The First Amendment protects our rights to protest and record federal agents performing their duties in public view. Revoking someoneβs Global Entry status in retaliation for that activity is unconstitutional.

It's a great result in the tariffs case, but let's get ahead of the "SCOTUS is great now!" takes that we're bound to hear. This interview on "autocratic legalism" is a helpful explainer.

Left, my story about how the right wing ex-Honduran president was given special treatment after he was pardoned for drug trafficking - and had his ICE detainer dropped.
Right, a story about a man who spent 43 yrs in prison for a wrongful conviction & was deported once his convicted was overturned
I'm skeptical about Bivens. BUT every trans person incarcerated in the BOP should file an FTCA admin claim -- straightforward medical malpractice for violation of the community standard of care.

Would it be better for people to say βthis was a bad policy at the time and we knew it, but we thought we had to do it to keep power/to ward off even worse policy/etc.β?

As Iβve worked since I was 14, Iβm not terribly excited by a second career in mining.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says theyβve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Donβt be fooled by headlines when theyβve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
This is a government that WANTS to hurt people.
