I'm honored to be included with my much more deserving colleagues on The Washingtonian (magazine) "Best Immigration Lawyers" list. Had I known about the nomination, I would have put in votes for so... washingtonian.com/best/lawyers/s…
...many lawyers in the DMV who've tirelessly led the charge to protect due process for all aspiring Americans.

To whoever nominated me, thank you.
These are folks who head for the airports, the border, and to jails in the middle of nowhere at the drop of a hat to make sure the voiceless are given a voice. They know their clients better than some family members.
They cry with them, rejoice with them, take punches from an unforgiving system for them, and pick themselves up the next day to do it all over again.

I couldn't be prouder to be listed among them.

ICE put fake dates on deportation court summonses (known as a Notice to Appear, or NTA.) This is the second time this has happened since the Supreme Court ruled last summer NTA's must contain the time and date of the appearance.

Is the confusion tactic a feature or a bug? This isn't the first time chaos was used to play with people's lives. My own client was 2 hours into a 9 hour drive from Virginia to appear in court in Buffalo, NY before I called him to tell him whoops, ICE was just playing.
Playing with people's lives isn't funny at all.

I told that to the Washington Post.

And to CBS News:

Yesterday afternoon, I had to tell a client from Virginia to turn around and come back home. No deportation hearing date in Buffalo, NY tomorrow after... cbsnews.com/news/immigrati…
...after all: the date was fake. You read that right. (And we couldn't even confirm that was the case because until the government reopened, questions about cases couldn't be answered, unless client was detained.)
ICE is out of control, the court system is broken, and it has real consequences on people's lives.

They suffer mostly in silence.

Page Wallace, 1880.
Orion Anderson, 1889.
Charles Craven, 1902.

3 young black men lynched right here in Loudoun County, VA. A state that's both the birthplace of American democracy and the capital of the Confederacy.

We're having a town hall this Thursday in Sterling, VA:
Filmmaker @ava DuVernay's film @13THFilm sheds light on this shameful history: how slavery persisted after the end of the Civil War, creating a whirlpool of racial inequality that keeps communities downtrodden and defeated, to this day.
As death row attorney Bryan Stevenson notes, "It is the broken [who] understand the way justice really needs to work. It is the broken who understand why we need mercy. It is the broken [who] can show us how we make our commitment to justice actionable.”

When the #NSA discovered that #Iran may have been buying computer chips from the #UnitedStates routing them through a U.S. ally
&
Potentially supplying them to detonate #bombs against U.S. forces in Iraq & #Afghanistan
It credited so-called economic intelligence with the find.
The solution wasn't a death blow delivered by the #military but rather a new regulation on the export of certain #technologies via the #CommerceDepartment which the #NSA said would end up “saving #American & coalition lives.”

More than 8 years after my last public talk on product management, I spoke about PM career management at Products That Count.

What follows is a long tweetstorm with the key content.

It isn't for the faint of heart.

Are you ready?
While most PMs make the transition to PM management once in their career, I’ve done it thrice over my 12+ year PM career: at Yahoo!, Google, and Stripe. This material draws upon my somewhat unique experience, particularly the mistakes I’ve made (and have seen others make).
The question I get most often from Product Managers is:
“How can I get to manage Product Managers?”

"I’m A Minority Woman Going GOP Over Dem Treatment Of Kavanaugh" thefederalist.com/2018/10/05/im-…
The party that established itself as a champion for the voiceless, powerless, and wrongfully accused, betrayed its values and launched a vicious attack on Kavanaugh that left him voiceless, powerless, and completely incapable of defending himself.
Against all logic and good faith, they released uncorroborated allegations of sexual misconduct to the public, counting on the backdrop of the #MeToo movement to make them that much harder to criticize or ignore.

showing his First and last charge. Note on 1 charge his middle initial is given, this is where too much info entered will give you a negative return should you use it. Without knowing his birthday (year) it makes it more difficult locating anyone. Note the charge of assault on
the first charge.HIs actual crime was throwing his infant child into a wall causing permenant brain damage. There is nothing about child neglect. This MISSING information could have been life saving. Assault 2nd falls under too many catagories, such as"I got into a barroom brawl
protecting a women". LIES. #BrittanysLaw will give the needed, life saving information we need to protect our most vulnerable. Had more information been given on the original charge, the murder charge could very possible have been omitted and Helen ad Brittany may still be alive.

Taekook AU where assistant Taehyung is sick and tired of the way his boss Jungkook treats him. When Jungkook gets in a car accident and loses all of his memory Taehyung decides to get back at him for the years of torture. “Who are you?” “I’m your husband.” #taekook #vkook #kookv
I’ve had this in my drafts from way too long I needed to tweet it
This is based off of the movie Overboard!!

The horrific #Goodlatte #immigration bill soon up for debate isn't something to be "compromised" with. It's a harsh, intentional, irrevocable shift Trumpward.

Shred it.

Burn the ashes.

Scatter them upon the Antarctic plains.

Here are just a few of many reasons.
(1) CRIMINALIZATION of unlawful presence in the United States: White supremacy writ into law. For past 228 years, simply *being in U.S.* w/o permission was a civil offense w/no consequence other than deportation.
(NB: This was quickly rejected in 2005, but much more likely now)
(2) ONE HUNDRED THIRTY BILLION UNITED STATES TAXPAYER DOLLARS to fully militarize the Mexican border.

Even @Heritage, which otherwise mostly likes the bill, balked at this as "hard to justify." You don't say.
