There are so many other things wrong with this that i should start with but the music catapults the whole thing from a bad joke to a surreal journey into incipient madness
This is not something that needs to "improve." Fortunately there's such an easy answer to all of this though: #FreeThemAll and end all U. S. immigration detention

1/ FINALLY: #TPSElSalvador#TPSNepal#TPSNicaragua & other #TPS designations extended from current expiration of 10/4/21 to 12/31/22. Welcome news, but far short of what needs to happen for hundreds of thousands of ppl living on the edges of lawful status
2/ The most imminent problem is documentation of the lawful status of #TPS beneficiaries. Bc it has been on life support via judicial orders after Trump canceled it, recipients were never issued new ID & have only had them extended by law. Try explaining that to DMVs & employers
3/ USCIS is encouraging them to file for new work permits, but this is an additional 495 in filing fees. It should not be. It's not their fault. Waive this.
Imagine a law which allows anyone to sue any business which lets someone enter without a mask and imposes mandatory fines & closure of that business and you're most of the way to understanding how stupid & wrong the #TexasAbortionLaw is
Oh, and anyone who advised that business they could allow maskless ppl in
As a person who is generally in favor of life, I support universal masking. As someone who does not want government, let alone any local nut with a grudge, overly involved in that life I would oppose the hypothetical law above.
The Biden administration is at this point so deeply committed to mass deportation that it is making up reasons to do it
Prosecutorial discretion in removal proceedings was a fairly straightforward and not especially difficult concept during the Obama years--a time in which the govt was famously hardly soft on immigration enforcement-and all they really had to do was re-issue those guidelines
