Trump administration directs spy satellite agencies to surveil US-Mexico border (Reuters)

Reuters could not determine whether the effort, which has not been previously reported, would gather imagery of U.S. territory. While laws generally restrict U.S. spy agencies from surveilling citizens and other legal residents, they allow immigration authorities to conduct physical searches "within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States." Regulations have defined this as 100 air miles from the border, opens new tab– an area including cities such as San Diego and El Paso. "If they follow the law, these agencies should only collect on the other side of the border in foreign territory," said Paul Rosenzweig, a lawyer who specializes in national security and privacy law. "But how they implement that, and if they do, are legitimate oversight questions."

There's no world where the "digital wall" they are trying to build (see below) doesn't hasten the conjoining of the NROs spy satellite outputs and the booming market of domestically-operating private surveillance technology firms, many of which are building out border surveillance networks.

Multiple defense contractors - new and legacy ones alike - are in talks with various government agencies to aid the border-security work, building on existing deals they have, said the two sources aware of the initiative. A “digital wall” to augment the border’s physical one would be the goal, said one of the sources. For instance, data analytics provider Palantir (PLTR.O), opens new tab powers the so-called Maven Smart System for the Pentagon, via contracts it won last year valued at about $580 million. Maven pulls together data and uses AI to speed up target identification for intelligence analysts. Palantir has long worked with the Department of Homeland Security as well. Anduril, a defense tech startup, designs sensor towers and related software. Last fall, the company announced it had deployed 300 autonomous versions of these towers for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, detecting and tracking objects of interest through radar and other technology. In recent months, Palantir, Anduril, Elon Musk's SpaceX and other newer contractors have discussed a consortium to jointly bid for U.S. defense deals and outcompete the Beltway's legacy players, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #414

My brain is doing its level best today to try to convince me that I am not lovable and that everything is pointless.

I can also tell, by a variety of other cues, that it's getting closer to the next time I'm supposed to bleed.

...I now know that these two thing are related. I don't need to allow hormone-induced feelings of apathy and worthlessness get the better of me. I can tend to myself properly in the here and now. I'll make sure to hydrate and eat properly.

I made a tea when I woke up – the biscuit-flavored one. I sweetened it with honey, molasses, and mascarpone. But I didn't think to get a picture. Sorry about that.

J wanted me to accompany him on the way to the little airport; he wanted to try flying his little plane on a very breezy day, and today was that day. He wasn't prepared to take me up with him, what with the breeze being like this, so I chilled out in the little office building and worked on my weird crafting project. At the same time, some new person from the friend-making app who lives in Russia decided to message me for reasons I don't understand.

The conversation was pleasant enough. Though, he asked some very specific questions about the structure and flow of my relationship with M and J, which I was not opposed to answering. Still, I guess I get surprised by the number of people who imagine that what I have going on is some kinky, freaky sex thing rather than a mostly ordinary marriage with an atypical number of people.

To be sure, our main focus within our relationship is on who we are as people, how well we treat each other, and how effectively we communicate. I am intimate with them, but... that's not really where the focus is. The focus is on spending time with each other and making sure we understand each other well. We're people, not toys for each other's entertainment.

...It's actually kinda frightening, the number of people who don't seem to understand that other people aren't just fun toys to play with or mere extension of their own will. It's frightening, the number of people who don't understand that a healthy relationship between people looks like “two or more loving, consenting adults doing their best to meet the needs of everyone involved”, not like “an adult putting up with the quirks of their live masturbatory aid(s) in order to get that fresh hot nookie.”

I am NO ONE'S convenience object. Not anyfuckingmore. And never, EVER again.

...And neither are you, you know. You're no one's weapon, tool, or machine. You are you. Start acting like it, okay? Or at least work on becoming someone who can act like it. And if you need help, pop by my house and we'll teach you. Because we don't treat people like objects in my house. We'll show you what it means to be treated like an ordinary human being. Because you are an ordinary human being, underneath all those layers of pain you carry.

