Abrego Garcia won’t be released right away because he’d asked for a 30-day delay in the effective date of his release, which was granted. District judges are holding the line against the worst of the Trump depredations.

> Many people are simply disappearing, their friends, family, employers, coworkers simply unable to find out where they've been taken. Thousands have been directly impacted; tens of millions are indirectly impacted as they find themselves living in fear of these fates, and it is ravaging both mental health and the ability to continue to participate in everyday life and earn a living. Many are, with good reason, afraid to leave their homes.

Brian SmallNew research from a recent PRRI survey of more than 5,000 adults shows that 61% of Americans oppose the U.S. government deporting undocumented immigrants to foreign prisons in El Salvador, Rwanda, or Libya, without allowing them to challenge their deportation in court, including 36% who strongly oppose.[1] At the same time, majorities of some specific groups — Republicans, white evangelical Protestants, and white Catholics, as well as Christian nationalism Adherents and Sympathizers — support these actions.
Republicans (78%) are nearly eight times as likely as Democrats (10%) to favor the deportation of undocumented immigrants to foreign prisons without due process. Roughly one-third of independents (35%) support these immigration actions by the Trump administration.
