Newly Uncovered Document Reveals An 'Alarming And Disturbing' Trump Threat The Trump administration is turning the screws on kids who’ve arrived in the United States without adults accompanying them.

🚨A newly uncovered document flagged last week in a federal court filing threatens undocumented immigrant children in government custody with β€œprolonged” detention if they choose to exercise their legal rights rather than voluntarily depart the United States.

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

The DC β€˜Sandwich Guy’ Speaks In Exclusive HuffPost Interview In an interview with HuffPost, Sean Dunn said the memes and artwork helped him through a frightening legal ordeal. Just don’t call him a β€œhero.”

I spoke with 'Sandwich Guy' Sean Dunn about his uncomfortable newfound celebrity, the militarized and 'frightening' raid to re-arrest him, and the boost he got from all your sandwich memes and street art.

Oh, and now we know what kind of sandwich it was.

πŸ₯ͺ The jury still hasn't reached a verdict in the assault trial of the DC Sandwich Guy. We're getting close to seven hours of deliberation here at U.S. District Court.

The jury reached out to the judge earlier today for clarification on the term "bodily harm."

Sandwich guy's team zeroes in on the gag gifts that Agent Lairmore accepted from other agents, including a sandwich plush toy and the "Felony Footlong" patch he put on his lunch box.

"If someone assaulted you, offended you, would you keep a memento of that assault? ... Of course not."

Defense comes out blazing in closing argument, attacks agent Lairmore's credibility.

"This case is about a sandwich. A sandwich that, according to agent Lairmore, somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of onions and mustard, but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapping."

We're back at the trial of Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy. Prosecutors are making their closing argument that Dunn committed assault.

"This case is not about someone with strong opinions, it’s not about immigration, it’s not about the First Amendment. It’s about an individual who crossed the line."

The jury in the DC Sandwich Guy case is being released for the day. Trial expected to resume tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. Not clear if any more witnesses will testify. A verdict tomorrow looks likely. See you then!

Lairmore testifies that other agents gave him a plush sandwich toy, which he placed on the shelf in his office, and a patch that said "Felony Footlong," which he put on his lunch box.

Lairmore has chuckled with the rest of us at times. Defense really trying to underscore the unseriousness of it all

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw.

"Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks.

Lairmore won't confirm.

"I did not go back to collect it," he says.

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'

Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Nebraska’s β€˜Cornhusker Clink’ for migrant detainees upends rural community Nebraska residents and former inmates are frustrated by plans to turn a Work Ethic Camp into an immigrant detention center called the β€œCornhusker Clink.”

A perfect story for our times.

Nebraska is getting its own immigrant detention center like Florida's Alligator Alcatraz. But people are upset because the center is replacing a work camp that provides the local economy with cheap prison labor.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

ICE boasted over the arrest of Sydney Reid, a DC woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent in an altercation with ICE officers near DC Jail.

Today a jury found Reid NOT GUILTY on a misdemeanor -- after grand juries no-billed the case 3 TIMES.

Folks, don't let ICE lecture you about rocket science.

Trump Plans To Keep Paying Immigration Agents While Other Federal Workers Go Without Paychecks The move amounts to special treatment for Trump’s favorite constituency within the federal bureaucracy.

Internal DHS memo shows Trump plans to keep paying ICE agents and Border Patrol officers throughout the shutdown, while other feds go without pay.

Even the DHS administrative staff processing the paychecks won't get theirs, employee tells me.
