A man who was detained by #ICE earlier this month is expected to be released on Fri after comm advocates & officials appealed for his release so he can resume the kidney donation process in hopes of saving his brother's life.

His ATTY: "The logistics of his release aren't yet confirmed with ICE, but potentially as early as Fri he could be released.

The duration & the conditions of Gonzalez's expected release are unclear.

Public pressure is effective.

Immigrants may not have the same status as citizens, but they do have legal rights in the United States. Boundaries are being tested as the Trump administration claims broad authority to deport “alien enemies” and others. #immigration #border #immigrants

Interview: "Trump Sends Hundreds of Immigrants to Brutal Salvadoran Prison"

"Their goal is to ramp up deportations.. as quickly as they can.

"Every single day now, new stories are coming out showing that they made a lot of mistakes."

But even when they admit their mistakes, Trump says he won't return those people to their families.

EXACTLY what a #SOCIOPATH would say:

#ElonMusk has a…diagnosis of what’s *ailing* #America: It’s being destroyed by #empathy. In a long interview w/Joe Rogan, in numerous tweets…, #Musk has argued that “empathy” is a “suicidal” trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction. It is time, he believes, for “the West”…to bar its doors to #immigrants of a *certain type* & endure “temporary hardship” so govt can be transformed & “the woke mind virus will die.”

Mother JonesElon Musk can’t take the heatThe numbers say anti-Tesla protests are working. So do Musk's increasingly unhinged actions.

"The Trump admin took the time to revoke a visa of a Nobel prize winner bc he'd criticized Pres Trump."
-AR Melnick

"A vocal critic of Pres Trump, Arias appears to be the most high profile in a string of individuals who've had their visas CXL or been denied entry as the Trump admin bars ppl who it says have “hostile attitudes” toward the US."
-V Bergengruen

Trump should be impeached, but Rs... Public pressure could relegate him to a MAL retirement.

"Here’s a textbook explanation for why due process is so important: the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador, who was included on the third plane full of aliens the Trump administration deported to that country on March 15."

"That this is a lie is a matter of public record. DHS and ICE are not sitting on secret records showing Abrego Garcia is a convict. If they were, they would release them. Instead, the public record is what his lawyers wrote in a filing this week, an assertion the government did not dispute in its response: 'Abrego Garcia has never been arrested or charged with any crime in the U.S. or El Salvador.'"

As Judd Legum notes, having admitted that it made an "administrative" mistake in deporting Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration is now doubling down and claiming there's evidence he's a gang member — when no such evidence exists:

"This is a lie. Abrego Garcia was never 'convicted' of being an MS-13 gang member.

"There is going to soon come a point when it’s going to get harder and harder to write individual stories about each of these outrages, because we won’t be physically able to keep up with Trump’s body count.

But we have to try, and we cannot look away. Don’t forget their names."

"Juarez is a beloved member of the Indigenous Mixteco farmworker community, and there’s been an outpouring of support for him across Washington State and the entire country."

Edgar Franks says, "We believe his detention is politically motivated because of his organizing in the farmworker and immigrant community. We believe he was targeted. The way that ICE detained him was meant to intimidate."

"Twenty-five-year-old Juarez helped found Familias Unidas Por La Justicia, an independent farmworker union in Washington State, in 2013, when he was just a young teenager. He has advocated around issues like overtime pay, heat protections for farmworkers and the exploitative nature of the H-2A guest worker program."

"On the morning of March 25, farmworker organizer Alfredo 'Lelo' Juarez was forcibly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who stopped his car while he was driving his wife to work in Skagit County, Washington. People to whom Juarez has spoken say he requested to see a warrant, and when he attempted to get his ID after being asked, the ICE agents smashed his car window and detained him."

The #Trump admin had asked #SCOTUS to intervene & lift a block on the #deportations imposed by a lower court. But a brief filed on behalf of the #immigrants by the #ACLU & #DemocracyForward said that block is now “the only thing” preventing the Trump admin from sending immigrants “to a prison in #ElSalvador, perhaps never to be seen again, without any kind of procedural protection, much less judicial review.”

"The federal government now stipulates that it was wrong to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison. It admits that it broke the law.

But instead of trying to remedy its error, our government is going to the mat in an attempt to prevent remedy. …

Our government won’t demand the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia because it doesn’t want him here. It wants him disappeared."
