This just over the wire:

And effective immediately. Making legal immigration illegal. Pulling the rug out, taking away this lawful means of entry.

“Notice and comment on this rule, along with a 30-day delay in its effective date, would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. The Departments have determined that immediate implementation of this rule is essential to avoid a surge of aliens who would have strong incentives to seek to cross the border during pre-promulgation notice and comment or during the 30-day delay in the effective date under 5 U.S.C. 553(d).”

Blumenthal, et al. v. Trump – info and pleadings HERE!!!

Seeking asylum is perfectly legal. Yet this administration attempts to criminalize it, to brand those seeking asylum as “criminals,” and to push them out of the country as “criminals.” This administration is also making it impossible for those charged with the work of administering asylum claims to do the job.

Here is the amicus brief of Local 1924:

We buy almost everything on craigslist, but haven’t sold anything big before, and I can see why, what a pain. People calling, going back and forth, they say they want to come look, “Name a time” and I do and don’t hear from them again. It’s hard to respect the other folks’ place in line, so I just started letting them know they lost their place.

Enter a call to schedule time on the 4th. Sure, no problem. They’re coming from Arizona. WHAT?!?! Sure enough, they blasted into town, checked it over, signed and paid up, and rolled away. Brandon and Rachel, we really enjoyed meeting you, your enthusiasm and get up and GO is so refreshing! And now you’re gone, on your way. THANK YOU!! The women who sold us the camper said they wanted it to go to a good home, and I did too, and am so glad you came up to Minnesota!
