+ ICE officers wrestled an Alabama construction worker to the ground as he shouted, “I am a U.S. citizen.” They didn’t believe him. He showed them his REAL ID. The ICEtroopers said it was a fake (it wasn’t) and dragged him off to an ICE detention center, where he was held for hours, until they finally accepted proof of his citizenship from his family. How has the burden of proof been allowed to shift from the Feds to prove you’re a noncitizen to US citizens to prove they are?

+ According to two immigration lawyers, ICE deported at least a dozen Burmese and Vietnamese migrants to South Sudan–a country in the midst of a famine and civil war–in violation of a court order.
