CJEU, data protection law

New AG opinion in cases of @privacyint and others concludes that UK, French and Belgian laws on data retention of communications are at least partly in breach of EU law
If the CJEU judges agree with the Advocate General's opinion that the UK is in breach of EU data protection law, it is likely to impact upon whether the Commission can/will adopt a post Brexit adequacy decision for the UK.
Some initial comments on today's CJEU opinion on retention of communication data

1/ This vote by the Commons last night is being interpreted by some to mean that EU citizens will definitely have *no* appeal rights in relation to immigration status after Brexit. This is not correct.
2/ The withdrawal agreement bill still gives the government the power to adopt secondary legislation setting out appeal rights. So it's not true to say "the Commons voted to say that no one will be able to appeal".
3/ Here's the minister's rationale for opposing the amendment: needs more detail than the amendment would provide, claims it might have undesirable consequences. But not objecting to very existence of *any* appeal rights. Indeed minister says EU citizens *will* be able to appeal.

1/ BREAKING: #ASYLUM LAW

As #impeachment dominates the news cycle the war on #asylum still rages... and the Trump administration just dropped another daisycutter.

This whole thing is *far* worse than this headline might suggest, so let's just into it.
2/ 1st, remember that "criminal aliens" is one of the Trump administration's favorite phrases, intentionally used to associate crime w/refugees, asylum seekers, &Central Americans generally. (MEDIA: This is a very knowing psy-ops campaign; please don't perpetuate it)
3/ International law *does* allow member states of the Refugee Convention to restrict the right of asylum to those convicted of "particularly serious crimes" and even return such people there even knowing they face will face persecution. It's clearly for extreme cases.

1/ I just read through the new proposed rules for #asylum-based employment authorization while waiting in #immigrationcourt with a 16-year-old asylum seeker, and I'm just so tired and angry that this seems like a good time to tell you how bad it is.

It's bad.

(1/5000000000)
2/ This opening sentence says everything.

In Trumpworld, the only possible reason anyone would file an application for #asylum is to get a work permit, and most of them are probably criminals.
3/ Under current regulation, #asylum applicants can't file for a work permit until their cases have been pending 180 days. (Under current processing times, they receive it about 30 days later.) This rule would double that to a full year.

Here is the link to Judge Tigar's decision

I'm next on the docket ... so will tweet the highlights of the decision after I am done. But stay tuned this one is something else!
Heeyey! I go in for a quick hearing and in the meantime #ImmigrationMonday, I see, has hit us again. Much to chew on but as I promised here is the 4 on Judge Tigar's reinstated nationwide injunction in EastBay Sanctuary II litigation.

George #Soros: When deportations from Hungary to death camps began to soar during the Holocaust, he was reduced to hiding his Jewish identity to survive.

Translation: He pretended he was a nazi as he shipped his friends & family off to die.

What is at stake at today's vote in #Hungary parliament?
Individuals helping migrants could be criminalized for legitimate activities and could face up to a year in prison. Even being a "suspect" will have a serious personal effect on the lives of people.
@hrw explainer:
And more.. asylum seekers applying to get protection will face new admissibility criteria making it virtually impossible for them to be recognized as refugees, especially without the legal and psycho-social support from independent groups and experts.
NGOs and volunteers who try to challenge this zero protection system, report on abuses at the border and in detention, or provide any form of support will be under constant threat of prosecution. It is already nearly impossible to access critical areas and report on conditions.
