Right -- the linked story looks like ICE is deliberately attempting to create exactly the atmosphere gswift was arguing against, where undocumented immigrants are afraid to interact with the police at all.
11 million people afraid to interact with law enforcement -> Crime goes up -> Trump uses rising crime to justify stricter enforcement. Winning!
See the AP story this morning that the admin considered activating 100k national guard troops for immigration enforcement.
The National Guard thing is pretty terrifying an idea too, although now they're denying it, so conceivably it's one of those things that was leaked to help prevent it being a reality, like the LGBT rights EOs? (Also it comes from Kelly, so great "steadying hand" there.)
I want to acknowledge the particular constitutional crisis I was worrying about, that CBP was flat out refusing to enforce the court orders, seems to have fizzled out. The contempt of court complaint in Virginia is still there, but the Republican administration has more or less acknowledged that the court orders have authority and need to be heeded.
Saw something pointing out the date on the memo is from Jan 25 when they were busy rolling out all the crazy stuff and before the big pushback on the travel ban EO.
One of the executive orders authorizes the deportation of immigrants who have "committed acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense." You don't even have to be charged.
5. That should be "Are thought to have committed acts..." Because unless you charge them and prove the charges to the satisfaction of a court, then whether they've committed the acts remains moot. And thereby hangs a tail.
Now folks on Twitter are wringing their hands about whether the AP was justified in saying the administration is "considering" the idea. Very much puzzles me, because if it's in such a high-level memo at all, it is or was being considered in a real sense by definition.
Then I guess the other interpretation of intent is that it's to spread fear among immigrant community.
2: Another thing: if The Wall ever actually happens one of Mexico's levers is to stop interdicting migrants from Central America. Build a wall, get more migrants. Win!
I want to acknowledge the particular constitutional crisis I was worrying about, that CBP was flat out refusing to enforce the court orders, seems to have fizzled out.
This had scared the bejesus out of me, so I'm very relieved for the time being.
"any further meetings with ICE officials would have to be cleared by the Republican Judiciary Committee Chairman"
I'm pretty sure that's not how Congress works.
Or this!

If you keep posting all these mean things about ICE from your phone they might call CBP to take it away the next time you're within 100 miles of a border.
I bet over half of us are within a 100 miles. It looks like I work within 100 miles but maybe live outside of 100 miles.
Just don't bring any electronics to work, no problem.
I have a bleg about the application that Megan posted here a few weeks ago. It's a google form, so the short answers window is only a single line, which then expands as you type. So the organizers have not tipped their hand as to the length of answers they expect.
For questions like:
"Please elaborate on your background as pertains to this track. Include relevant publications."
"While we are not limiting this track to mathematicians, we do plan to develop mathematical ideas for expert testimony. Please describe your fluency with geometric ideas (e.g., convexity, curvature, isoperimetric inequalities, entropy, moments of inertia)."
"Describe your public speaking experience, including a few examples "
Are these single paragraph answers? Or rather, if my baseline answer is a single paragraph, should I expand it to match what other applicants are likely to do?
"I have developed a truly marvelous fluency in this area, which this text box is too narrow to contain."
These crazy people are making me update my CV. I mean, this is really a lot to ask. Also, my LaTeX program has a CV template that I'm using which belongs to one of our own, and thus I'm erasing and replacing a lot of sociology articles with many, many fewer math ones.
"I have developed a truly marvelous fluency in this area, which this text box is too narrow to contain."
If you were truly fluent with geometric ideas you'd be able to find a way to make it fit. You walked right into their trick question.
It's really becoming clear that I don't work that hard, as I update this.
You mean because you keep commenting in this thread instead of diligently completing the application?
Hey, there's like over 20 minutes in between comments! That's pretty good for a task that is causing me emotional distress as I face my inadequacies as a scholar.
22: I'm updating my research and teaching statements for a long-shot job so I understand!
My hunch is that they won't proceed beyond a certain level of deportation because to do so would be horribly disruptive to business. But what would _not_ be disruptive to business is if immigrant workers lived in even greater fear of doing anything at all about bad labor conditions. And also if people on guest worker visas were even more afraid of being fired and losing their visas than they already are.

I know the people running that! They're all great. I was thinking about applying, but I hear it's getting lots of interest so now I'm on the fence. I'd only write a paragraph myself, but I don't know what other will do. I'm not at all a geometer, so I don't know that I'll be qualified.
I am feeling super unqualified myself, because I do so little research. But I badly want to do it. There's supposed to be a regional conference in Texas at some point in the future, which is probably a better fit for me, but I still would really love to do this one.
Pence just gave a major foreign policy address in Europe. I think he's trying to consolidate their support for his upcoming coup. He didn't even mention the EU, which is an interesting signal to the various Brexit and LePen-type factions.
28 Pence just gave a major foreign policy address in Europe. I think he's trying to consolidate their support for his upcoming coup.
