‘Outrageous’: Furor grows over ICE’s arrest, deportation of 6-year-old deaf Hayward child The uproar follows allegations that ICE agents mislead the family’s attorney and separated the child from vital equipment he needs to properly hear.

A six-year-old student at the California School for the Deaf-Fremont has been reunited with his communication devices after being deported to Columbia last week.

That’s 3 trips/month ffs!!

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.

He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

Who put this MFer in charge of the world?

The Curtains Close on the Kristi Noem Show As Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem was obsessed with cameras, and her downfall began when ICE abuses, including the killing of two American citizens, went viral.

"She will be remembered not only as the most incompetent Secretary in the department’s twenty-three-year history but also as the person who succeeded where many progressive activists had failed in discrediting much of the D.H.S.’s institutional legitimacy."

Personally, I think this is more about trying to save his job in his newly-drawn district than some sort of moral awakening.

If you’re bitching about the Live Nation/Ticketmaster settlement w/DOJ for less than 1% of their profits last year and not mentioning Kellyanne Conway negotiated the settlement w/her friends in Trump administration you’re doing it wrong. This is how corruption works, folks.

I have two words: VOTING RECORD. That's ALL you need to know because he's a DISGRACE to healthcare!

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheahan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

Wild story from @washingtonexaminer.bsky.social:
ICE "wasted millions" to buy "thousands of employee vehicles that the agency cannot use to arrest illegal immigrants"

The problem: the vehicles are marked with ICE logo and motto

“ICE has never had marked vehicles,” person familiar said

A jail death shocked an Alabama town. The sheriff remains in power. The jail death of a man who suffered from mental illness drew criminal charges against Alabama guards. The sheriff says he’s done nothing wrong.

My colleague @willcarless.bsky.social traveled to Alabama and I dug through hundreds of pages of records to get to the bottom of how Tony Mitchell froze to death after two weeks in the Walker County jail. The sheriff remains in power and is running for re-election. buff.ly/f63cjTt
