Judge Orders Restoration of DACA, Obama-Era Program for Undocumented Immigrants Brought to the US as Children

Trump Woke Up Early to Send a Racist Tweet About DACA
“Many white people, while clinging to power and privilege, are racist as fuck. Donald Trump has displayed this at every juncture. If Congress remedies this by kicking the president out of office, maybe Republicans will act with common sense.” —M. Harriot While that statement might be a grammatical clusterfuck of baseless opinion, it is also…

Trump's Immigration Proposal, Much Like His Administration, Is Garbage
On Thursday, President Trump is set to unveil a new immigration plan created by his listless son-in-law Jared Kushner—who once auctioned his position in the White House to international investors for green cards—that will lean more toward what migrants will bring to the country, like “genius” Melania Trump, while moving away from immigration based on…

21 Savage's Legal Team Sets It Straight: He Is Not a Convicted Felon, ICE 'Provided Incorrect Information'
21 Savage (birth name: She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph) is currently in ICE custody.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to immediately review lower-court decisions that keep the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program from going kaput, in what has to be a huge relief to DACA recipients, and is yet another blow to the Trump administration.

Trump Wants a ‘Bill of Love’ to Protect DACA Recipients, but Only if He Gets His Dumbass Border Wall
Someone must have taken the old president’s brain out and replaced it with a pot roast because in a magical switch that can only be explained by science and a full-on lobotomy, the president has promised 25 lawmakers that if they can bring him a bill that will extend protections to 800,000 immigrants’ children, he…

Fear and Uncertainty for People Living Under DACA Now That Their Fates Rest With Congress
Cinthya Zapata came to the United States from Mexico and settled in Austin, Texas, with her family when she was only 2 years old. No one from her family lives in their old town of Toluca anymore. So if Congress, over the next six months, doesn’t come up with a solution to Donald Trump’s plan…

They Know They Can’t Win; They Just Want Black and Brown People to Lose Too
