Minor roadblock for TOM today. TBD how long it’ll take to clear before it’s full steam ahead again for the Head of Hate. “The Supreme Court early Saturday morning paused the deportation of immigrants potentially subject to the Alien Enemies Act, freezing action in a fast-developing case involving a group of immigrants in Texas who say the Trump administration was working to remove them. In the meantime, the court said, “The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court.”

I think TOM and the gov don’t quite realize that email is so last century. But of course it’s likely their plan actually hinges on that fact. “Now, for hundreds of people already at US colleges and universities, it is turning into a one-way ticket back to their home countries as President Donald Trump’s administration continues an aggressive effort to revoke visas and push academics out of the country – whether voluntarily or in handcuffs.” And they’re receiving this ultimatum via email. Given very little notice to vacate the premises, students are scrambling for attorneys and help. “Some foreign students say the first notice they received about their visa revocation was not from ICE but their school. Meanwhile, many universities got no formal notice of their students’ visa revocations and found out only by seeing a student’s name in government records, school officials say.”

“But a number of students who have been told via email by the Department of Homeland Security their visas were revoked are getting the message they must “self-deport” within seven days if they want to avoid being arrested.

“Do not attempt to remain in the United States. The federal government will find you,” one such email says, according to Boston immigration attorney Nicole Micheroni, who said she received the message apparently intended for a client.” We will find you. Nice. So now we’re Al Capone?
