Maddow: I think we both have the same instinct: quote the ruling, quote the deposition—show the document. The audience is smart and capable of taking in primary source material. We can give it to them straight and then talk about it from there—based on this kind of non-pasteurized document

Abrego Garcia could ask for a bail hearing to cross examine the government on this pretty basic discrepancy. Suggests a real rush to charge in order to have a political face-saving way to bring him back. Of course, legally his due process rights were already violated, per the Supreme Court.

DHS is breaking the law by blocking me and Reps. Rivas, Torres, and Correa from conducting oversight. That’s not a misunderstanding—it’s a violation of federal law. I’m demanding #SecNoem launch an immediate investigation. If her agency won’t follow the law, she needs to answer for it.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Trump says he’s going after criminals but ICE is targeting parents at graduations, and workers just doing their check-ins. What they didn’t count on was our community showing up. Right after landing from DC, I went to help deescalate tensions. We won't stand by while our communities are targeted.
