Asylum seekers in Oregon can now qualify for in-state tuition
A new law signed this week allows eligible asylum seekers to receive resident tuition rates at Oregon’s public universities. This comes as the Trump administration is taking a harder line on immigrants and international students.Tiffany Camhi (OPB)
From 2023: As the U.S. government continues to make it more difficult to enter America, urging asylum-seekers to apply from their home countries instead, refugees like these will continue braving ever-deadlier routes. As one traveler put it to me: “If your house is on fire, you don’t wait inside the house for the fire department to come.” texasobserver.org/la-bestia-ph…

Afrophobic metamorphosis
Afrophobia in South Africa is no longer shouted—it is rationalized, rebranded, and wrapped in the language of law and patriotism.

Know your ICE agent:
Being able to discern between a federally authorized ICE agent and a criminal kidnapper within seconds of first interaction is absolutely essential.
If your abductor is an ICE agent, you must obey, comply and submit. If your abductor is a criminal kidnapper, you are free to fight for your life.

Vijay Prashad: Beyond 'Green Capitalism'
The term "Anthropocene" implies that humans — as an undifferentiated whole — have created the ecological crisis. This downplays the role of the capitalist system and its class and national divides.Consortium News
'In April, as Jean Pierre was approaching her due date, the Dominican government announced a crackdown on undocumented migrants. Almost immediately, images of pregnant women and new mothers who had been rounded up by immigration agents in hospitals and deported were all over the media.'

Stephen Miller’s Financial Stake in #ICE Contractor #Palantir Raises #Conflict Concerns
source: migrantinsider.com/p/stephen-m…
#Miller, who served as President Donald #Trump’s senior advisor on #immigration and homeland #security, disclosed owning between $100,001 and $250,000 of Palantir stock as of mid-March, according to financial disclosure forms obtained by the watchdog group. #Ethics experts told POGO that Miller’s dual role crafting enforcement policy and investing in Palantir, which provides “mission-critical” data services for ICE, could amount to a troubling conflict of interest.

"“I learned all these skills in the army—smash and grabs, site exploitation—and never got to use them,” he said. “So I’m here to kind of do what I learned to do over there, but this time here, defending my country.” I found this man’s account almost embarrassingly transparent. This was the most straightforward articulation I’d ever heard of someone bringing the war home."
