The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

How Trump will fill his immigrant gulags DHS is rewriting its detention rules to ignore the law—and entrap millions.

The contours of a dual state are coming into view, one in which anyone targeted by Trump’s deportation and detention program has no rights that can save them.

Read @pemalevy.bsky.social on how DHS is rewriting its detention rules to ignore the law—and entrap millions.
