ICE Arrests 45 New Yorkers In 4 Days As Part Of Nationwide Raid On Sanctuary Cities
Gothamist: “Of the total 498 detainees arrested nation-wide this week, 181 do not have a criminal record, according to ICE. This means roughly 36 percent of immigrants picked up in the sweep are being held for their undocumented status alone. This category of non-citizens was considered a low priority in the latter years of the Obama administration, but President Donald Trump has widened the dragnet. In addition to the New York arrests, there were 28 in Baltimore; 30 in Cook County, Illinois; 63 in Denver; 101 in Los Angeles; 107 in Philadelphia; 33 in Portland; 27 in Santa Clara County, California; 14 in Washington, D.C.; and 50 across Massachusetts.” See also: Immigrant Arrests in New Jersey Largely Include Those Without Criminal Records
Trump Sent Judges to the Border. Many Had Nothing to Do.
Politico: “Of the 101 arrests in Los Angeles, 85 of the individuals had criminal convictions—meaning 16% percent of the Angelenos arrested had no prior criminal convictions, per numbers given to LAist from an ICE spokesperson.
The sweep arrested immigrants in 10 locations across the country. Los Angeles had the second-most arrests, behind 107 arrests in Philadelphia (498 people were arrested in total). The list of locations—which also included New York, Washington D.C., and Baltimore.”
NBC: “[E]ven as the Trump administration expands its dragnet, the court is so backlogged that some hearings are being scheduled as far in the future as July 2022.”
Americans back DACA by a huge margin (POLL)

Two-thirds back a deal to enact such legislation in tandem with higher funding for border control.”
Lawsuit on ICE’s Detention and Treatment of Pregnant Women

TRLA Sues U.S. Officials for Prolonged Detention of Asylum Seekers
Chron: “The practice of detaining asylum seekers who don't present a danger violates not only their right to due process but international and U.S. law on refugees, according to the Texas RioGrande Legal Aid suit on behalf of five detained immigrants.”
DHS Goes After Social MediaThe rule, published in the Federal Register on 9/18, mentions that DHS will include “social media handles, aliases, associated identifiable information, and search results” as part of people’s A files. This takes effect on 10/18. This was actually initially reported by Buzzfeed. Democrats signal willingness to make border security concessions for DACANYT: “Fearful of concessions to Mr. Trump that could increase immigration enforcement aimed at their families and friends, the activists are targeting Democratic congressional leaders with loud political protests.” SCOTUS Hearings

DOJ Memo: EOIR's Authority to Interpret the term Unaccompanied Alien Child for Purposes of Applying Certain Provisions of TVPRA(See attached) “[W]e conclude that Immigration Judges are not bound by DHS's ·determination regarding whether a respondent is or is not a UAC. Instead, Immigration Judges may resolve any dispute about UAC status during the course of removal proceedings when such a determination bears on a respondent's eligibility for relief, or as part of a determination egarding the applicability of the .initial jurisdiction provision set forth in section 208(b )(3)(C) of the Act. We also conclude that under the plain language of the statute, an alien may lose certain protections of the TVPRA if the alien's status changes. The implications that result from a UAC's status change will depend on the specific statute at issue being applied by the Immigration Judge. USCIS Guidance to RAIO Officers on Firm ResettlementUSCIS provided an overview of the firm resettlement bars for asylum and refugee resettlement and addresses the similarities and differences between these two bars and their exceptions, including an explanation of the BIA four-step framework for analyzing evidence. Special thanks to David Cleveland.
