#citizenship

12 posts11 participants1 post today

A federal judge in DC has paused a key section of #Trump's #ExecutiveOrder that makes sweeping changes to #voting & #elections.

Critics of Trump's #EO say it could disenfranchise millions of would-be #voters, & exceeds his authority.

The EO instructs the independent Election Assistance Commission (#EAC) to change the mail #VoterRegistration form to require that applicants show a document proving US #citizenship before they can be registered to #vote.

Continued thread

In 2001, #Durbin introduced the #DreamAct w/Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), in an effort to create a path to #citizenship for younger #undocumented #immigrants who had been brought to the US as children. It never became #law, but it laid the foundation for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [#DACA] program, which was announced by President #Obama in 2012 & protected hundreds of thousands of immigrants from #deportation. #Trump has tried to end the program, & it remains under legal threat.

Continued thread

#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.

His admin imposed sweeping #tariffs on every country in the world, withdrew the USA from WHO, & declared a national emergency at the southern border. It purported to rewrite #election rules & end #birthright #citizenship. It is attacking major law firms. And much more

"They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their #citizenship status...." In #MONTANA.
#ICE is the Gestapo, full stop.

A co-worker of mine (a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.
