Farmers want the Trump administration to overhaul the H-2A visa program to make it more favorable to their businesses. But cutting red tape could cut labor protections, too.

Immigrants in Alabama Can Face Harsher Sentences Than Citizens for the Same Crimes
---
A review of more than 100 court cases found some immigrants saw harsher punishments, even when they have fewer prior convictions. Defendants in these cases said they believe their citizenship status tipped the scales of justice against them.

A lax regulatory environment has led to the widespread abuse of farmworkers — including threats of violence, stolen wages and forced labor.
Experts say the Fair Food Program's reforms could help.
But few farms have signed on.

"A Democrat and a Republican will team up to try to ban masked law enforcement in Oregon"
"Their proposal would prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings and would require them to wear 'official uniforms' with badge numbers and names. It would not apply to SWAT teams or undercover police officers as they currently operate."

When she arrived, she was not sent out to work in the fields like the others. She was forced to live at his house and sign a marriage license.

19-year-old Jorge Ruiz, a Mexican immigrant in Alabama on an H-2B visa, was convicted of murder after a fatal car crash.
He was initially sentenced to the maximum possible punishment, longer than what prosecutors had requested: 99 years.

"Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called Eyes Up, differs from other banned apps such as ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities. Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.
The news shows that Apple and Google’s crackdown on ICE-spotting apps, which started after pressure from the Department of Justice against Apple, is broader in scope than apps that report sightings of ICE officials. It has also impacted at least one app that was more about creating a historical record of ICE’s activity during its mass deportation effort."

Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates.
Those dates have come and gone.
They’re still stuck here.

#introduction : This is my second day on Mastodon which I joined to share a story I broke on the Apple beat @gruber, the OG.
I edit the only immigration news boutique at the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court.
I'm from Chile by way of Missouri. I covered Congress for Vanity Fair before Migrant Insider. My dog is Roxy.
Elsewhere I post about mostly about ICE these days. Here I post about #immigration, plus gentler topics, like #art, #design, #culture, and of course, the #tech industry:
Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.
ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.
