U.S. Border Enforcement - ICE will get you

Trump’s Border Czar Says He’ll “Educate” Pope Leo XIV on Catholic Teaching

Homan argues Leo XIV is wrong on deportations — and says his Catholic grade school education in the 1960s qualifies him to explain the faith’s “always pro–law enforcement” stance.

Looks like the US Catholic bishops need education on Catholic doctrine from Mr Homan, too

The Catholic Bishops’ Supreme Court Brief Is a Searing Moral Rebuke to Donald Trump (Evernote link because paywall)

Not really the point of the story, but I have to say I found this part depressing:

Remember, a majority of the justices are Catholic, and surely familiar with the conference; I think there is a real chance this brief will carry a lot of weight.

Judges, even those of the Supreme Court, in the UK take an oath to "do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of this realm, without fear or favour, affection or ill will.” That is, they are committed to interpreting the law as they find it to be, not as they think it should be. And if they find they can't do that in a particular case, whether because of their religious beliefs or some other reason, they recuse themselves from hearing it.

I keep forgetting that we now have Pope Bob instead of Frank.

Feds block millions for ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ ‘Deportation Depot’ over pending environmental review

The federal government is withholding a $608 million grant to help pay for Florida’s migrant lockups because a required environmental review still hasn’t been completed, newly released records show.

The so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” and “Deportation Depot” centers were projected to cost $1.7 billion over two years, with Floridians expected to pay at least $1.1 billion, according to nearly 3,000 pages of emails and financial sheets reviewed by the Phoenix.

On four separate occasions last year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency told state officials that it wouldn’t release the full $608.4 million grant award until an Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) review was finalized. FEMA even formally denied a state funding request in December, citing the unfinished review.

It sure feels like someone is dragging their feet.

No, not him!
