Federal judge slams Trump administration's immigration crackdown in scathing decision

A federal judge has accused the Trump administration of terrorizing immigrants and recklessly violating the law in its efforts to deport millions of people living in the country illegally. Citing the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, the judge said in a scathing decision late Wednesday that the White House had also “extended its violence on its own citizens.” U.S. District Judge Sunshine Sykes in Riverside, California ordered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide detained immigrants around the country with notice of her earlier decision that they may be eligible to seek release on bond. The department said in a statement that the Supreme Court had “repeatedly overruled” lower courts on the issue of mandatory detention.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota and federal authorities are investigating the alleged beating of a Mexican citizen by immigration officers last month, seeking to identify what caused the eight skull fractures that landed the man in the intensive care unit of a Minneapolis hospital.

Minnesota and federal authorities investigating alleged beating of Mexican citizen

Minnesota and federal authorities are investigating claims that immigration officers shattered a Mexican man's skull while taking him into custody last month. Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says agents yanked him from a vehicle, slammed him down and beat him with a baton. ICE has said the man caused his own injuries when he tried to run while handcuffed and fell. Hospital workers have told The Associated Press that explanation does not match the CT scan and brain bleeding he received. Both St. Paul police and the FBI last week requested surveillance video from businesses in the shopping center where the arrest happened.

You have “nothing to fear if you’re an American citizen. If you’re not an American citizen, then look out.”

That’s what Border Patrol “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino said in December, as he and his entourage of masked agents patrolled a residential neighborhood in Kenner, Louisiana, a diverse suburb of New Orleans. Asked by a reporter whether that threat applied to “legal residents,” too, Bovino attempted to clarify. “We’re friends with all legal residents,” he insisted.
