Thank you @davidjbier.bsky.social for, as usual, hitting the nail precisely on the head. Every single word of this.

Lawyer (mostly brief writing). Chicago. Fan of immigrants. 375 F. Supp. 3d 280, if you want a good read.....
Today, even more Haitian (now former) TPS holders were summoned into an ICE office in Ohio and placed in ankle monitors. Clergy prayed for them before they did so. I found this really powerful.
From a conservative radio host in Ohio. If your premise is "Haitians in Ohio can afford houses but Americans in Ohio can't" and your explanation for that is not "maybe the Haitians are harder workers and/or more reliable employees"....maybe think about why that is, my dude.
This is how DHS is publicizing the end of TPS for Haiti. Ghoulish doesn't begin to describe it.
Please, please PLEASE contact your Senators and tell them to co-sponsor Senate Bill 4814 which will legislatively extend Haiti's TPS. Please.
ICE plans to target Haitians as Temporary Protected Status is set to end, sources say
The plans include arresting migrants in Ohio and quickly putting them on deportation flights to crisis-stricken Haiti, the internal documents indicate.

To all Haitian TPS holders and their supporters. I'm so sorry. I wish there was more we could have done. I'm broken.
It was an honor to argue Trump v. Miot on Wednesday in the Supreme Court. I've been representing Haitian TPS holders in my pro bono practice for about 8 years. I've come to know them well. They're fantastic people and they make our country better. Please keep your fingers crossed for us.
I went to law school with Will Stancil. I have nothing more to add, just wanted to join the Topic Of The Day.

Holy crap. Our TPS case was featured on one of my favorite podcasts--Serious Trouble. @kenwhite.bsky.social, thank you for reading the decison and featuring it!
According to the government, President Trump's statements about Haitians--that they're eating dogs and cats, that they "all have AIDS" and that Haitians are bad because they come from a "shithole country"--are really just statements about public policy and don't indicate animus.
The government filed its emergency application for a stay in our Haiti TPS case. The government characterizes our argument as that Haiti is "unpleasant."
The government just appealed Judge Reyes's ruling against the Trump Administration in Miot v. Trump, the Haiti TPS case in front of Judge Reyes. Seems they are in quite a rush. Please send good vibes, prayers, etc our way. Our clients are wonderful people and they deserve a victory.
This was projected on the screens at the church service/rally held today in Springfield, Ohio in support of Haitian TPS holders. It's exactly how I feel right now.

Guys is it super awesome that ICE agents are openly wearing Trump iconography while on the job or nah? (Full video below)
I feel like when your bank texts you a nine-digit access code for 2FA you should be allowed to be off by one digit and still login.
I would love for a reporter to ask RFK Jr. to define "mitochondria."
Vance is that guy who went to law school, heard academic-y buzzwordy phrases, and deploys them to sound smart in arguments. "Over and under-inclusive" "Let's put that to one side" "That's a second order problem"

Taking "he literally told us he was gonna do all this" to a whole new level.
Am thinking about going to the protest tomorrow. It's about showing I'm against Trump, sure, but mainly it's cuz I heard on Fox that protestors are paid pretty well and after the last couple days I could use the extra scratch.
So rude of him to talk about Skadden, Wilkie, and Paul Weiss this way.
Ten years ago "President Trump Threatens to Invade Greenland" woulda been an Onion headline.
