Immigration advocates say new mega master hearings, which often include more than 100 people, are designed to force immigrants to go through complex proceedings without legal representation, likely leading to more deportations. ow.ly/xNPG50Z6RLm

Sarah T. Reed High School’s historic home is closing, and while the name will live on, students are scattering to schools across the city. The school’s band, which spent years rebuilding its program, is also splitting up. ow.ly/FRFn50Z3HkY

At a press conference about the freezing temperatures/bad weather, @LAGovJeffLandry declined to answer two media questions about immigration. One about the status of Catahoula Crunch. A second about whether he agrees with the @NatlGovsAssoc "reset" statement. See below. #lalege

Since Catahoula Crunch began, more students have been missing school, putting them at risk of legal trouble or expulsion. And youth advocates say the stress of worrying about family and friends has been an unwelcome distraction from schoolwork. ow.ly/2XQR50XMQr9

According to new legislation, law enforcement officers who don’t comply with immigration authorities like ICE could face criminal charges. Today on @LAConsidered, @bmisick tells us how this will impact local jailers, the Orleans Parish Sheriff, and Louisiana residents.
Great working with @kstromquist at Gulf States Newsroom on this.
Amid calls from President Donald Trump for a nationwide immigration crackdown and an end to so-called “sanctuary” policies, at least two Louisiana law enforcement agencies have recently joined forces with federal immigration authorities. buff.ly/I8XJ1Hr

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which held his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

![A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part:
"Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen.
On January 31, 2025, he was walking [...] in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses.
As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship.
The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours.
All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated.
The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk.
After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GmRmNDtbYAA_hoR.png?name=orig)

A three-year old, his mother, and his grandmother were speaking Spanish while shopping at a department store in Milwaukee. They’re U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico, but were taken by ICE:

An undocumented family in Louisiana, low on ICE's stated priorities, said they were lured to a meeting w/ promises of "good news" flown to TX & deported all under 36 hrs. The 'ruses' that ICE and its contractor used to get them into custody are legal.

27 years ago, bite marks were critical in convicting Jimmie Duncan for the killing of his girlfriend’s daughter. A newly uncovered tape of a forensic dentist mashing a mold of Duncan’s teeth into the victim’s body raises questions about the verdict. buff.ly/hFVoRKQ
