There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda
The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
state bars are trying to figure that out as we speak , I’m sure.
doj seems to be just inventing a way to interfere with state ethics enforcement.
prob bc of the scores of federal lawyers being asked to violate ethics rules as a condition of continued employment @ doj
it’s gibberish who tf knows
my favorite: “before a current or former Department lawyer may participate in any investigative steps initiated by the
bar disciplinary authority . . .”
they’re openly declaring war on ethics

It's interesting that filing an amicus brief supporting the interpretation of birthright citizenship that has existed for over a century is a point for partisanship, but setting up a farm system for exclusively conservative judges is not
THIIIIIIIIIS.
And not just here. All over the place.
Like, I’d love a future Dem President to say “I’ve scoured the Constitution and can’t find a ‘major question’ rule anywhere in it. So I’m just going to ignore that effort to arrogate power to yourself. That imbalance? Checked.”
antitrust is back baby
The most unsettling part isn’t seeing a bunch of 8th grade-ass lawyers torch a once-great institution. It’s seeing most of the profession shrug in detached indifference while it burns.

Everything goes in cycles in American politics, and when this MAGA cycle ends soon we must not forget the CEOs, law firms, and media elites who bent the knee to Trump and sold out America for money, power, and access.
Gun reform isn’t just about what happens at the point of arrest. What happens at the point of sale is just as important.
Our win against Fleet Farm reinforces a simple principle: when corporations enable crime, they must be held accountable.
The DA in Minneapolis is investigating Bovino and others.
Screenshot of a tweet from x.com by Senator Dave McCormick that reads: Now would be a good time for Democrats to drop their opposition to DHS funding and pass the bill to support our homeland security. Continuing to play political games with our national security given the unfolding situation in the Middle East is dangerous.
Boy, does this make me think of Justice Jackson’s Youngstown concurrence, in which he warns of the danger of a president unilaterally initiating a war, and then using that war as a bootstrap to claim extraordinary powers at home.

"The citizen’s safety lies in the prosecutor who seeks truth and not victims, who serves the law and not factional purposes, and who approaches his task with humility.” -- Robert H. Jackson.

Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly
On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.
someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now
DA Mulroy rejects Marsha's bad-faith claim he isn't prosecuting cases from the not-so-safe nazi task force:
"We'd be happy to sit down . . . No one has contacted us. Perhaps after her campaign for governor. . ."

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
