#Volunteers flock to #ImmigrationCourts to support #migrants arrested in the hallways

SEATTLE (AP) — "After a Seattle immigration judge dismissed the deportation case against a Colombian man — exposing him to expedited removal — three people sat with him in the back of the courtroom, taking his car keys for #SafeKeeping, helping him memorize phone numbers and gathering the names of family members who needed to be notified.

"When Judge Brett Parchert asked why they were doing that in court, the volunteers said Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers were outside the door, waiting to take the man into custody, so this was their only chance to help him get his things in order. '#ICE is in the waiting room?' the judge asked.

"As the #MassDeportation campaign of President Donald #Trump focuses on cities and states led by Democrats and unleashes fear among asylum-seekers and immigrants, their legal defenders sued this week, seeking class-action protections against the arrests outside immigration court hearings. Meanwhile, these volunteers are taking action.

"A diverse group — #FaithLeaders, #CollegeStudents, #grandmothers, #retired #lawyers and #professors — has been showing up at immigration courts across the nation to escort immigrants at risk of being detained for deportation by masked ICE officials. They’re giving families moral and logistical support, and bearing witness as the people are taken away.

"The #NorthwestImmigrantRightsProject was inundated by so many community members wanting to help that they made a volunteer training video, created '#KnowYourRights' sheets in several languages and started a Google sheet where people sign up for shifts, said Stephanie Gai, a staff attorney with the Seattle-based legal services non-profit.

" 'We could not do it without them,' Gai said. 'Some volunteers request time off work so they can come in and help.'

"Robby Rohr, a retired non-profit director said she volunteers regularly.

" 'Being here makes people feel they are remembered and recognized,' she said 'It’s such a bureaucratic and confusing process. We try to help them through it.' "

Surprised by this? NOT!
Traditional Plagiarism = Out
AI Powered Misconduct = Growing

Survey of academic integrity violations i the UK found almost 7,000 proven cases of cheating using AI tools in 2023-24, or 5.1 for every 1,000 students, and increase from 1.6 cases per 1,000 in 2022-23. Indications are it will increase to ~ 7.5 proven cases per 1,000 students. Discovered cases represent only the tip of the iceberg.

In 2019-20, before the widespread availability of generative AI, plagiarism accounted for nearly two-thirds of all academic misconduct.

This tragic event sparked widespread outrage and led to the largest student strike in U.S. history."

The #FarRight Group Building a List of Pro-Palestine Activists to Deport

#BetarUS said it has shared with the Trump administration a list of the “names of hundreds of terror supporters.”

"This conflation of speech critical to #Israel with #antisemitism or support of Hamas will do little to protect Jews in the United States from hate, said #JonahRubin, with #JewishVoiceForPeace, a progressive #JewishAmerican group that advocates for #Palestinian #HumanRights."

"The premise behind Trump’s more recent order is rooted in #ProjectEsther: a treatise by the authors of #Project2025. The document was billed as 'a blueprint to counter antisemitism' and offered strategies to target and silence critics of Israel, including deportation. A fact sheet about the executive order related by the Trump administration mirrored language from Project Esther and laid bare the order’s intent to 'cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses,' vowing to deport 'all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests.'

"Such ideas are increasingly gaining purchase in conservative discourse. Pledges to deport supporters of Palestinian rights were a key part of the Republican Party’s platform. A congressional bill introduced last May called for similar measures.

"#Academia is a key focus of Project Esther and Trump’s executive orders. While the most recent order instructs all agencies within the executive branch to take part in the crackdown, it encourages #surveillance in specific areas, such as #universities and even K-12 schools, where administrators are being told to monitor and report #InternationalStudents for possible deportation.

"On Monday, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights launched investigations into five schools — #ColumbiaUniversity; #UCLABerkley; #NorthwesternUniversity; #UniversityOfMinnesota, Twin Cities; and #PortlandStateUniversity — for #antisemitism, the first use of the executive order.

"'Americans and college students that visit the United States should be able to protest the #Israeli government’s human rights violations in the same way that the United United Nations, the International Criminal Court [#ICC], #AmnestyInternational, #HumanRightsWatch, and other respected institutions have for the past several years, without fear of retaliation,' said Robert McCaw, a leader with the Council on American-Islamic Relations who heads the government affairs department. He decried the order’s fact sheet of peddling anti-Muslim terms such as 'pro-Jihad.'"

"Trump’s efforts have inspired a grassroots campaign to identify possible targets for deportation. On #SocialMedia, groups such as #MothersAgainstCollegeAntisemitism and the #ChicagoJewishAlliance have shared links to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement tip line and called on people to report 'foreign students and faculty who support Hamas' and 'students on visas who are suspected of engaging in pro-terror activities,' respectively."

#RosanneBarr was acting totally normal at a #KariLake struggle session in which she got drunk, and slurred her way through insisting that #collegeStudents drop out because college is all about #Satan worship, and drinking the blood of babies. Instead, she encouraged all these new drop-outs to email her so that she can help them with their life. I wish I was joking, but this all really happened.
