Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

He's already running a half hour late, he's primed to pop.

FULL PRESSER | Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand discusses difficulties in auditing ESA program Rob Sand claims the delay in information on the Education Savings Account program may have prevented his office from performing an audit to its fullest ability.

ICYMI: I'm fighting for transparency on how state government is giving away over $300M of your tax dollars to an unaccountable voucher program. And I'm not backing down.

The idea that Trump knows anything more about this than someone gave him money is so laughable the Times should be ashamed. But they have no shame.

Chicago Clergy Win Court Order Against ICE. Will ICE Comply? A day before Ash Wednesday, clergy say they still haven’t heard from ICE about providing pastoral care to Broadview detainees.

Last week, a federal judge ruled that clergy must be allowed in ICE facility in Illinois to minister to immigrants on Ash Wednesday. That's today, but it's not clear yet that ICE will follow the order. The "law & order" & "religious liberty" rhetoric from admin being tested.

The space was so cramped that sometimes there was no space to sit on the floor. (Id.)

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Can’t believe we are still doing this

There should be a law about lying while under oath or something.

Why is ICE seizing people’s phones and documents? • Minnesota Reformer After the federal agents took the shackles off Gust Johnson’s ankles to release him from detainment, he asked for his phone back. That would be staying at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, th...

A 76-year-old veteran and nurse was tackled and detained at the site of Alex Pretti's killing. Agents told him his phone was evidence in an investigation into him assaulting an officer.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

There is no world in which such agreement is legal. Pretty much anyone in the IRS who was involved with it when they first did it either resigned, or was fired for refusing to cooperate.

Not sure if this is the case but holy shit was it the case with Jan 6 when EVERYONE agreed it was one of the worst things Ever and then Dems… let millions of people just lose interest in a matter of weeks

Thune’s plan has been obvious - drag this out as long as possible to put distance between the Pretti/Good murders and the final vote on DHS funding, hoping that the American public moves on. Senate Dems will never have more leverage for ICE reforms than they do right now.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

A hypothetical posed at the Show Cause Hearing demonstrates the dystopian absurdity that could stem from the Government’s incorrect, unfounded interpretation of the law. By the Government’s own admission, its position is that if an ICE officer made a mistake and, pursuant to § 1225, detained somebody who was legally in the United States, that detainee would not be entitled to a bond hearing. Instead, that detainee—who is confined to a jail cell and may not have a mastery of the English language—could only have their case heard by a neutral judicial officer if they were somehow able to file a habeas petition with a Court of Appeals or the District Court of D.C. This concession should concern everyone. A threat to anyone’s constitutional rights is a threat to us all. Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s interpretation of the law, American citizens could be subject to the same treatment. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution.

"[I]mmediate release is appropriate for two reasons. First, this Court has no faith that the Government would comply with an order to hold a bond hearing. ... Second, a bond hearing would be futile."

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
