Illinois follows the law — we expect the federal government to follow the law, too. We won't participate in abuses of power. We won't violate court orders. We won't ignore the Constitution. We won't defy the Supreme Court. We won't take away people’s right to peacefully protest.

What happened here is an example of the Trump administration “de-documenting” people. His workers all had work permits; it seems they were Nicaraguans who entered through CHNV parole. But the Trump admin stripped them of their status then rounded them up, making even his supporter mad.

Israel is a state that deliberately starves whole populations, then uses the promise of food to lure people to locations where they can be killed. What does it mean to say that such a state “has a right to exist”? www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

A pretty shocking clip from today. An LAPD officer on horseback tramples a protester who then falls in front of another horse. As others try to help the protester up, an LAPD officer wields a blunt weapon to strike the protester, but strikes a nearby horse in the head.

Absent the invocation of Insurrection Act, I don't see how this doesn't violate Posse Comitatus. Detaining people pending the arrival of civilian law enforcement is supporting civilian law enfcmt. Neither s12406 nor POTUS' claimed Art II power extends beyond protecting fed property/functions.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

The law bars active-duty mil from participating in partisan fundraising or rallies. One of many regs aimed at making it hard for a POTUS to do what the framers feared: co-opt a standing army to entrench non-democratic power. Wrote about this in Trump 1.0 here. JAGs, COs, Congress - uphold the law.
