Anti-Trump resistance sees another leader in Van Hollen as Democrats’ leadership carousel turns
SUMMARY: Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen has become a prominent figure in the resistance against Donald Trump’s presidency. His recent trip to El Salvador to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported, drew attention to the case and energized anti-Trump sentiment. While praised by some Democrats, Van Hollen’s actions faced criticism, particularly from Republicans, who attacked his focus on immigration and accused him of prioritizing illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens. Despite facing opposition, Van Hollen emphasized the importance of defending constitutional rights, asserting that depriving one person of rights endangers everyone’s freedoms.

Legal aid group sues to preemptively block U.S. from deporting a dozen Honduran children
SUMMARY: A legal aid group, the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project (FIRRP), has sued to block the U.S. government from deporting 12 Honduran children, citing “credible” information about imminent removal plans. This lawsuit amends a recent case that temporarily halted the deportation of Guatemalan migrant children. FIRRP fears these actions violate the children’s rights to seek protection in the U.S. The Trump administration previously attempted to deport Guatemalan children, prompting legal challenges and a federal judge’s intervention. The lawsuit demands these children access immigration judges, legal counsel, and placement in settings best for their welfare.

‘Deportation Depot’ begins operations outside Jacksonville
SUMMARY: Florida has opened its second migrant detention center, the “Deportation Depot,” at Baker Correctional Institution near Jacksonville, holding 117 detainees with capacity for up to 1,500. This expansion follows a federal appeals court’s decision to keep the first facility, “Alligator Alcatraz,” operational despite legal challenges. Governor Ron DeSantis praised both centers as key to his immigration enforcement agenda, with plans for a third facility underway. Staffed by the National Guard and funded by a $600 million federal grant, the new site aims to address what DeSantis calls an immigration crisis. Critics warn of overcrowding and poor conditions, echoing concerns from the Everglades facility.
