ICE can enter anyoneβs home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.
If thereβs no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Andry did the right thing:
- Never committed a crime.
- Fled his home when persecuted for being LGBTQ & refusing to give in to an authoritarian regime.
- Sought asylum through a legal pathway.
- Found us to represent him in court.
So, why did the Trump admin forcibly remove him?
He had tattoos.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

The biggest reason government officials aren't giving any specifics about the criteria by which these arrests and deportations are selected, is that the criteria is "pro-Israel think-tanks and advocacy organizations created lists of troublesome individuals and gave them to us."
Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.
The βjustificationβ is campus activism or social media posts.

I put on RoboCop again and realized that I find it increasingly less funny the older I get because of how accurately it predicted where America was going. What Iβm fixing on tonight is how the corporation that runs the police made a certain executive immune to RoboCopβs enforcement ability.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Many have asked how it could cost $17.5 million to confine just over 100 unhoused people to a warehouse for 90 days.
The answer? The company running the facility got a no-bid contract and has political ties to Louisiana governor Jeff Landryβwho invoked emergency powers to detain these men and women
