The observation that Trump hasn't distinguished between Somali migrants and citizens, whether naturalized or born on American soil, is a salient one. There are no assurances that this administration will do its due diligence in checking people's legal status before trying to deport them. As a result, the humanitarian crisis in the United States is primed to get that much worse.
The Somali immigrants are much better people than the ones running the tyrump administration. I have lived among them. They are generally smarter and much more honest and law abiding than the tyrump himself. Let's keep the immigrants and get rid of MAGA (as a political movement).
Take note: this is all part of Stephen Miller's plan to undo what he considers the "Great Replacement of White Americans." It is as racist as it gets and no one is better suited to empowering it than Trump. I've often wondered/fantasized about what an appropriate punishment would be for Trump were he to be, finally and forever, convicted of his many crimes. Now I know: a one-way ticket to Mogadishu, no return possible, only one suitcase and a toothbrush.
Mogadishu is too nice, I say put him in CECOT, after America has clawed back every penny trump paid them. Then tell Bukele if he lets trump out he will take his place.
Legal people need to look at the implications of how a single 'hatchet woman' judge can be funneled cases from other jurisdictions on-line, distorting the whole system to Trump can attack an elected congresswoman of Somali origin - who happens to be ethical and brilliant.
How do people become so cruel and so hateful? Stephen the Miller is an example of a young person who had everything: white, male, American, educated, and yet he his heart was so filled with hatred. He has nurtured this bigotry that has found power and a soulmate in Twump. Marco Rubio is dangerously close to jail time. He can share a cell with the Miller. This judge is a real prize and, once again, draws eyes to the Deep South, not even a place but an old tired racist ideology. What happened to this judge? When did she inject hatred? As it is said, hatred isn't something you are born with, it is something you are taught. All of these white supremacists have risen, like rancid cream, to the top of the power rungs in the U.S.. I suggest we pull the ladder down and let them cannibalize each other as they have their eyes picked out by big black birds Caaaaw.
The article makes the important point that Immigration judges are not actually judges in the sense we understand the word. Once again, we see a system that Trump and his enablers are manipulating because it rested on norms rather than on specific rules when it comes to appointing immigration judges.
Is there a court case to fight the ending of TPS for Somali refugees? I know that there are cases in court for other groups.
At the core of all of the problems with immigration everywhere is that of identity. Everyone understands it at a deep, visceral level, but it’s devilishly difficult to define at an intellectual one. It boils down to the question of “Do you want to be an [American] of [Somali] heritage or do you want to be [Somali] living in America?”These are very different. The MAGAs answer is to adopt such a cramped, narrow view of an “American” identity that nobody can qualify. The immigration advocates, on the other hand, fail to grapple with the question at all.
You have to visualize a Venn diagram with the two sets of cultures/values and how much they overlap. The more overlap the better. Unfortunately, we tend to focus excessively on more superficial cultural trappings than on core humanity of caring for each other.

tRUmp is turning the US into hell, and all he does is bitch and complain (and lie and commit crimes).

So many thanks for another scalding malfeasance exposé, Judd.

Excellent work
But I fear for those 93,000 naturalized Somali-Americans. I'm sure Trump and Miller are looking for a way to deport them too
Again this shows us that Trump/Miller/Noem will stop at nothing to achieve their nefarious aims.
It is a program of ethnic cleansing. Trump sponsored.
thanks for the reporting, as always, one day every single one of these terrible people must be held accountable
Haitians are next too with revoking TPS and I’m sure this terrible judge will be called on to be horrific to those migrants as well.
And let’s add all the contributions Somali immigrants make, economically and culturally.
