I’m not sure non-lawyers realize how unheard of this is.

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

Judge Blackwell had ordered the SHOW CAUSE hearing because he was frustrated that in 5 Habeas cases he was presiding over, he felt his orders were being ignored, leaving immigrant detainees unconstitutionally locked up for days. Ms. Le said that govt lawyers just cannot keep up.

I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar.

If you have more information about the District of Minnesotaβ€”either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Officeβ€”and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: β€œNo, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

WATCH: Prem Attends Memorial at Scene of Murder in Minneapolis See what Prem saw at the memorial for the 37-year-old mother killed by ICE in Minneapolis, plus interview with Omar Fateh and residents.

We visited Renee Good's memorial.

There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans β€” who too have been viciously attacked for weeks β€”Β warmly hosting everyone.

Flowers & stuffed animals galore.
Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water.
Grief. And belief.

Scenes from Minneapolis:

Call me a nerd, but yesterday, a federal judge in Pennsylvania cited my reporting in a ruling against the DOJ in a case challenging Trump-era actions targeting transgender people.

A reminder that this work really does matter.

Immigration Agents Are Using Air Passenger Data for Deportation Effort

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

FDA Slow Walking a Long-Awaited Abortion Pill Safety Study The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a promised review of safety data for the abortion drug mifepristone at Commissioner Marty Makary’s request to put it off until after the midterm elections,...

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
