Did you have immigration lawyer watch list on your 2025 authoritarianism BINGO card? If so, congrats! But for everyone else, it’s yet another sad slide into federal control to learn that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted what appears to be a covert roster of immigration attorneys buried on its own website.
The list was discovered by attorney Arlene Amarante, who stumbled upon the list while interacting with ICE’s website and found her own name on it. The list has since been pulled from the website, which is usually what agencies do when a documents is totally normal. Now Al Otro Lado, an immigration advocacy group, has filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding to know who created the list, why it existed, and what ICE thought it was doing cataloging attorneys in the first place.
OneDrive files not being able to be downloaded by external parties would really annoy me if it was like that at work, because that’s what I have to use to share files if our or their email system likes to think that the files I rightfully need to send to clients are “inappropriate”.
Seems like some systems block any files that are not a standard PDF file or similar.
It can be pretty annoying. We wind up creating extranet sites or using other services. (We have some ftp-like file services that work for us.)
