NEW: The Trump admin just cut the time that a refugee has to submit a formal response or an objection to a Notice of Intent to Terminate refugee status from the current period of 30 days to just 10 days. This new rule, issued without the normal notice and comment process, goes into effect tomorrow.

In Austin, ICE shot a 28-year-old man named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez yesterday at Anderson and 183 while he was driving for Door Dash. He was taken to the hospital, but his lawyer says they won't give his wife any information about his health or whereabouts.

For folks following along: if lawyers don't know where someone's being held, they can't know which court would have jurisdiction, which means that they can't file a habeas petition, so there's no effective means of seeking relief. I can only imagine there will be lawsuits about this ASAP.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

9th Cir. holds that it violated due process to deny bond hearings for asylum seekers who entered without admission/parole, were screened for expedited removal, and who were found to have a credible fear of persecution or torture. Thuraissigiam does not apply. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
