It's ALL one fight.
It happens that the current battle lines are drawn at immigrants and trans people, but they won't stay there.
#TransRights are #HumanRights & no person is illegal
The #Republican president also has sought to block federal spending on #gender-affirming #medical care for those under age 19—instead promoting talk therapy only to treat young #transgender people. In addition, #SCOTUS has allowed him to kick transgender #ServiceMembers out of the #military, even as court battles continue. #Trump also signed another #ExecutiveOrder to define the #sexes as only male & female.

The decision comes amid a range of other #federal & #state efforts to #regulate the #lives of #transgender people, including which sports competitions they can join & which bathrooms they can use. In April, Trump’s admin sued Maine for not complying w/the govt’s push to ban transgender athletes in girls #sports.

#SCOTUS on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on #gender-affirming care for #transgender minors, a stunning setback to #TransgenderRights.
The 6-3 decision in a case from #Tennessee effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by #Trump’s #Republican admin & #state govts to roll back #protections for transgender people. 26 other #states have laws similar to the one in TN.

Mustafa Cetin, a lawyer who has been representing a Turkish man working toward citizenship, said he got an email from the facility at 7:37 a.m. on Friday notifying him that “all movement,” including meetings with lawyers, had been canceled “until further notice.”
Mr. Cetin’s client had been detained about two weeks ago after a routine court appearance in Newark.
#Trump #law #immigration #CivilRights #RightToCounsel #HumanRights
…On Friday morning, officials at the #detention facility told #immigration lawyers with clients at #DelaneyHall that phone calls & visits had been suspended, said Karla Ostolaza, the managing director of the immigration practice at Bronx Defenders. The lawyers were told they should check back next week.
“We have no idea what is happening with our clients right now,” Ms. Ostolaza said.
The detainee said that people were trying to break windows & that, at one point, guards seemed to have abandoned their posts….
A law enforcement ofcl familiar w/the details of the escape said that the missing men appeared to have exited through an unhinged piece of exterior siding.
Masked officers carrying plastic handcuffs & pepper spray could be seen entering the facility just after 7PM, & people standing nearby reported smelling a pungent odor.
“People were #hungry & got very angry & started to react & started to rebel against what was going on in the #detention center,” said Ellen Whitt, a volunteer who works at #DIRE, an emergency #immigration hotline. A DIRE staff member received a call about 6PM from one detainee, Ms. Whitt said, & “when we were on the phone with him, we could hear screaming & yelling in the background.”
#Trump #law #HumanRights
The detention center, known as #DelaneyHall, went into lockdown after dozens of law enforcement ofcls responded to reports of a disturbance inside the facility on Thurs evening….
A group of #immigrants inside the facility seemed to mount a revolt on Thurs following days of #unrest over the quality & timeliness of meals, the lawyers & relatives who spoke to the detainees over the phone said in interviews.

…The plan also comes amid intensifying #legal efforts to block the admin from using #Guantanamo Bay to house #immigrant detainees altogether. A federal class-action lawsuit pending in Washington indicates that there are roughly 70 immigrant detainees currently held there & facing “punitive” conditions, such as insufficient food, weekly changes of clothes & rodent infestation.

Some 800 Europeans — including 1 Austrian, 100 Romanians & 170 Russians — are being considered for the transfers, acc/to one of the documents. That element of the plan has alarmed some US diplomats, who note that most #European countries are American #allies that are cooperative in taking back deportees & that there’s no need to send the people to #Guantanamo.
#Trump #law #immigration #Gitmo #Guantanamo #rendition #CivilRights #HumanRights
The discussions come as the #Trump admin presses #ICE for higher arrest numbers, w/snr policy adviser #StephenMiller calling for 3,000 #arrests a day. The agency is also tight on #detention space & pushing for funding from #Congress to hire more agents & expand domestic detention capacity.
#law #immigration #Gitmo #Guantanamo #rendition #CivilRights #HumanRights
The official reason for the transfers is to free bed space at #detention facilities on domestic soil, but the use of the notorious facility, which has long housed #terrorism suspects, would also send another signal aimed at deterring illegal #immigration to the #US.
The plans have come together only in the last few days & could still change, documents say. But #DHS may not notify the countries of the individuals affected in advance…
The #Trump admin is planning to dramatically ramp up its transfer of undocumented #immigrants to #GuantanamoBay. Some 9,000 people are being screened, including hundreds from #Europe….
That would be an exponential increase from the ~500 immigrants who have been held for short periods at the base since Feb & a major step toward realizing a plan Trump announced in Jan to use #Gitmo to hold as many as 30k immigrants.

Lesbian mothers win legal status in Italy IVF ruling
Italy’s Constitutional Court said on Thursday that same-sex female couples who use in vitro fertilization (IVF) abroad can both be legally recognized as parents in Italy, even if one is not the biological mother.Reuters (NBC News)
The playbook:
"Ratchet up raids on peaceful people to hit impossible quotas (ICE came close, but did not meet, Miller’s 3,000 arrest quota on two days last week).
Use protests against that draconian invasion to arrest Democratic leaders and invade a blue city.
Point to the chaos created by Miller’s draconian ICE raids to demand passage of the Big Ugly bill, which will codify and expand precisely that kind of draconian ICE raid.
Create chaos, and then use that chaos to try to codify authoritarian power."

Today #Trump ended Temporary Protected Status (#TPS) for #Nepal, which has lasted since 2015. He tried to kill it in his first term, but was blocked in court. That is much less likely this time around, given what's happened already with TPS for Venezuela & the partisan activist #SCOTUS.
