Scoop: Dream Act Petition One Signature Away From Forcing a House Vote Discharge Petition No. 25 has reached 217 signatures on the American Dream and Promise Act. The 218th has to be a Republican. Pablo Manríquez Sep 2 WASHINGTON — They sign it by hand. That is the thing about a discharge petition that nobody outside this building ever remembers: there is no proxy, no app, no staffer sent down in a member’s place. You walk to the well of the House, you take the pen, and you write your name in a clerk’s book where anybody in America can go read it. Two hundred seventeen members have now done that on Discharge Petition No. 25 , Migrant Insider has learned. One more name and the American Dream and Promise Act gets a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives, and Speaker Mike Johnson can do nothing about it but watch. The petition belongs to Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas. The bill is H.R. 1414 . It would keep some undocumented people from being deported and give others a way to adj...

  BREAKING: DHS Loses Bid to Dodge Blame for Dangerous Conditions at Adelanto A three-judge panel unanimously rejected the government’s bid to pause a court order over dangerous conditions at Adelanto — and taxpayers, not GEO, are the ones on the hook for what happens next. Pablo Manríquez Aug 20 WASHINGTON — Three federal judges told the Trump administration Thursday what it didn’t want to hear: contracting out a detention center doesn’t contract out the Constitution. A Ninth Circuit panel — Judges Margaret McKeown, Michelle Friedland and Eric Miller — unanimously denied the government’s emergency motion to stay a preliminary injunction over conditions at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California’s High Desert, lifting the administrative pause it had granted while it considered the case. The order was first flagged Thursday by POLITICO’s ace courts reporter Kyle Cheney. The government’s core argument was simple: don’t blame us, blame GEO Group , the private prison compa...

  Five DHS Moves Nobody Else Caught This Week A door-by-door look at what Homeland Security buried in the Federal Register and the federal docket this week, while the cameras were pointed somewhere else. Pablo Manríquez Jul 9 WASHINGTON — While the biggest immigration fights of the week played out on cable news, five quieter moves went almost entirely uncovered by the outlets with the biggest microphones. Migrant Insider read the underlying documents — Federal Register notices, court dockets, agency alerts — so you don’t have to dig through them yourself. Here’s what’s in them. 1. ICE wants to charge $755 for a form that used to cost $155 DHS has proposed nearly quintupling the fee for Form I-246 , the application people under final removal orders file to request a stay of deportation — from $155 to $755, a 387% jump. The agency says the fee hasn’t moved since 1989 and no longer covers adjudication costs, and it explicitly ties the increase to Trump’s “Ending Taxpayer Subsidizati...
