Two months ago, 25-year-old Ilia Chernov beat long odds and convinced an immigration judge to grant him political asylum in the U.S. Normally, that finding would have been enough for Chernov to obtain legal status and live freely in the U.S. Chernov’s judge told him that he would soon be released. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement has refused to free Chernov, stranding him in detention. Immigration law experts that TPM spoke with could not recall another case that matches this set of facts.

The Senate is poised to pass the GENIUS Act in the coming weeks. The bill will bestow upon the crypto industry a long-sought blessing: a key form of the digital currency, stablecoins, will now be subject to a bespoke (and notably light-touch) regulatory system created by Congress. With it will come the U.S. government’s stamp of approval. After years spent being dismissed as a haven for money launderers and speculators, the bill is in part a marker that the industry has arrived in Washington.

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it didn’t take too kindly to the immigration policies of hundreds of municipalities across the country. It posted a list of “sanctuary cities,” jurisdictions that allegedly limit information-sharing and other forms of cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Unfortunately for the administration, the list, off the bat, sparked more confusion than fear.