That one immigration lawyer that we got help from sent along a request by some Canadian radio show place to talk to trans folks who are seeking to escape the United States in favor of Canada. I am a non-binary human – a woman in the same way that a tomato is a fruit. I am mostly happy with my current reproductive equipment, but... I feel like I'm “missing bits”, if you catch my drift. Essentially, I have only half of what I feel like I should be equipped with, and it bothers me sometimes.

I was emailed by this radio show place. And then I was called for a preliminary interview. I struggled to keep my thoughts organized over the phone, but... I guess I did a good enough job, according to the person who spoke to me. I guess I'll be summoned via an internet meeting software called Zoom at some point tomorrow. I guess lots of folks will hear me.

...This scares me. But... I gotta be brave and use my voice for good things whenever I can. I have to try to do... something. Anything.

...Y'know. Sephiroth. I really didn't wanna hafta live through “interesting times”. And I'm sure you didn't wanna hafta do that, either, over there in your world. Really, I just wanna eat tasty snacks and sing and make cool things and play video games and go swimming and take naps with the people I like. I'm sure you can relate to this – this desire for an ordinary, wholesome life.

...Let's both do our best within the timelines we live in anyways, though, okay? Let's try to do good things. Let's try to be kind, and let's try to make gentle, loving choices so that we can inspire others to do the same.

...And hey, who knows, maybe if... maybe if I eventually get scooped up into a prison camp and executed just for being myself... maybe somehow I'll get to go see you. And I'll say hello and tell you how you saved my life when I was a teenager and how much I love you just because you're you. And maybe I'll tell you all about the stories that happened to me before you came into my life, and everything that happened between then and now. And maybe... just maybe... one full human life, existing in stark defiance of all that tried to snuff it out, can be enough to show you that you are a good thing, and to inspire you to make choices in light of that belief.

In the meantime, I guess I'll figure out something to eat, and then I'll smash up some zombies in Hades. You can come chill with me if you want to:

twitch_live

I love you. Stay safe. Be good. I'll write again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

Graduates (5)🎓

Abeba Girma

Valedictorian / President, Young Lawyers Association / Broussard Justice Recipient

Abeba has done it again - highest GPA, on the fast track to make Junior partner before she even moved into her desk at the law firm. Her parents, Ephrem and Mazaa are over the moon.

She will be taking a position in international law to help refugees and people who cannot afford to pay with immigration issues. She also secured a grant so that she can offer her services pro bono. Now to find a home for her and her Fiancée Baldwin.

Baldwin Levesque

Computer Science Major / Young Innovators in Tech Award Recipient 🥇/ Valadictorian

Baldwin has hit the ground running - he’s already begun working for Meditech ™️ and is on the fast track to running his own team. He’ll be creating medical software that will play a role in medical surgery. Needless to say, his mother Xio is beyond pleased. His father Manu and his sister Zora are proud, but expected nothing less.

He and his fiancé Abeba just have one task aside from wedding plans – finding a home.

Micah Broussard

Journalism Major / Writer, Foxbury Insider

He made it, y’all. His parents, Bruce & Esther had their fingers crossed most of the time, but we’re here.

Although he originally wanted to be a sports journalist (if you’ve been following along, you know why… but let’s not bring her up right now), but thanks to his professor, he decided to go down the novelist path, while working for a digital paper in the meantime.

Now that he’s about to be a father, this suits him just fine. It will give him time to bring in a steady paycheck while working on his first book. Lucky for him, there are plenty of writers in the family to help guide him through the process. And Bubbe Ida and his sisters Shalom & Noa pie, of course.

Next up? Finish moving, baby shower, wedding. Possibly in that order.

Alma Ramos

Journalism Major / Editor-In-Chief, Foxybury Insider / Latina Writer’s Guild / Foxbury

Granted, this is not how Alma saw her Uni experience ending. However, as all writers know, some of the best experiences are the plot twists. And maybe this is just a detour; plenty of young mothers manage to raise their children and have careers. She has a loving, committed partner in Micah, so anything is possible. Not to mention a strong family in her Abuelo Luis, her Tia Benni and her prima Yadira and Ya’s fiancée Ciara.

An attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who’s overseeing a high-profile deportation case in Louisiana says she was stripped of her electronics moments before a pivotal hearing, preventing her from accessing evidence and court records that remained available to the three US government attorneys in the room, each of whom were allowed use of a laptop by the court.

Louisiana immigration judge Jamee Comans ruled late last month that Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil was eligible for deportation. During that hearing, however, Khalil’s attorney Nora Ahmed says she was barred from bringing her laptop into the courtroom, despite having filed the proper paperwork in advance and being a frequent visitor to the immigration facility.

“There should not be an advantage, no matter how small or how large, provided to a particular party over the other,” says Ahmed. “Because that starts to infect the proceedings themselves and the notion of fundamental fairness that we all uphold in courtroom proceedings.”

The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment. Attempts to reach Comans through the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) were unsuccessful.

The son of Palestinian refugees, Khalil,—a US green card holder—became a key figure last year in the Columbia University protests against the war in Gaza, joining a coalition of student organizations espousing outrage and calling for divestment over the Israeli military’s bombings of hospitals, schools, and homes in the wake of the surprise attacks by Hamas-led militants in October 2023. Khalil remains one of the most high-profile targets of the Trump administration’s ongoing push to expel foreign students protesting Israel’s actions.

The US government has not accused Khalil, whose wife and newborn son were born in the US, of committing any crime. The government acknowledged last month that Khalil had been detained without a warrant due to “exigent circumstances,” claiming the 30-year-old graduate student, whose wife was eight months pregnant at the time, was a “flight risk.”

Following his arrest at his university-owned apartment complex in New York on March 8, Khalil was transported to the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, a for-profit prison overseen by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), where he is now subject to a tribunal system that bears little resemblance to the US courts that hear citizens’ cases. A majority of people fighting deportation cannot afford—nor do they have any recognized right—to legal representation. (This includes, most glaringly, the tens of thousands of unaccompanied children who enter the US each year.) Political influence weighs heavily on the system, which, nestled under the Justice Department, is invariably subject to the whims of the current occupant of the White House, with its judges serving by appointment of the US attorney general.

In an unusual move, on April 8, Comans booted nearly 600 people attempting to observe one of Khalil’s hearings over the court’s videoconferencing software, declaring that, going forward, only his attorneys or wife would be permitted to view the proceedings online. Ahmed, legal director of the ACLU of Louisiana, appeared to argue against the enhanced secrecy on April 11.

Electronics in the detention area are strictly forbidden, but Ahmed had filed paperwork the previous night to ensure that when the hearing began, she’d be allowed, as Khalil’s legal representative, to enter the courtroom with her laptop in line with EOIR policy. Nevertheless, in a sworn declaration, Ahmed says that minutes before the hearing began she was informed by the detention center staff that, on Comans' instructions, she was forbidden from bringing her devices inside, forcing her to turn over her laptop to the faculty and enter the courtroom empty-handed. Once the hearing began, Khalil says, she sat opposite three Homeland Security attorneys, with each their own laptop.

The Hollywood image of attorneys wheeling stacks of bankers’ boxes into court is mostly antiquated, says Ahmed, whose gigabytes worth of trial data are digitally stored. “You effectively are using the technology that you have to be able to respond in real time, or inquire in real time, or to show your client in real time, what evidence the government may be talking about or responding to,” she tells WIRED. “That’s always very critical, because you want to make sure that any representation that’s being made by the other side is factual.”

Michelle Méndez, an attorney at the National Immigration Project, says the asymmetry in access to technology and resources between the government and non-citizens in court is a reflection of who controls it.

“As long as immigration courts are under the direction of the executive branch, non-citizens are never going to receive a fundamentally fair proceeding," she says.

Méndez notes that, since February 2022, the Justice Department has required all immigration attorneys to file documents with the courts electronically, effectively establishing the expectation that attorneys should rely on digital access for court filings, case citations, and other subject matter, rather than risk expensive continuances in notoriously backlogged courts.

