When asked about Hughes-Brown, Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, defended her agency’s handling of the case.
A conviction for passing bad checks does “not make for an upstanding lawful permanent resident,” McLaughlin said in an email.

“For those swept up in the expanding deportation drive, it is also increasingly difficult to win release, resulting in lengthy detentions such as the one Hughes-Brown experienced.“

“Her story underscores just how far the Trump administration is willing to go in its quest to boost deportations,
extending its dragnet to people who are legally present in the country with minor offenses from years earlier.”

She bounced a $25 check in 2014. ICE tried to deport her.
A Missouri grandma and lawful resident spent months in detention for a decade-old misdemeanor, underscoring the massive scope of the administration’s deportation efforts.
“Her crime? Writing 2 bad checks, for a combined total of less than $75, more than a decade earlier.
Brown, a lawful permanent resident since she was a child, would go on to spend 143 days in detention.
She was only released at the end of last year after an immigration judge granted an application

CALL TO ACTIVISM (@calltoactivism)
Happy Valentines Day to everyone else!
I’m so old that I remember Eisenhower. I can’t recall another era where we had back to back presidents who were both so loved & both so hated by two totally different & so totally divided groups of citizens. A serious LOVE HATE situation.
What you love & what you hate tells the world what you are.

I see Tom Barrack is back in the news again as another close friend and secret sharer of Jeffrey Epstein. Barrack is the person who introduced Manafort to Trump, another name in Trump's rogue's gallery.

Great thread and articles. Thank you for your clear writing and analysis. Many of us who were focused on Project 2025 missed the looming tech bro monarchy/dark enlightenment (and this is coming from someone who is near SV). The Solana Cty land purchase has bothered me for awhile and now I know why.

Remember in 2023 when Musk was "play[ing] president" and turned off Starlink during a Ukrainian offensive against Russia?
Now Musk is "donating" Starlink, and will have the ability to control/shut down government functions?
