I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

"According to figures shared with the Cato Institute, as of 6/14 ICE had booked 204,297 individuals into detention since the start of fiscal year 2025. 65% had no criminal record whatsoever. Even among the rest, more than 93% were not convicted of violent offenses." via @migrantinsider.bsky.social

Other, more serious countries - ones that are actually constitutional republics governed by the rule of the law - have actual constitutional courts. We, however, have a 9-member super-legislature of Wizards In Robes with unlimited terms of office & final veto power over the other two legislatures.

Yep yep yep. Today's decision effectively tells the Trump administration that they are not obligated to follow court orders they don't think are right. We are going to see a LOT of contempt proceedings over the next year.

The Court has deemed district court orders irrelevant. They can be repeatedly & explicitly violated by this Administration in ways that will irreparably harm migrants (sent to war-torn S. Sudan or Libya w/o due process) & the SCOTUS conservatives will defer. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

🚨The Florida government is going to tear down Everglades wetlands so they can build a tent camp in the swamp to fuel Trump's mass deportation operations — and they’re going to get money from Trump that Congress intended for humanitarian care to recently arrived-migrants.

They didn't offer an explanation because they don't have one. The majority of the Supreme Court has no guiding jurisprudence but raw partisan preference, and we should stop pretending otherwise. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Narciso Barranco is a father of three Marines and longtime Orange County resident who was punched repeatedly in the head by ICE agents. Mr. Barranco is represented in Congress by Republican Young Kim, who is introducing a resolution this week commending ICE "for keeping our communities safe."

The conditions at an ICE family detention facility in Texas are so bad that adults are literally physically jockeying with children for water. This is the desperation ICE is deliberately and, it must be said, sadistically producing. apnews.com/article/migr...

Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Ward Sakeik is married to an American, has a pending green card application, owns a home in Texas, and has never been to Israel-Palestine. Why did ICE arrest her on her honeymoon and try deporting her to a country she's never seen? My latest for FWST: www.star-telegram.com/opinion/brad...

I have a mechanical engineering degree and when I worked as an engineer, I probably only tapped into 10-15% of book knowledge from my degree. The rest of the time was just tapping into thinking like an engineer for practical problem identification, classification, solving -- a SKILL from my degree.
