Pumping up arrest stats? And apparently this operation started in 2016. Pre-dated der Fuhrer.

It only makes sense if you are after the recruiters, not the poor saps who got screwed when they believed the recruiters.

Every once in a while, I’m remind that the America that I love still exists. In Utah of all places

Trump gave states the power to ban refugees. Conservative Utah wants more of...

Bipartisan backing for refugees suggests limits to the president’s nativist politics.

It’s all so encouraging that no states have taken up Trump’s offer to ban refugees.

Welcoming the stranger is a pretty big thing for Mormons, if I recall.

Utah supported Trump,even though the support was low. I suspect he doesn’t really care what they think about his program so long a they keep doing that. I wonder if his stance here is enough to push them the other direction. It’s not a hypothetical anymore, after all, and our immigration policy now is just so awful.

I doubt they love immigrants more than unborn babies and low taxes, so unlikely.

Well that’s just horrible.

Also, the flu is not a minor thing, get your flu shots.

This is the Nativity display outside the Claremont United Methodist Church in California. It's making some people very upset. And it should. 1/ https://t.co/PN0XmS4Ora

US Border Officials Are Issuing Fake Court Notices To Keep Out Immigrants Who...

In recent weeks, at least four people have been sent back to Mexico after being granted asylum, an attorney told BuzzFeed News.

On Nov. 21, the decision from Tijerina came in: “IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent’s application for asylum pursuant to Section 208 of the Act be GRANTED.”

But what happened next is what immigration advocates and attorneys say is a troubling and apparently new trend of US officials going out of their way, including issuing fake court date notices, in order to keep even those who have been granted asylum out of the country.

With his court order in hand, Francisco traveled four days later to the port of entry — the same place where he had first applied for asylum in July — with his attorney. He gave the 14-page document to a US Customs and Border Protection official and requested he be let in.

Instead, a border official took Francisco aside and gave him a notice for a nonexistent court hearing in January
