It's always frustrating when something I think is very easy to understand is being made intentionally hard to understand in service of making people look bad.

For example, and I'm going to butcher this name, but this is a post by Aaron Reichlin Melnick.

And he's responding to a Twitter user who's become quite popular on the right named Wanya.

And Wanya had this post a week or so ago that went viral and for kind of a bad reason.

It's just a, a paperwork that you file.

Aaron Melnick talked about this.

Uh, he, he posted about this earlier.

All you need to do is, if you, when you were a child or even as an adult, if you accidentally misreported something in your paperwork, the solution to that is fairly simple.

The ports of entry have been clogged for a long time with people seeking asylum, and there's been these long month-long waiting lists.

It all comes down to the definition of what's called an arriving alien, and we talked to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick about this as well.

I talked about it in this, uh, episode I'm telling you about where we first brought it up.

But you would think arriving would mean, you know, you just got here.

The plan appears to be to create such terror in migrant communities that people here self-deport and others are afraid to come.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council notes that Congress should demand answers from those responsible for diverting taxpayer funding intended to protect people from persecution to some of the world's worst authoritarians for purposes which clearly violate human rights.

On Sunday, an agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, shot Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez, a Venezuelan food delivery driver, in the back in Austin, Texas.

With a bullet still lodged in his body, he was discharged from a hospital to ICE custody, where he spent the night in pain on a cold floor.

Yeah.

And so, you know, we were all sort of kind of positing, like Steve Vladeck and myself and Aaron Reichlin-Melnick were like, "What do you think? 24 hours, 48 hours?" And I'm like, "24 to 48 hours from when they file the lawsuit."

Absolutely.

That's when-
