“Gina Hinojosa has the power to scale back Operation Lone Star. She also has the opportunity, along with the other Democratic leadership, to end the enforcement of the 287(g) contracts. We already saw the mayor of Houston come out with the executive order to limit the police collaboration with ICE.” https://www.texasobserver.org/governor-hinojosa-break-up-dps-and-ice/#ICE #immigration #Texas #Democrats #news #police

a little concerned to see news from Spain that the Supreme Court has suspended voting rights of citizens (like me and my children) who obtained citizenship through their spanish born parents and grandparents. It is extremely unusual for a citizen not to have the right to vote in general. It goes against Spain's constitution. Of course this question to the Court was put forward by Vox, the far right conservative party. it will have to be resolved before the elections. It would be unprecedented in Europe in post war, post Franco, times for a class of citizens to be excluded from voting. Either they restore the right by clarifying the law, or they strip us of our citizenship completely. I just can't imagine there would be wide domestic political support for disenfranchising millions of people who have clearly declared their intention and desire to be reconnected with Spain. our family has built a lot of future plans around our spanish and EU citizenship. A change like this would be deeply disappointing. 🇪🇸 https://english.elpais.com/spain/2026-09-09/spains-top-court-suspends-voting-rights-for-some-descendants-of-civil-war-exiles.html #espana #lmd #spain #vox #citizenship #farright #immigration #franco

Our report shows how AI has become stitched into the UK Home Office. From detecting potential sham marriages and age estimation of asylum seekers to searching phones and producing summaries for asylum decisions. Plus border surveillance with live facial recognition, AI-powered drones and satellites. #ai #report #immigration #asylum #HomeOffice #AutomatedDiscrimination #HostileEnvironment #ukpolitics #ukpol

Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town.

Across the country people know the value of migrants who work across a range of sectors *and* contribute to the country's culture & economy, yet the Labour Govt. like its Tory predecessors continues to deny this value, seeking to denigrate migrants in an attempt to appeal to voters with 'legitimate concerns' about immigration. As Gaby Hinsliff, argues this hasn't worked on its now terms, and has also undermined the value of migrants to the UK. #immigration #politics