What makes you say that? It's not at all unusual for the VP to address such conferences.
I'm afraid it's just going to be this for the next four years. Four years of crisis. Nothing to save us but ourselves pushing back on the streets and in the Congressional suites, not impeachment, not the 25th amendment, or anything else.
According to the Groan, he was basically telling them they'd have to pay more if they wanted America to stay in NATO. Doesn't sound like a good way to rally support for a coup.
Trump, after all, is a symptom of the crisis in the West, not its cause. America remains a possible partner for Europe, but it is no longer a reliable one. Wolfgang Ischinger, head of the Munich Security Conference, rightly warned Europeans not to write America off as a partner. That would be premature. But it would also be reckless and naïve if Europe were not to prepare for the fact that it can no longer unconditionally rely on the United States.
Yes. Trump's election has ended the post WW2 security arrangements fit better or worse. Almost certainly for the worse. Even if he were impeached tomorrow and replaced with Harry T Truman, it's done.
I'm sure it had to end at some point, but ending because it didn't help the white American middle class seems really unexpected.
Post-Deluge, not so much. I'm seeing America more and more as basically a backward country ruled by profoundly unenlightened self-interest, with the New Deal to Nixon period an aberration. The scale of things built in that period is such that the world could coast on the momentum for decades, but without conscious maintenance shit breaks.
Fair. I chose Nixon because the Southern strategy was the end of the New Deal coalition.
To be fair, the New Deal coalition was willing to accept a ton of open racism.
Gotta end NATO. It's the only way to (a) bring coal mining back to Pennsylvania and West Virginia and (b) lower health insurance deductibles and premiums.
As a "fear campaign" these examples are underwhelming. Maybe the 23 year old isn't gang affiliated but given the dad has narc trafficking convictions and eight deportations under his belt gang affiliation is a real possibility and I won't making judgement on a few proclamations by a defense lawyer.
And the woman getting the protective order? She has six prior deportations and a multi year criminal history with multiple crimes of violence as well as theft. She's a perfectly legitimate target for deportation.
Stupid Jews, keep breaking the laws. Don't they know that could get them in trouble?
CNN, having learned nothing, is running Trump's whole rally without comment.
There's no way this ends without having tried all this nonsense right down the rabbit hole.
Maybe we could try to get through this month without anyone actually accusing anyone else of being a Nazi?
My sister's Scotch with too much peat has grown on me now that I finished the bottle. I'm reluctant to open the fancy Scotch because it won't taste like burning moss.
I do have a bottle of Chivas and a twelve of Belgian beer. The rest of my family is fancier than I am.
I can singe myself a little if really necessary.
Thanks but I'm guessing the flavor would be wrong.
48 I like peaty Scotch. What is it?
We also have a bottle of Kaluha (sp?), which I'm fairly sure nobody in the house will drink.
Anyway, I'll drink Kaluha only after the vanilla extract is gone.
Nobody will admit to bringing in a bottle of Kaluha and everybody with diagnosed memory impairments doesn't buy liquor.
Or at least everybody who was so diagnosed before the Kaluha appeared.
Barry, if you're into peaty scotch you ought to try Laphroig if you haven't.
B.K.E. is a common dating system here.
We buy our booze at a place called "Hy-Vee." It's hard to even go in there and not come out with Busch Light Draft and Boone's Farm.
Hey Barry, we saw Bright Lights at the festival last night. Better than I thought it would be.
64 oh good. I've heard good things but have yet to see it.
Hy-Vee was my local in Iowa City but I think it mostly yielded Leinenkugel's and Rolling Rock. Also in winter the produce section shrank to an infinitesimal point.
Todd Fisher came to introduce it, and take questions afterwards. Helped alot, I think, at normalizing.
48, 60. Second Laphraoig as a posh peaty whisky. Also Ardbeg. You can pay >$400 for a bottle of 30 year old Talisker if you want. What's the posh one you have?
46: Maybe people could refrain from saying things that earn the comparison? Just a thought.
re: 68
Southern Islay whiskies, basically.
I don't think Buchanan (reading, it seems to be a well-regarded blend* more popular in the US and South America than in the UK) is going to be as hardcore as Laphroaig.
* not a value judgement on my part, the only two whiskies I currently have in the house are both blends.
My sister probably just asked the clerk at the HyVee, which is a more robust process than the Koch brother who collects wine used to select his purchases.
The good HyVee. Not the best HyVee, but not one of the crappy ones.
The narcissism of small differences.
Well, they closed the IGA closest to here.
I'm watching "The Third Man". It's pretty good.
It's not as funny as Airplane and the zither stuff gets old, but still pretty good.
Why do other places' grocery store names always sound so ridiculous and anachonistic?
The little murderer-denouncing boy is great.
Apparently every person in Vienna knows each other.
It's very good and I still haven't seen Orson Wells.
