Hollman may have lost his bellicose bluster, but he's a liar. MN has always notified ICE when a convicted, undocumented person is released.

He ends saying "we are going to keep doing what we are doing."

NEW: The Trump administration's argument that masks "are for officer safety reasons" is actually an admission.

Tom Homan highlights how secrecy aims to block accountability, the immoral lawlessness at the core of the Trump administration.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

None of this is normal

Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are.
In an internal document, the company wrote that the timing is good because civil society groups are busy with politics and won't cause problems.

A Texas man murdered his own daughter over Trump and Texas didn’t even charge him with a crime.

Seeing as Kash also said Trump was mentioned less than 100 times in the Epstein files and that there was no proof Epstein was trafficking anyone…

I don’t believe this for a second.

Morons. Every single one.

tl;dr: CBP fired a new weapon into domestic airspace that the FAA had previously warned posed grave risk to human life. It did so without warning to FAA and without restricting airspace. FAA restricted airspace in response. White House overruled them. The target turned out to be a party balloon.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Wasatch County GOP chair charged with felony child abuse Wasatch County GOP Chair David Nephi Johnson, accused of waterboarding a 16-year-old relative, has been arrested on charges of felony child abuse.

Wasatch County GOP Chair David Nephi Johnson, accused of waterboarding a 16-year-old relative, has been arrested on charges of felony child abuse.

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

How Radioactive Oil and Gas Waste Could Lie Beneath a North Texas Elementary School A massive Dallas-Fort Worth subdivision and a school have risen atop layers of oil and gas drilling waste. One worker who helped spread the material is speaking out.

“Drilling mud is a witches’ brew of chemicals. Society will have to pay for the cleanup, and the company that made all the money just closes up their doors and they’re on down the road. I have been screaming about this forever.”

Trump Threatens to Block Michigan-Canada Bridge He Once Championed The president’s targeting of the bridge shows just how drastically U.S.-Canada relations have fallen between his two terms.

Trump’s Truth Social post blasting the Gordie Howe bridge echoed misleading claims made by a competing bridge company.

Hours before Trump posted, its billionaire owner met with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, @nytimes.com reported.

Germany, if you’re listening…

Dear Europe,

Hurry up and reveal the Epstein files Trump doesn’t want Americans to see.

Please and thank you,

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

There's a short video clip of Pinker and Epstein on the plane and a girls voice says "where are you taking me" and this is the still from it. So I don't know what he's talking about.

That ram “doorbuster deal” is genuinely hilarious. That 9850 though? 👀

Hi attorneys! Want to not be able to get to sleep tonight? Here's Judge Rakoff (probably the single most well-respected judge in SDNY) saying that the use of AI destroys both attorney-client privilege and work-product privilege.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:
