This is weird. People in immigration proceedings are being picked up, taken to Texas, given repeat questioning and then released in Texas (sometimes with a new green card) to find their way home on their own. Anyone in @austin organizing help?

I’ve heard that ICE “agents” get bonuses for everyone they pick up, regardless of their status.
Perhaps they’ve figured out that they can do “catch & release” to maintain the supply of brown people to harass. If someone is actually deported, then they might not be able to get paid to pick them up again.