"The image of somebody coming in with boxes is definitely apt in those circumstances," she says, of the sheer volume of material attorneys would be required to lug around without electronic access. “The worst-case scenario is that the attorney misses out on being able to offer the court whatever it is that the court seeks from them. They don't have it.”

According to Ahmed, both the ICE center’s warden, Shad Rice, and Khalil’s judge denied ordering the ban, which Ahmed says she received word of only minutes before the hearing began. “When I inquired as to why, I was told that it was the immigration judge that had made the determination,” she tells WIRED. She requested to speak with the judge privately before the hearing, she says, but her request was denied.

Ahmed says Comans eventually informed her that the electronics ban had come at the request of the ICE facility. But when pressed to allow Ahmed to confer with the warden, who was also in the room at the time, the request was denied. “It seemed particularly unjust to Mr. Khalil,” she says, “as he looked at the Department of Homeland Security attorneys who had three laptops at their table.” During the hearing, she adds, the government lawyers were conducting Google searches, writing emails, and reading from papers as the proceedings took place.

In a declaration filed with the court, Ahmed states that she spoke to Warden Rice after the hearing had concluded and that the warden indicated that the judge "appeared to contradict herself" when she blamed the faculty at the detention center for denying Amhed access to her devices. Ahmed corresponded with Rice over the following week, working to ensure that the computer ban would not remain in effect.

The warden eventually responded on April 25, saying they’d met with the EOIR, which oversees removal proceedings on behalf of the DOJ. Ahmed was informed there’d be no attempt from the facility to strip her of her devices going forward, but that the judge ultimately held the authority to remove any electronics deemed “a distraction” or inessential to “representing the client.”

In a subsequent motion, Ahmed wrote that the courts had long recognized the obligation of prison officials to refrain from “placing obstacles in the way” of an attorney communicating with a prisoner, adding that the denial of her electronics during the hearing not only contradicted DOJ policy, but “greater notions of fundamental fairness that animate our legal system.”

ICE declined to comment. Warden Rice could not be reached for comment. Christopher Ferreira, a spokesperson for GEO Group, which runs the ICE detention center, says the for-profit prison company follows the guidance handed to it by its government partners: "Decisions related to access to courtrooms and legal visitation areas at the ICE Processing Centers, where GEO provides support services, are made in consultation with ICE and EOIR.”

Anthony Enriquez, an attorney with RFK Human Rights, says much of what's happening in the Khalil case is emblematic of larger structural issues in the immigration system. “We talk a lot about due process, about how it applies to everyone in the country, whether or not you're a citizen or a non-citizen,” he says. "But the very procedures and the courts that we use to determine whether or not people do have a right to stay in the United States, there's a fundamental flaw in them where both the prosecutor and the adjudicator are part of the same prosecutorial branch, the executive branch."

"The judges that are presiding over immigration cases; they're called immigration judges in name," he adds. "But in actual form, they're really just employees of the Department of Justice."

Second only to Texas in number of detainees, Louisiana’s nine immigration detention centers have faced allegations of human rights abuses in recent years, from physical and sexual assaults to medical neglect and bug-infested food. In an August 2024 report, compiled in part by the ACLU itself, the system was described by a coalition of civil rights organizations as an “inhumane” corporate “profit machine,” where “basic human rights are systematically ignored.”

Khalil’s case in Louisiana is effectively on hold for much of this month following a ruling by a US District Court judge in New Jersey, who last week shot down the Trump administration effort to stop Khalil from suing the government. In a 108-page ruling, New Jersey District Judge Michael Farbiarz said the government had no authority to prevent the court from reviewing Khalil’s claims. Khalil has accused the US government of unlawfully detaining him for political views in violation of the First Amendment.

In a statement, Khalil’s wife, Noor Abdalla, a Michigan-born dentist, said the New Jersey ruling had come to her as a relief. “This is an important step toward securing Mahmoud’s freedom. But there is still more work to be done,” she says. “I will continue to strongly advocate for my husband, so he can come home to our family and feel the pure joy all parents know of holding your first-born child in your arms.”

