“Military lawyers are not trained to serve as immigration judges… even with some additional training, it would be a tough task for military lawyers to learn the process, which is different from the military justice system they are trained in.”

#DHS is also now ~”advertising substantial incentives like a signing bonus of up to $50,000 and as much as $60,000 in student loan repayment. It has expanded the officer recruitment age, which was generally 21-40, to all people 18 and over, and has shortened training periods to get agents in the field faster.

“It has (also) launched a prolific social media campaign, featuring memes and imagery that critics say echo white supremacist ideologies.”

“Recent DHS recruitment advertisements have used language like ‘Defend your culture!’, ‘Secure the Golden Age’ and ‘Want to deport illegals with your absolute boys?’”

Capital B News - Atlanta · Atlanta Protesters Rally Against Kemp’s National Guard Order Supporting ICEBy Madeline Thigpen

Georgia’s Republican governor is actually helping trump’s #ICE moves in the state.

And #Georgia has a high number of people in #ICE detention— the difference from other states is that ICE finds a lot of people to detain who are already incarcerated in local prisons (instead of on the streets or at Home Depots, etc.).

Mins after she wrapped up a hastily scheduled hearing Sunday afternoon, 5 charter buses pulled up to a plane parked at the border airport in Texas. Hours earlier, *authorities* walked dozens of passengers—perhaps 50—toward the plane in a part of the airport that’s restricted to #government planes, including #deportation flights. The passengers were wearing colored clothing that is used in government-run #shelters for #immigrant #children.

“During the hearing… the planes involved were currently on the ground, though one may have taken off and returned to the U.S. with the children on board.”

“The episode is reminiscent of the extraordinary rush to halt President Donald Trump’s effort to summarily deport more than 130 Venezuelans to an anti-terrorism prison in El Salvador in March, using his wartime authority under the Alien Enemies Act.”
