"Unmarked vehicles were the first to arrive outside the Home Depot on South Towne Avenue in Pomona around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, where dozens of workers had gathered outside, according to witnesses and advocates.

"It is unclear how many people were arrested and whether this is part of a larger strategy of targeting undocumented day laborers in Southern California. Immigration advocates say as many as 25 were arrested.

"More than 24 hours later, many of the workers’ family members still have no idea where their loved ones are being held."

FILE - In this July 8, 2019, file photo, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer looks on during an operation in Escondido, Calif. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore says he will comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's request for information on four people with criminal records, becoming the first state or local law enforcement official in the country to so honor such requests among a spate of jurisdictions whose laws sharply restrict cooperation with immigration authorities.

>>The judge’s order says federal officials cannot take the men out of Colorado, which would prevent immigration officials from transferring them to a detention center in another state and then deporting them from there. It also says authorities must provide at least 21 days’ notice to detainees — written in a language they understand — that they face deportation and that they have a right to seek judicial review of their case. <<

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced that the state will take punitive actions against the country of El Salvador for holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia in custody.

“The United States Constitution guarantees due process. We are witnessing Donald Trump erode our fundamental Constitutional rights in real time, and we must fight to restore the balance of power,” said Pritzker.

>>What matters is that acts we once took for granted as virtuous, routine, and safe — telling the truth, representing those oppressed by the state, providing legal aid to the powerless, volunteering to work at a polling site, basic journalism — now carry some risk. They now require some courage. Maybe the government won’t send you to prison. At least not yet. But it can make your life really difficult.<<

"Two crowns over the words 'Mom' and 'Dad.' A Michael Jordan 'Jumpman' figure. A pocket watch that marks the time of a daughter’s birth. These are a few of the tattoos that some lawyers for deported migrants say were used by federal #immigration authorities to label their clients members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and justify their enforced disappearances to a notoriously brutal mega-prison in El Salvador."

Anti-US sentiment over trade policy & fears of the #immigration crackdown overreaching are already hurting #tourism from overseas. Easter travel to the US is looking ~10% worse than last yr -JPMorgan economist M Feroli. A 10% decline in foreign travel would subtract about 0.1% from GDP in 2025. Hit: esp apparent in the hotels & restaurants sector, although foreigners are also impt customers for ED insts.

Likely underestimated, Canadians aren't traveling to the US.

CBCNearly 900,000 fewer people went to the U.S. in March as cross-border travel plummets | CBC NewsThe number of cross-border travellers going from Canada to the U.S. dropped by nearly 900,000 in March compared to the same month last year, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data — easily one of the worst year-over-year drops recorded outside of the COVID-19 health crisis.

#Durbin’s departure will reverberate in the #Senate, where he played a prominent role on a host of big issues & was considered a forceful advocate of party positions. He was among the first to push for a path to #citizenship for some #undocumented immigrants brought to the #UnitedStates illegally as children, a group that came to be known as #Dreamers that became the focal point of successive failed efforts to overhaul #immigration laws.
