Hey! Yes, you can make a FOIA request for things like this. The easiest phrasing would simply be to request “a list of all DHS ORR facilities where female detained migrant children who have been separated from a family member at the border.” The request would be best filed with DHS ORR (or DHS in general), and less so…

Hey! So glad you want to help out. So I would strongly suggest reaching out to one of any of the many organizations who are in LA who will know best how to plug into this community as a pro bono attorney. Some organizations that might know more are:

Unfortunately, deportation is considered a parallel civil action that is technically not “punishment.” So even though he was fully punished for his crime, deportation is just a “collateral consequence” that can occur at any time after the conviction. It sucks but that’s how the law works.

The linked article which says he had an 18-year-old conviction?

Yeah, that sucks but also is super common. Until relatively recently (within the last decade) there wasn’t nearly as much sharing of information between state and federal criminal history databases. This means that ICE might not know that a person had a state/local conviction until the person applied to renew the…

“The family of a 62-year-old man says ICE detained their father despite the fact that he’s has permanent legal status.”

Thank you for the personal story. It’s definitely a tricky switch but I’m leaning towards doing it.

The chart above shows that both narratives are correct; in the first three years of his presidency, he was arresting and deporting very high numbers; ICE was arresting people at almost double the rate that Trump is doing now. During those three years, internal deportations and border deportations were roughly equal;…

That Obama chart really does show how much activists going after him before the 2012 election really did have an effect:

It... depends. If they sponsored the people when were citizens, they’d be fine (unless the other person was still in the process). If they sponsored them when they were still green-card holders, it could potentially cause issues for those kids or other family members who were in essence “piggy-backing” off of someone…

Bureaucracy will allow it because there is no need to determine intent on a form, especially immigration forms. The instructions available for such tell you that omissions and inaccuracies are grounds for denial.

I’d heard some of you immigration attorneys had filed suit against Sessions already for his traumatizing and otherwise utterly spurious crimes against humanity at the border.

Except, after 9/11 they terminated many green cards in mass and required everyone to reapply.

FemShep for life!

I mean, why stop at taking their children away and losing track of them, then putting YELLOW armbands on the asylum-seekers? Why to just go whole hog and tattoo them and load them onto trains?

Jesus, I just had a wonderful thought about how slowly proceedings would move if all the translators went on strike. Hmmm.

Ugh I know I also want to play that. I am a sucker for the Katniss Everdeen types in videogames, for some reasons.

Your husband and his family are almost certainly fine. USCIS’s effort is going to target “immigrants who were ordered deported and are suspected of using fake identities to later get green cards and citizenship through naturalization.” So unless that applies to your husband and his family, they don’t need to worry.

Nah, they’d almost certainly be fine. You don’t lose a green card if you move away for a while; you just get put into a sort of “time out” zone if you’re gone for more than 6 months where it’ll be up to the border officer to decide whether or not to let you back in or to place you in immigration court to formally…
