Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: I have read different things.

Finally done with this declaration: a product of months of archival research.

As I told the litigators: keeping up the fight, especially if it means I get to go to the archives, is what is keeping me sane.
This is horrifically cruel. “A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months at Florence Correctional Center died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth, a local official in Chandler said Tuesday.” An excruciating and wholly preventable death. No words are adequate.
Seattle folks, I'll be back in the city this weekend - come hang at Mam's Books in the International District for my book launch and conversation with Moon-Ho Jung!

Out latest on US subterfuge and Mexican neglect in handling removed 3rd country nationals, especially Cubans. US deportation agreements w/ far flung countries are CRAZY, but vast majority of 3rd country nationals end up in Mexico-- this needs ATTENTION!

My book has a cover! IN LATIN AMERICA YOU COULD BE FREE: AN AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY tells the story of the place and promise of Latin America in the political imagination of African Americans and of their movements to the region in the antebellum period.
Out on Basic Books, November 11, 2026! 🥳
This stinks at every level. What refugees desperately need after their claims are accepted is the stability to rebuild their lives. This change will cause immeasurable stress and anxiety to some of the most vulnerable people in the country
People who seek asylum are not bogus and are actually seeking asylum.

This brief is beyond excellent.
Making my way through the amicus briefs filed in support of respondents in Trump v. Barbara and more than 10 of them address the risk of statelessness in a fairly significant way. Many others at least mention it in passing. A thread on the most significant arguments re: statelessness 1/
First page of the constitutional draft of the US Virgin Islands Fifth Constitutional Convention.
#TBT: The Fifth Constitutional Convention of the US Virgin Islands passed a proposed constitution, sent to President Barack Obama, who submitted it to the US Congress on February 26, 2010. Disagreements over sovereignty, legal advantages, and the bill of rights led to the draft's rejection.
I think it’s telling that ICE’s rouses target the most prosocial human behaviors, as though they understand our universal impulse to help and support others in need, as though they aim to kill those very impulses as they tear apart our society
CHRIST this was a bitch to alt text (my phone camera is allergic to this font) but it was worth it so we could enjoy this scorching hot Catholic tea together
they just flat out said the SCOTUS Catholics are going to hell. which we knew, but maybe they’ll hear it from the bishops!
![As noted, Rosen asserted in his email that "[t]he lawyers in my civil division
didn't deserve" the supposedly inaccurate January 28 order. Putting aside the fact that
the January 28 order was not inaccurate, Rosen failed to mention that this Court said the
following in the show-cause order that preceded the January 28 order:
The Court expresses its appreciation to attorney Ana Voss and her colleagues [in the civil division], who have struggled mightily to ensure that respondents comply with court orders despite the fact that respondents have failed to provide them with adequate resources.
ECF No. 7 at 2 n.1.
The judges of this District have been extraordinarily patient with the government
attorneys, recognizing that they have been put in an impossible position by Rosen and
his superiors in the Department of Justice (leading many of those attorneys- including, unfortunately, Ana Voss- to resign). What those attorneys "didn't deserve" was the
Administration sending 3000 ICE agents to Minnesota to detain people without making
any provision for handling the hundreds of lawsuits that were sure to follow.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreicr5bo7wzyf54cgwvlf5ada722e6fs6b5f2ycbxh33lqnwi57m3ve@jpeg)

If anything is "beyond the pale," it is ICE's continued violation of the orders of this Court. Increasingly, this Court has had to resort to using the threat of civil contempt to force ICE to comply with orders. The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt -again and again and again - to force the United States government to comply with court orders. -5- CASE 0:26-cv-00107-PJS-DLM Doc. 12 Filed 02/26/26 Page 6 of 6 This Court will continue to do whatever is required to protect the rule of law, including, if necessary, moving to the use of criminal contempt. One way or another, ICE will comply with this Court's orders. Dated: February 26, 2026 (s/ Patrick J. Schiltz Patrick J. Schiltz, Chief Judge United States District Court
BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz in Minnesota threatens criminal contempt, if necessary, to address ICE noncompliance in an order calling out U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen's response to Schiltz's earlier questions about noncompliance with court orders.
"ICE will comply with this Court's orders."