I think more people should know about this Graham Green guy.
It's kind of hard to imagine how these Austrians managed to survive a world war, let alone start one.
The joke about how the Swiss had 500 years of peace acc only created the cuckoo clock is in this.
500 years of peace is Swiss propaganda.
For example, the Second Battle of Zurich where the French defeated the Russians, Austrians, and Swiss.
Please. Can we not joke so soon after the Sweden incident?
#Neveragain #Viärallasvenskar #Dontletithappenhere
The guy who said it was apparently trying to justify murderer stuff.
Does Austria have some deep history with the Zither?
This seems to be a regular beat for this writer. Stories by her since December include:
Conservative Talk Radio Stands by Trump Despite Turmoil
In Ban on Migrants, Trump Supporters See a Promise Kept
One Country, Two Tribes
On New Political Footing, Trump Believers Share His Day
Why 5 Trump Voters Are Going to the Inauguration
In a North Carolina Town, Terrorism Abroad Raises Apprehension
90. Yep. Creative destruction. Disrupt the drug market. Cuckoo!
I can see why they wanted him to sell frozen peas.
This thread is chasing Orson Wells through the visually stunning sewers of Vienna.
This movie is really great visually. More people should try this kind of filmmaking.
Now watch the Pinky and the Brain version: The Third Mouse.
I don't know if that's on Netflix.
What with all the police and the zones and the deporting the leading lady, that movie was kind of on topic.
98 -- Yes yes yes.
the zither stuff gets old
Dead to me.
I'm not worried. I'll just bury a different guy.
Mobes, have you seen Heavenly Creatures? Clips get a prominent role.
I prefer my murderous lesbians to be a bit older than their teens.
I prefer my murderous lesbians like I prefer my coffee...
...no, wait, I can't think of a good ending to that.
I prefer my murderous lesbians like I prefer my coffee: infused with the spirit of the civet.
The trouble with The Third Man is that today half of the audience wouldn't recognize Harry Lime as the villain.
He was a disruptive innovator and those darned pesky regulations were keeping him down! If we had free markets like God intended, the effective antibiotics would win out through competition. A few hospitals full of dead patients is a small price to pay.
109: see also Biff Tannen, Mr Potter, Gordon Gekko, Col. Jessup...
Rebuffed by liberal hate, Trump security consultant Alex Delarge said he had to resort to unconventional means of meeting women.
106: I can work with that, but should probably go presidential first.
The Third Man is so good. One of the best ideas on the internet is a response to the avclub's Q&A on What movie would you like to see remade, and by what director? Someone suggested (and I can't find it on the internet) a Spike Lee remake of The Third Man set in immediately post-Katrina New Orleans with Denzel in the Orson Welles role (and I think Will Smith in the lead role?). I wish I could find the pitch because it had a lot of great detail.
The trouble with The Third Man is that today half of the audience wouldn't recognize Harry Lime as the villain.
Alas, I can picture the cuckoo clock speech getting a standing ovation in a college film society.
113 is good, especially the suggestion of the de Toro "Forbidden Planet". Obviously most of my answers would be "Werner Herzog, as long as he is allowed to bring Klaus Kinski with him".
I think it would almost be more interesting to ask "what movie would you like to see remade by as many different directors as possible?" What concept would support the largest number of different but worthwhile productions?
112: It never occurred to me before, given that it's hardly ever used for crimes, that "going presidential" might have been inspired by Point Break. Rad.
What concept would support the largest number of different but worthwhile productions?
Actual cinema history suggests the story of Wong Fei Hung.
Somewhat surprisingly, googling "most remade movie" doesn't yield a definitive answer. Robin Hood is a surprisingly strong contender, though.
It also depends on the definition of "remake". Dracula would be pretty high on the list except not every movie with Dracula in it counts as a remake. I'm pretty sure the one where he meets Abbot and Costello strays pretty far from Bram Stoker's vision.
How many Dracula movies are actually worthwhile though?
I would suggest the one actually called Bram Stoker's Dracula, but for the dawning realization that I just mentioned two Keanu movies in as many comments.
118: Robin Hood, yes. And maybe some of Shakespeare. There must have been plenty of film versions of "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet".
I would suggest the one actually called Bram Stoker's Dracula,
Really? I mean, I guess it's worthwhile in that I don't wish it never existed, but equally I have no desire to ever see it again. The one good thing in it is the cut from a vampire being beheaded to a beef roast being carved.
Robin Hood is a surprisingly strong contender, though.
There are dozens of Robin Hood stories and the setting is such that it's easy enough to make up more. I'd say it more more like an unplanned series, as if Lucas had put the Star Wars universe into Creative Commons after the first three, than a series of remakes.
122: Surely the cringeworthy love scene between Winona Ryder and Gary Oldman is the high point of that movie.
113.2: Children of Men, Ghandi, Guys and Dolls
