Another law firm, #MilbankLLP, makes a “deal” with #Trump rather than face his wrath.

Basically the same terms as the other appeasers

$100 Million Dollars in #ProBono [#QuidProQuo] legal services during the Trump admin, & after.

A commitment to *Merit-Based* hiring & employment practices, & it will not engage in *illegal* #DEl *discrimination*.

Today, President Donald J. Trump and Milbank LLP ("Milbank") announce the following commitments regarding a series of actions to be taken by Milbank:

Here is the text of the email sent to hundreds of international #students telling them that
their #visas have been revoked due to #activism or #SocialMedia posts.

[first paragraph] “On behalf of the United States Department of State, the Bureau of Consular Affairs Visa Office hereby informs you that additional information became available after your visa was issued. As a result, your F-1 visa with expiration date XXXXX was revoked in accordance with Section 221(i) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended."

Whoa, yesterday, #Trump illegally stripped #CollectiveBargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers in 18 different departments across multiple #FederalAgencies.

The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”

Is he going to use #wartime powers against #union members now?

#RümeysaÖztürk's filing contains a paragraph each on the similar treatment of #RanjaniSrinivasan, #MahmoudKahlil, #YunseoChung, #BadarKhanSuri, & #MomodouTaal.

It also quotes #MarcoRubio:

In a March 27 news conference, Secretary Rubio reaffirmed that the reason for Rümeysa's arrest & detention was her actual & perceived pro-Palestinian speech & political activity. At the conference, a member of the media asked Secretary Rubio to explain the specific actions that led to Rümeysa's visa being revoked. The Secretary responded "oh, we revoked her visa," & continued: “We gave you a visa to come & study & get a degree not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses. And if we've given you a visa & then you decide do that we're going to take it away. We don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back & do it in your country. But you're not going to do it in our country." Secretary Rubio added: "Every time I find one of these lunatics I take away their visa," suggesting that hundreds of visas have been revoked in furtherance of the administration's Policy of targeting noncitizens for their pro-Palestinian speech.'

#RümeysaÖztürk's attorneys include in their filing that her arrest & detention — without any notice — is not a necessary or usual part of #visa revocation but an experience "designed to #silence her, #punish her for her #speech, & ensure that other #students will be chilled from expressing pro-#Palestinian viewpoints."

The Department of Homeland Security's website informs international students & the schools that host them that the termination of student status may result in a requirement to immediately depart the United States and may lead ICE agents to investigate whether a student has in fact departed. It makes no mention of arresting or detaining students based solely on the loss of status. In this case, however, DHS grabbed, arrested, and detained Rümeysa before she had received any notice of the revocation of her student visa or her student status. Rümeysa's arrest and detention are not a necessary or usual consequence of the revocation of a visa. But like the revocation of her visa, her arrest and detention are designed to silence her, punish her for her speech, and ensure that other students will be chilled from expressing pro-Palestinian viewpoints. Her continued detention is therefore unlawful. Because the government's arrest and detention violate the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act, Rümeysa should be released.

New details of #RümeysaÖztürk's #StateSponsoredAbduction:

A rep of the Turkish consulate went looking for Öztürk at an #ICE office in suburban Massachusetts. Her lawyer called hospitals, worried she might have had a dangerous #asthma attack. [anxiety can induce attacks & no doubt they took her inhaler] & of course, she did have an attack & didn’t have her medication.

A representative of the Turkish consulate went personally to ICE offices in Burlington, Massachusetts and was reportedly informed that Rümeysa was not in that office and that ICE could not provide further information about her whereabouts. Department of Justice counsel on this matter also informed counsel for Rimeysa that they could not locate her. Fearing Rümeysa could have had a medical episode, counsel contacted numerous area hospitals. At around 3 p.m. on March 26, counsel moved this Court for an order requiring Respondents to report on Rümeysa's whereabouts and permit her counsel to speak with her. Shortly thereafter, Department of Justice counsel informed Rümeysa's counsel that she had been moved to a staging facility in Alexandria, Louisiana to be transferred to South Louisiana. Counsel was finally able to speak to Rümeysa late in the evening of March 26. Counsel learned that she had suffered an asthma attack while en route to Louisiana.

In an amended petition for #HabeasCorpus, #RümeysaÖztürk's attorneys—now including the #ACLU—describe her arrest & detention as "part of a concerted & systemic effort by #Trump administration officials to #punish #students & others identified with pro-#Palestine activism."

…Today, we are witnessing the birth of a new #DualState. The #US has long had a normative state. That system was always imperfect. Our #criminal #justice system, for example, sweeps in far too many people, for far too little security in exchange. Even so, it is recognizably part of the normative state.

What the #Trump administration & its allies are trying to build now, however, is not.
