I devoured two vacation reads already, both focusing on themes of migration, anti-Asian racism and resistance. Both totally addictive. Highly recommend both. And the author of Dandelion (@jcyliew.bsky.social) is from Ottawa, with scenes set in Chinatown.

Great post from Bijal Shah on administrative law and immigration law under the Trump regime.

Abandoning Administrative Law During a Presidential Immigration Crisis

While the Administrative Procedure Act can constrain the worst abuses of the Trump administration's immigration regime, the Supreme Court has shown little appetite for such administrative review.

American. Citizens. Cannot. Be. Deported. I know we all want to be concise, but we simply cannot use the shorthand terms of the fascists when they describe wildly illegal & unconstitutional things. Extrajudicial renditions. Kidnappings. Wildly unconstitutional fascism. All right there as options.

Supreme Court of Canada is scheduled to hear the Kanyinda case in 2 weeks. I'm honoured to act as counsel for @fcjrefugeecentre.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy & @madhucentre.bsky.social in their joint intervention. We argue the Canadian Charter must meaningfully protect substantive equality of migrants.

Identifying and finding the remains of murdered women feels like the most sorrowful of victories, the least a state can do. It almost didn't happen.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Winnipeg police confirmed the identity of Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe to be Ashlee Shingoose. Ashlee’s father Albert Shingoose had one request for Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew: sing a song.

While Ukrainian is the official state language, many Ukrainians speak Russian, a consequence of centuries of Russification under the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.

"The intake began with slaps. One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, 'I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.' I believed him. But maybe it’s only because he didn’t look like what I had expected—he wasn’t a tattooed monster." time.com/7269604/el-s...