Matt Gertz at MMFA:

Maria Bartiromo repeatedly used her Fox Business show to peddle an election fraud conspiracy theory that she claimed originated with the wife of a friend of a friend in Texas and that she made no apparent effort to confirm. But when the Texas Department of Public Safety and the local Republican Party investigated her reckless allegation, they discovered that none of it was true. On Sunday morning, Bartiromo posted an item to X alleging that “a massive line of immigrants” had been obtaining driver’s licenses and registering to vote at three Department of Motor Vehicles offices in Texas:

[From a friend ... Friend of mine’s wife had to take her 16 yr old son to the DMV this week for a new license. Couldn’t get an online appointment(all full) so went in person and had to go to 3 DMV’s to get something done. First DMV was in Weatherford. Had a massive line of immigrants getting licenses and had a tent and table outside the front door of the DMV registering them to vote! Second one was in Fort Worth with same lines and same Dems out front. Third one was in North Fort Worth had no lines but had same voter registration drive.]

Bartiromo brought the wildly flimsy allegation to Fox’s airwaves the following day, having apparently done no independent reporting to confirm claims that she said originated with the wife of a friend of her friend. She brought up the story in at least three segments on the Monday and Tuesday editions of her Fox program — including in interviews with two Republican U.S. senators.

[...]

Bartiromo’s history of promoting absurd election conspiracy theories

Bartiromo’s ludicrously thin claims of Democrats trying to register undocumented immigrants to vote in the 2024 presidential election fit neatly within her recent career. Bartiromo promoted a series of wild claims about election fraud following the 2020 election. Her deeds included hosting Trumpist lawyer Sidney Powell to baselessly allege that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the vote against Donald Trump. She brought Powell on after Powell forwarded her an email from a woman who claimed that Dominion’s software flipped votes from Trump to Joe Biden — and also that “the Wind tells me I’m a ghost, but I don’t believe it.” Her Dominion segments were featured in the company’s defamation lawsuit against Fox, which resulted in her network paying a record settlement. But they had no apparent impact on her standing at Fox: She retains a weekly Fox News show and a three-hour weekday show on Fox Business, giving her platforms where she can ask U.S. senators about unverified thirdhand claims. That leaves her well-positioned to help Trump if he once again tries to subvert a presidential election.

FBN host Maria Bartiromo in hot water for spreading batcray conspiracies.

How Law Firm CRM Software Transforms Legal Client Retention and Practice Growth

In the legal world, keeping your clients happy and keeping them coming back can be just as important as landing new ones. In fact, it usually costs much more to attract a new client than it does to retain an existing one. But despite this, many law firms are still stuck using outdated tools to manage their client relationships.

That’s where Law firm CRM software makes a real difference. It helps firms stay organized, respond faster, and keep clients in the loop without adding to the team’s workload. With smart automation and centralized tools, legal client management platforms make it easier to deliver consistent, reliable service that builds trust over time.

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at the common challenges law firms face with client retention and how a legal CRM can make a difference.

Why Client Retention Is So Hard for Law Firms

Legal clients expect a lot. When someone hires a lawyer, it’s usually for something deeply personal, high-stakes, and often stressful. But many firms still lose clients because of issues like:

Lack of communication: Clients feel like they’re left in the dark.

Inconsistent service: Notes get lost, updates are missed, or staff changes lead to confusion.

Poor transparency: Clients don’t know what’s happening with their case and start to lose trust.

This is especially true in immigration and family law, where emotions are high, and cases can stretch over months or even years. If a firm can’t keep clients informed and reassured, they’re likely going to look elsewhere next time.

Traditional tools like spreadsheets, sticky notes, or generic email reminders just can’t keep up with today’s expectations. That’s why so many modern firms are turning to law firm CRM software.

Why CRM Matters in Legal Client Retention

A good Client Relationship Management (CRM) system does more than just track contact info. It becomes the nerve center of your client communication.

