ICE is abducting our children 😭 #ice #queens #nyc #astoria TikTok video by The Rana Show

This clip of a teacher who worked with Yuanxin, the 6 year old boy who was abducted by ICE and separated from his dad, completely crushed me. And DHS still won’t say where Yuanxin is.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

feel like not nearly enough people are talking about this — apparently the democratic “yes” votes have effectively agreed to having the u.s. government write 6 republican senators $500k checks?

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches

It’s a sign of the times that the only Americans who will be able to obtain damages for constitutional violations are these corrupt Senators whose rights weren’t violated at all.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

CBP Officer:

"I could smell the onions & Mustard!" 🤣😭

Defense Attorney:

"Do you recognize that sandwich?"
😭💀

How Trump’s DOJ wiped out a pioneering anti-violence nonprofit “We’re just the tip of the iceberg.”

Reps for a dozen nonprofits that lost federal funding to do community violence intervention work—due to Trump's DOJ cancelling their grants—say they've had to cut staff & programs, which will undermine public safety.

Here's the story of one, Equal Justice USA, that didn't survive. @motherjones.com

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Ah. Who could have guessed this might become a problem?

I have to recommend my book (Inside the Cell), or if you have access, the Modern Scientific Evidence’s treatise chapter on DNA.

When the grift pays better than government work…

BREAKING: Judge rules that during its large-scale enforcement operation in LA, DHS/ICE has been arresting people without probable cause -- based on factors like accent and line of work.

She orders the agencies to stop.

How Much Worse Is This Going to Get? Political violence poses an existential threat to our nation and our freedoms—but it’s not too late.

Opinion | This is what ICE is doing with the tax dollars you already provide it Immigration and Customs Enforcement stands to see a sharp increase in its funding under the Republican budget bill.

Trump's secret police now has a budget larger than the US Marine Corps. And here's a look at how they're spending all this money.

For a detailed analysis of case law on administrative v judicial warrants & the line between obstruction and asserting your rights, read my student’s amazing new paper:

What Should You Do if ICE Comes to Your Restaurant? We spoke to legal experts about what restaurant owners and workers can do to protect themselves from immigration raids

I updated this piece from February with new guidance on what workers and owners can do if ICE shows up at your restaurant www.eater.com/24364171/ice...

Masked Terror At this point, we have all seen the videos.

One of our earliest civil rights statutes was designed to protect us against masked gangs who violate our constitutional rights. This particular history makes the masked ICE gangs uniquely repugnant. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Why a picture with Nancy? She was the only one selfless enough to step aside! And frankly I preferred her speech ripping, side-eyeing antics to Jeffries’ exceedingly measured, college professor tone!

A powerful tool in Trump’s immigration crackdown: the routine traffic stop ICE is vastly expanding its enforcement powers by deputizing local police officers. Many of those picked up during traffic stops have no violent criminal record.

"A teenager on his way to volleyball practice, a young father picking up baby formula and construction workers on their way to job sites." These are Trump's targets, not the violent criminals he promised. In the end, we will all be less safe. Read on. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Who built this? We built this!

And when I'm Mayor, we'll build even more.

“When artificial intelligence is used to diagnose cancer or automate soul-crushing tasks that require vapid toiling, it makes us more human and should be celebrated. But when it sucks out the core process of advanced cognition, cutting-edge tools can become an existential peril.“

Appreciated this.

The Trump Crackdown on Elected Officials The arrest of Brad Lander in New York was the latest incident in a pattern of increasingly aggressive actions that the Administration has taken against Democrats.

With a shocking and unprecedented level of aggressiveness, the Administration has been targeting Democratic officials on trumped up—and often transparently baseless—charges that they’re interfering with Trump’s immigration crackdown. My latest: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Opinion | Brad Lander Doesn’t Belong in Jail. Does He Belong in City Hall?

Answer: YES. Nice piece by Ezra Klein on Lander’s many accomplishments.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

You know it's pretty bad when a state has to bring state murder charges against someone and not federal, so that the President doesn't have a chance to ever pardon him😏

Claiming he "assaulted law enforcement" is so obviously belied by the video, which shows no such thing.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
