Theyโre still lying to us.

So let me get this straight: while everyday Americans worry about safety, Kash is assigning a full-time SWAT detail to his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins for hair appointments and gigs? SWAT is for โextremely high-risk situations,โ not VIP boyfriend perks.

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.
And this is what they called it.
www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...
This case is insane:
ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*
The young man they killed had no criminal history.
All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.
We don't know officers' names.
We don't have footage.

Trump has ordered the Treasury to send him $10 billion in cash & $10 billion for a slush fund (on top of the $200 million in cash stolen from Venezuela for another slush fund), on top of $10+ billion gotten from foreign governments in exchange for favors, but do go on about not taking a salary ...
Who needs a salary when you're taking billions in bribes
Let see...
Harvard Law - Jamie Raskin JD
Stetson University - Pam Bondi JD
I wonder which one knows more and which one is the "loser lawyer"?
โYou donโt tell me anything, washed-up loser lawyer!โ
Is it asking too much to have an Attorney General who doesnโt sound like a drunk in a trailer park brawl?
Apparently, it is.
easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is โi will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens unitedโ
If Bondiโs testimony before Congress doesnโt scare the shit out of you youโre living in a Dream World. Sheโs ready and willing to harm and/or kill any American citizen who may harm her Fuhrer. Pam Bondi is Eva Braun w a presidential mandate to beat all Americans into submission ๐บ๐ธ
To everyone thanking me, much appreciated but not why I posted! Pls support your local immigrant defense group like:
The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota: www.ilcm.org/donate/
Or my hometown LUCE: www.lucemass.org/donate
Or Google your city/state & โimmigrant defenseโ to find your local heroes!
And please thank lawyers doing this work. Weโre carrying a lot of trauma for voiceless clients. We are tired. We have become experts in new law under the most dire circumstances.
If you can, donate to immigration defense funds. Theyโve been at it the longest and have the least resources.
30/end?
So the confrontations, violent apprehensions, and general fear bearing down on communities like Minnesota is only the beginning of the nightmare. Behind the scenes, Orwellian anti-judicial antics thwart lawful recourse. And hidden from sight, non-citizens are tortured for being noncitizens.
29/
Like I said when I started, I donโt know what to expect from posting this here. Maybe in hopes it galvanizes 1 of my ~5 followers.
But at the very least, thank you if you read all the way through. We must not look away.
28/
People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy.
But if youโre okay with this, thatโs not a political opinion. That is a moral failing.
27/
These are the conditions under which the Trump regime wants to detain noncitizens indefinitely. It violates international law, the Eighth Amendment, and our own laws & regulations.
And the DOJ and DHS are willing to manipulate any law, defy any court order, to keep doing so.
26/
I had a pregnant client who was experiencing abdominal cramping for three days and was deprived of medical care. When we interceded, she was punished.
A first grader snatched two days after surgery denied wound care.
A client who developed a large painful cyst but was ignored.
25/
A transplant recipient whose body was rejecting his organ because DHS wonโt give him his absolutely essential anti-rejection meds. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-arrests-...

4. Medical malpractice. Hereโs why I say stopping this detention-to Texas pipeline is life of death.
An 18-month old hospitalized after nearly dying of three simultaneous respiratory infections. When she returned to the camp, DHS withheld her meds.

2. Non-potable water. Clients have reported becoming ill from chemical-tasting water. Some developed rashes.
3. Deplorable accommodations. A client sick with the flu was forced to sleep on a frigid concrete floor. In Camp East Montana, fetid water leaches through the roof and soaks the beds.
/22
And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment.
1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasnโt fed for >36 hours.
21/
I had two clients moved within an hour of ICE learning we were looking for them and advising us there was not plan to move them.
A family of four moved 36 hours after a court order forbidding them from being moved.
3 other clients moved within a day of court-ordered injunctions.
20/
And even when we move at warp speed and outpace this regime, DHS doesnโt care. Theyโve moved people to Texas hours or days after being enjoined.
When ordered to return them, DHS justโฆ doesnโt. The AUSAs let them: when we notify them of a violation, they send the email equivalent of a shrug.
19/
So itโs a race: how quickly can a personโs family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?
Itโs exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.
18/
See ICE wants these cases in Texas, where Trump-infected courts are more tolerant of their antics, more biased against non-citizens, more willing to let DHS fill up concentration camps.
(Not all Texas judges, for sure. Plenty are bravely faithful to the rule of law. ICE is playing the numbers)
17/
Meanwhile, DHS shows its contempt for the judiciary in a different way. In dozens, likely now thousands, of cases, DHS openly defies court orders.
Minnesota courts enter orders forbidding ICE from moving noncitizens whoโve filed habeas petitions out of Minnesota. They move them anyway.
16/
Yet asst. U.S. attorneysโAUSA used to be an esteemed titleโcontinue to make this frivolous argument over and over in bald-faced arguments in case after case. Theyโve been told no many thousands of times. They admit (remarkably) in their filings that they know their arguments are meritless.
15/
And the canon that instructs us to draw understanding of a statuteโs meaning from its title. The list goes on.
The governmentโs argument for why it is entitled to strip residents of their due process rights and lock them away indefinitely is easily the most frivolous argument Iโve ever seen.
14/
It violates other canons too. The governmentโs reading renders an entire act of Congressโthe GOP-championed Laken Riley Actโsuperfluous. So it violates the canon against superfluity.
It violates the ejusdem canon, which says similar language in similar statutes has the same meaning.
