The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There are actually fewer ILJ's today than when Trump took office, because a bunch of them were let go in 2025.

As the regime knew it's intent was to ramp up arrests and deportations, why would they RIF judges, unless their intent was to skip the "due process" part?

Any many of the folks detained on the border that claimed asylum were entitled to one as well.

iirc, the regime is cancelling humanitarian asylum clams, so no need for a hearing for those people either.

...you have to release most of them on their own recognizance until the hearing date.

Yes, the practice was to give them a hearing date, and a work permit, so they could support themselves, as it was a lot cheaper than putting them in concentration camps. Reportedly, a favorite place for ICE to grab people is when they make their scheduled check-in with Immigration, or they show up for their court date.

So, why is the regime switching to concentration camps?

I maintain it's the optics of brown people behind barbed wire, for the enjoyment of MAGA.