With a legal client management platform, your firm can:

Track every interaction, from first contact to case resolution

Automate reminders, follow-ups, and key deadlines

Send personalized messages that make clients feel seen and valued

Store case notes, emails, and documents in one secure place

This is especially helpful for attorney-client relationship management, where a missed update or forgotten email can cost more than just a bad review. It can mean lost trust, lost referrals, or even lost cases.

For instance, in immigration and family law practices, client relationships are often more complex and emotional. A strong CRM system becomes essential, not just for managing logistics but for delivering the kind of support clients truly need.

These areas of law require consistent communication, empathy, and clear documentation at every stage. The system helps you capture every single detail while keeping clients informed and reassured.

Immigration law involves long case timelines, multiple stakeholders, and critical deadlines. A CRM helps manage follow-ups, visa status updates, and document requests efficiently.

Family law deals with sensitive issues and rapidly changing circumstances. CRM tools ensure all communication is logged, updates are timely, and clients feel supported during difficult times.

Benefits of Using Legal CRM Software

Investing in a powerful legal client management platform brings numerous advantages, including:

Improved lead conversion: Better intake processes and faster follow-ups increase the likelihood of turning inquiries into clients.

Streamlined onboarding: Automated workflows guide new clients through the setup process.

Centralized communication: No more digging through email threads or sticky notes.

Consistent service: Automated reminders and notifications ensure you don’t miss any details.

Time savings: Attorneys and staff can spend more time on strategy and client interaction, less on admin.

Integration with case management: A unified platform connects CRM with legal case management for a seamless experience.

Whether you’re a solo attorney or managing a busy team, these benefits directly contribute to stronger client relationships and greater retention.

Final Thoughts

If you want your law firm to grow, start by focusing on the clients you already have. Retention isn't just about sending birthday emails; it’s about being consistent, responsive, and proactive. And that’s exactly what law firm CRM software helps you do.

MyLegalSoftware (MyLS) brings together robust CRM, case management, invoicing, lead gen, and more, all in one platform built specifically for legal professionals.

Whether you’re working in immigration, family law, or another high-touch practice area, MyLS helps you stay organized, build trust, and grow smarter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is law firm CRM software and how does it differ from general CRM systems?

Law firm CRM software is tailored for legal workflows, integrating case management, intake, and client communication, unlike general CRMs designed for sales or marketing teams.

How does legal client management platform integration with case management improve client retention?

Integrated platforms keep client data, case updates, and communication in one place, ensuring consistent service and faster response times that improve trust and retention.

What specific features should immigration lawyers look for in a legal CRM system?

Key features include multilingual communication, deadline reminders, document tracking, intake automation, and secure portals for managing complex immigration case timelines.

Can CRM help manage referrals and lead tracking for immigration lawyers?

Yes, CRM software tracks referral sources and automates follow-ups, helping lawyers convert leads efficiently and grow their client base.

Is legal CRM software secure enough for sensitive case details in family and immigration law?

Most legal CRMs use encryption, access controls, and secure portals to protect confidential case data and comply with legal privacy standards.

Global Immigration Management with Legal Experts and Strategic Solutions

While it is exciting to move to another country, the paperwork is... not so exciting. The paperwork usually includes the visa application forms, legal requirements, and each immigration law change, you might feel like you are navigating a maze blindfolded. This is where international immigration lawyers come in - your legal GPS to help you dodge dead ends and successfully reach your destination.

Whether you're an individual planning to relocate or a multinational corporation expanding its global workforce, having the right legal support is vital. International immigration lawyers, corporate immigration lawyers, and experienced providers of legal immigration services play a crucial role in managing this process efficiently and lawfully.

In this blog, we explore the importance of global immigration management, the challenges organizations and individuals face, and how legal partners like Aeren LPO can deliver comprehensive solutions tailored to your needs.

What Are International Immigration Lawyers, and Why Do You Need One?

Think of international immigration lawyers as your personal guides through the complex world of visas, work permits, and residency laws. They specialize in helping people and businesses move across borders legally and efficiently.

What Do They Do?

Evaluate your eligibility for visas, work permits, or residency.

Prepare and file documents correctly (because one mistake can mean rejection).
