The blitz of Trump's immigration executive orders has continued, so fast and sweeping that it’s been hard to keep up, much less gauge their potential impact.
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune explain the most consequential changes he made on Day 1.

While I've posted most of these over the last few weeks, I've started a gallery on my site for the Muro Loco / Wall Crazy series.
https://mikaljakubal.com/galleries/
Still a work in progress. I need to add more shots, caption all of them, write an intro. I'd like to find a place to exhibit them.
Edit to add that I'm still adjusting the gallery in mobile view. The captions override the images too much. Looks better on a big screen. I'm working on it.

特朗普深知大规模驱逐将带来毁灭性的代价，因此他主要将精力集中在芝加哥和丹佛等由他的政治对手统治的城市 ……
美国各地的社区正在动员快速反应网络，以应对突袭并为那些成为国家暴力目标的人提供支援。全美各地的学生正在罢课；人们正在举行大规模示威游行，反抗驱逐 ……
ICE特工经常携带行政逮捕令，而不是司法逮捕令。他们希望你认为这两个东西是一样的，其实并不一样 ……

Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters

Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe.

Since Trump took office, immigration officials have more than quadrupled the number of 287(g) agreements with law enforcement agencies across 40 states, giving local officers authority to function as deportation agents in jails and the streets.

ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

Some Americans Have Already Been Caught in Trump’s Immigration Dragnet. More Will Be.

Federal immigration authorities have a history of wrongfully detaining U.S. citizens. Advocates warn that the Trump administration’s immigration policies mean that more citizens will get caught up in raids and sweeps.

I used to think (in my naivety) that a judge on the Supreme Court was the smartest in the Judiciary — cream of the crop, top of the line…
But damn I can see that’s not true because this is some A-class manipulation and gaslighting by Trump Administration lawyers—
And it makes sense that the people directing #Trump during his first term would put judges in #SCOTUS who would roll over for him.

The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.
Chung wasn’t a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement, she only attended a few.
The #US is seeking to deport a person w/a #GreenCard since she was a child because she went to a #protest.

Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10 years old.
She’s now in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.
The 45 year old wife and mother of 3 has been moved between detention facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada.
They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape.
This is why we call them concentration camps.
There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.
Also worth noting her husband voted for Trump because he supported his mass deportation plans.
He didn’t think it would impact people “like them”. Only “others”.
This is why we fight for the rights of everyone.
We aren’t safe until everyone is safe.
Bloodied Faces, Sobbing Children: #Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows to Speed Up Arrests

We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before #Trump took office.
#ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
You can judge for yourself.

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.
