harm the health of everyone by promoting the spread of disease. The ancient principle of #FAFO will kick in.
"The vast majority of people here without papers have committed no other crimes, but of course their not having papers is for the far Right the most unforgivable crime of all, and it has nothing to do with crime statistics, actual laws, or even the imaginary line between 'illegals' and good decent hardworking immigrants who did it right and are in the US legally.
For instance, see this Twitter post Saturday by 'Derek Guy,' the pseudonymous online-famous menswear guy who pokes fun at the terrible fashion sense of rightwing jerks. Our link goes to 'Xcancel.com,' which reproduces Twitter without direct traffic to the Muskoverse, so feel free to click and read it. Guy briefly notes his own history as an American in every aspect but the papers, recounting how his family escaped Vietnam to Canada, then came to the US when he was still a baby. His father overstayed his visa, and as a result, Guy is an undocumented immigrant"

#WhiteHouse deputy chief of staff #StephenMiller told #ICE agents not to focus on #gang members and #violent #criminals and abandon any target lists when seeking #undocumented people to arrest, WSJ report. Instead, he gave them the directive to "just go out there and arrest #illegal #aliens" at #HomeDepot and other places they might gather, according to the report. “Who here thinks they can do it?” Miller reportedly asked a crowd of ICE agents in late May. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/protests-los-angeles-immigrants-trump-f5089877 #teargas
