| IsambardPrince | MinceR, | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | from SuddenBookkeeper4824 | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Jan 29 01:37 | |
| IsambardPrince | via /r/USCIS sent 7 minutes ago | Jan 29 01:37 |

| IsambardPrince | Quick question - so I have a friend who is a cleaning lady and she has a SSN that was issued prior to 9/11. She has lived in the States for over 25 years now, and she overstayed her visa. She has never been on any government aid, has no debt, and has no criminal history (she’s a good, moral “human” so to speak). Is she doomed? I feel so bad for her because she’s older now. | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I replied, | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | "Well, Trump's press secretary came out to the podium today and declared that "all" undocumented immigrants "are criminals", which is not factually true, but....why would a Nazi with a gigantic honkin' cross hanging around her neck tell the truth? | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | If you haven't done anything except overstay a visa and you have not committed any crimes while you are here, and you have never been deported and decided to come back anyway without permission, then you're guilty of a civil offense. | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Normally, a person in her situation might be able to get a withholding of removal or something else from an immigration judge, but Trump decided to make that harder by getting rid of the Department of Justice legal aid programs that are normally available to people in ICE custody. So she'd be taken in front of an immigration judge and forced to plead her case in about 4-5 minutes with no understanding of immigration law if they | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | found her. | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Then if they couldn't figure out where she was from, they'd likely accuse her of being Mexican and put her on a bus and let the Federales sort it out. | Jan 29 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I had a friend who was adopted through an adoption scam. It turned out when she was an adult that she had no papers, and it was at the worst time ever because Obama was trying to throw out anyone he could have ICE find. | Jan 29 01:37 |
| MinceR | we're all doomed | Jan 29 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Luckily her adopted father paid an immigration lawyer big bucks, because they were on the verge of accusing her of being Mexican and just sending her there even though they couldn't prove it, because Mexico agreed to take her. | Jan 29 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually with a lot of expense, they got her a green card, but I'm not sure how. I remember her saying she had to go to immigration court in Chicago a lot. The actual (immigration kangaroo) court, not the USCIS building on Ida B Wells. | Jan 29 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | I did not envy her that." | Jan 29 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | You hear about "immigration hearings" and "judges", but the truth is that they're not held to the standard that a court of law is normally associated with. It's more like a drumhead court martial. | Jan 29 01:42 |

| schestowitz-pi | This is what happens when/because 1) universities became dependent on tuition fees from intl' students ~30 years ago. 2) rising nationalism, see (1). 3) degrees are no longer associated with career prospects. https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2025-01-28/400-members-of-staff-could-lose-jobs-at-wales-biggest-university | Jan 29 08:05 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, Mandy was an international student. | Jan 29 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | That university was viciously milking people. | Jan 29 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | You should have seen what they charge international students. | Jan 29 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | "The Trump administration on Tuesday offered roughly two million federal workers the option to resign but be paid through the end of September, in an effort to drastically reduce the size of the federal work force and push out people who do not support President Trump’s political agenda. | Jan 29 08:16 |
| IsambardPrince | In an email, the Office of Personnel Management, an agency that oversees the federal civilian work force, gave employees the option to leave their positions by typing the word “resign” into the subject line of an email and hitting send. Workers have until Feb. 6 to accept the offer." | Jan 29 08:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Sounds like Elon jackhammering Twitter. | Jan 29 08:16 |
| IsambardPrince | "Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia — a state that hosts a large chunk of the federal work force — denounced the offer, and suggested that the offer of pay was a trick. | Jan 29 08:19 |
| IsambardPrince | “If you accept that offer and resign, he’ll stiff you.” Mr. Kaine, a Democrat, said in a floor speech on Tuesday, referring to Mr. Trump’s past refusals to pay workers. | Jan 29 08:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Mr. Kaine added of Mr. Trump, “He doesn’t have any authority to do this. Do not be fooled by this guy.”" | Jan 29 08:19 |

| techtrights-sec6 | nothing about the nature of the DDoS attacks. However, TR and TM saw a *LOT* | Jan 29 18:47 |
| techtrights-sec6 | of password cracking attempts back on the old CMS. That was part of the | Jan 29 18:47 |
| techtrights-sec6 | slowness. | Jan 29 18:47 |
