We survey some of the 20 major legal challenges which have been filed against this nonsense--including two early wins, and a few others which might be wins soon. Matt then explains a recent proposed Trump enforcement tactic with concerning new potential for integration of local and federal authorities with immigration enforcement which the media seems to have missed. In related news, Trump has announced that a little-known section of the US military base at Guantanamo Bay will be used to house up to 30,000 immigrants facing deportation. We consider the history and legal issues around this far-from unprecedented plan. Finally, our closing Bigfootnote takes a closer look at a rare intersection between cryptozoology and the law. <ul> <li> <a href= "https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25506186/m-25-13-temporary-pause-to-review-agency-grant-loan-and-other-financial-assistance-programs.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">OMB memo dated 1/27/25</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2025-01/25_0123_finding-of-mass-influx-of-aliens.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“Influx of aliens” memo</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://refugeerights.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Offshoring-Human-Rights-Guantanamo-Bay-English-Report-September-2024-1.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“Offshoring Human Rights,”</a> International Refugee Assistance Project (Fall 2024) </li> <li> <a href= "https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-legal-challenges-trump-administration-actions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trump Litigation Tracker</a>, Just Security (2025) </li> <li> <a href= "https://washingtonbigfoot.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Bigfoot-Ordinance-69-01.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bigfoot-Ordinance-69-01.pdf</a> (Skamani County) </li> </ul>   Check out the OA <a href= "https://linktr.ee/openingarguments">Linktree</a> for all the places to go and things to do!
