This has been a problem from the beginning. Dismantle ICE… Native Americans are U.S. citizens. Reports of ICE questioning and detaining Native Americans, including challenges to tribal IDs, should concern every American. Don’t tell me this is only about immigration status anymore.
We very much enjoyed @gardencourtlaw.bsky.social infographic explaining the rather convoluted efforts that the state has gone to to supress juries and persecute Rajiv Menon KC.
If you see someone online ignorantly claiming that entry into Ceuta entails entry into mainland Spain/the Schengen area, here's the text proving otherwise. (Plus almost everyone who entered Ceuta returned within a day)

…embarrassing how von der leyen, weber & some ms pms (wilders & meloni) backed a subversive instrumentalisation attempt vs. an eu government engineered by the international far right through trump… idiocy, institutional disloyalty &/or a will to undermine the eu in a racist key? they should resign…

Ah, I had thought that the Tories were jumping on poor journalism from the Times re immigration - in fact the party was the *original source* of the false claims, which the paper neglected to check or clearly attribute. Incompetent, unprofessional, dubious, and xenophobic behaviour all round.
False reports about migrant care workers came from Conservative party 'research' The Times was forced to issue a correction after claiming 12 workers from Cameroon brought 180 dependants to UK

I mean if we had 'open borders', no one would bother with small boats to enter the country. (plus there would be no immigration detention)
The one thing I can't posdibly do is mention that small boat crossings are down by 44% this year, because scare mongering about this is the central pillar of my whole grift.
It's embarrassing how politicians lose it over rescues that don't match their absurd idea of emergencies but when 150+ people die because no one is there to rescue them for 25 days, they couldn't care less. Only 38 people survived. https://tinyurl.com/yvwa93u6
