Man, with the background like that I hope he ends the speech with giant red lasers pointed at his eyes to make a "dark Trump" meme in real life.

INTRODUCTION Defendants filed two motions to dismiss some of Leo's claims. This brief deals with the Partial Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's APA claims (ECF 57). Because Defendants scantly mention the merits, this brief mostly focuses on Leo's ability to seek relief from three Department of Homeland Security policies that allow immigration officers to raid Leo's worksites without a warrant, detain him without particularized suspicion, and continue to hold him after he dispelled any doubt about his lawful presence. This Court should deny the motion to ensure that innocent U.S. citizens like Leo can work in the construction industry without fear that the federal government will treat them like criminals.

III. Leo Has Adequately Stated His Claims for Relief The four counts relevant to this motion all state plausible claims. Count I claims that the three policies violate the Fourth Amendment and should be enjoined. Count Il 22 Case 1:25-cv-00397-JB-N Doc#61 Filed 02/18/26 Page 33 of 42 PagelD# 716 claims that, because the policies are unconstitutional, they should be set aside under Section 706(2)(B) of the APA. Count III claims that the policies exceed DHS's statutory authorization. See 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(C). And Count IV claims that the policies violate DHS's regulations. See id. § 706(2)(A), (D). Defendants don't question the merits of Leo's claims. Their only merits arguments are that (1) Leo lacks a reasonable expectation of privacy in his worksites and, again, (2) the policies don't exist. But the second one doesn't get them anywhere. A Rule 12(b) (6) motion is not the time to dispute Leo's factual allegations (though, that doesn't stop them from trying). See MTD 12-13. Leo will explain in Section III.A.1 why he can challenge the Warrantless Entry Policy, and then quickly go through his remaining, unchallenged claims.

We filed our brief opposing the gov’s motion to dismiss our case against the ICE raids of construction sites in Alabama.

Remarkably, they don’t even argue any of it is legal. They just don’t think anyone should be able to stop them.

Kind of want them to move forward with this so we have a place to put all of the Trump trash once he is out of office.

Take his name from the Kennedy Center, US IoP, all the unsold National Park passes, pile it all up and implode the arch on top of it.

Let that be the man's memorial.

Healing the country is demanding accountability for those who have wronged it.

If you won’t divest ill-gotten gains from this admin’s tenure, seek criminal liability for unconstitutional acts, and abolish qualified immunity, you don’t want to heal anything, only paper over a festering wound.

CBP already does this with vehicles seized in inland checkpoints.

They will take a vehicle (and all cell phones) from someone they suspect has been "smuggling aliens," and then drop them off at random times, random places, and often with no money or support to get home.

Nice follow up to a C-suite exec unmasking themselves as a person who was gleefully working towards eliminating overhead at the expense of the community his company is built upon.

West Virginia Senate passes human smuggling bill, sends it back to the House CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Senate amended and passed a House of Delegates bill strengthening human trafficking penalties and adding a new provision aimed at those helping smuggle undocumented immi...

West Virginia saw that CBP gets to keep many cars of people who drive undocumented people to work and said, "How can I get in on that?"

The COO of AEG beclowning himself on LinkedIn about relying on AI for new board games.

Just like that jabberwocky trying to make an AI movie, the COO of @alderaceg.bsky.social is the kind of asshole to try and crowdsource their next game and feed it into an AI, hoping for magic.

It’s sad, because I would describe myself as a loyal AEG customer for the last 20 years.

The smell of skunk isn't as bad when you smell it as you leave your house and know that your dog wasn't involved.

XCOM, but modern pirates.

Posting from the couch you slept on last night, eh?

Articles like this vex me.

500,000 are reported missing each year. But there are only 100,000 missing people at any time, so the great majority are found.

If only 18k people are murdered each year in the US, there is not some vast kindnap-to-murder pipeline like these stories intimate.

This is an actual thing that happens (though if you are playing a six hour Wingspan game, no one is getting the rules right)!

And it’s a great reminder: it’s ok to put the game away if you aren’t having fun.

Ho

ho

ho.

I concede this point, but I believe that more systems that people will want to play will show that other systems aren't too scary and raise tolerance for different games.

It's akin to what craft beer did to American drinkers.

That's a lot of energy for a silly post poking fun at some zealots.

I'm confused, are they saying Jesus wants us to be bad people?

It briefly addresses kickstarters, but doesn't mention Brotherwise Games or Darrington Press?

Granted, their systems just came out, but I think the popularity of Critical Role (which is partly why D&D is so large) and Brandon Sanderson will eat away at Wizards' margins in the years to come.

Civ VI Steam Power tech. It unlocks the Ironclad melee water unit, the canal district, the Panama Canal wonder, and railroads.

Good news and bad news on that...

On the plus side, we can start building more trains. Its infrastructure week again!

But on the minus side it might foreshadow our pursuit of control over the Panama Canal.

Recent BMW commercial uses the instrumentals from Flagpole Sitta. Not a song I would want associated with my brand…

A few years ago Cadillac used a DJ Shadow/ Run the Jewels instrumental whose song has the line, “quicker than Trump fucks his youngest.”

Song sounds great, but is that the brand?

The Grand jury is not who failed here

Aside from the sexy, tight layout and art, I, being a rare middle age father with little interest in either Rome or WWII, had no idea what the Night Witches were.

Mighty cool stuff, and a great game topic.

I wonder what happened to make it drop so sharply...

Oh, wait, I don't have to wonder.

I'm also seeing a lot of very Bluesky reactions to this, like "I wish she could have done this without invoking religion" or "she needs to understand that one can be religious without being Christian". Uh, she's not speaking to you. She's speaking to him and using the language he understands.

Post from Reddit titled: "Kid" Rock ain't looking so young It is a screen from X from Covie_93 Saying "They were born the same year btw..." with a side by side of Kid Rock and Ricky Martin.

This is hilarious to me, because someone I was watching the super bowl with was like "OMG THAT'S RICKY MARTIN! He has had some fantastic work done!" And then went searching for records of his skin care routine.

Someone should have taken dude’s phone before he posted such nonsense, though.

In a world where Rick O’Connell and Evelyn are bad guys, who can you trust?

Keep in mind that this statistic does not include the dogs owned by police themselves that have been killed by negligence or malice.

I would love to have stats on working dog deaths. I would like to confirm that the biggest danger to them is being left in a hot car.

My ugly mug at Pies and Pints in Morgantown.

Just went to my first @ij.org court hearing and now getting some amazing pizza.

Good times.

again, the problem is not "masks enable bad behavior." the problem is, police aren't "public servants" and aren't accountable to the public and, therefore, don't have to do anything communities demand. it's up to us to drain police of their political power (and their $ and their personnel).
