How the Trump administration skirts — and defies — court rulings on ICE detentions A POLITICO review of hundreds of cases brought by ICE detainees shows a pattern of noncompliance that has frustrated judges across the country.

NEW: Federal judges are increasingly furious at what they see as a pattern / playbook of defiance by the Trump administration to court orders in immigration cases — in Minnesota and around the country.

Here’s a look at what they’re seeing: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Congrats!

Not happy about the streaks feature. Can I turn it off? I didn't need another streak to keep alive.

I miss opening my rss reader every morning like my email and reading blogs. I felt like it was Twitter that killed it.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Terrorizing American citizens.
Threatening American allies.
Covering up for American sex criminals.

Welcome to the Trump administration, 2026!

I bought the paper workbook and manuals for Step 2 and Steps 1 mix (which I'm working through now). I think paper is better for learning, but I thought the s/w was useful as well, especially the games. The s/w lessons are also aimed at the student while the paper manual is aimed at the teacher.

Are you saying his hurt feelings don't constitute a national emergency?

The only hint in the article that just maybe he doesn't have the authority to do this comes with "a move that unions have challenged in federal court" in the 9th paragraph. It's all just horse race reporting.

24 hours outside ICE: What is really going on in Portland Starting Thursday, Oct. 9 at midnight, we will begin a 24-hour livestream outside of the Portland ICE Facility. Our aim is to show the public everything we see.

The local abc affiliate, KATU, put a camera out for 24 hours. Maybe NYT could have watched that if they weren't willing to actually send a reporter?

Glad I'm not alone. My wife and I were watching it. I struggled to get through two episodes before tapping out. "If this ends with his car ruining the shot, I'm done...."

Rubicon.

Why are there no stories? In the US, it's only on daily beast so far. It's obviously not true and Johson is throwing this in to keep the q crazies on board, but the speaker of the house saying the president of the united states was an fbi informant is a story. They can explain the background.

Get RFK Jr, we need a mitochondrial assessment, stat!

Good Lord.

A street joke turned into a shaggy dog story as told by Tolstoy. Norm was the best.

That's a hell of an act. What do you call it? Populism!

Loved that movie. "It's not the voltage, it's the amps that kill you." "How many amps?" "Enough to push a train!"
