ABC News is reporting that "Schrader's resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons."
When I reached him today by text, Schrader responded simply: "Thanks Phil - I have no comment."

someone who would know recently told me that every halfway-decent person still serving as a US attorney in the United States is just waiting for the thing that they will be asked to do which will cross their personal line before they quit.

This indictment sure does allege a lot of things! But N.B. that the only concrete, granular, detailed allegations here happen to be from the one time in 2022 that he was encountered in a traffic stop--and they are by far the weakest

"alien smuggling" is an aggravated felony for immigration purposes. If convicted, he would be permanently barred from receiving asylum, arguably barred from withholding of removal (the status he had before his wrongful removal), and permanently barred from citizenship

We'll wait to see the rest of the evidence I guess, but clearly DOJ was directed to pull together whatever they possibly could to associate this man with something which no one had ever seriously accused him of while he was still in the country, or at least not in any way that was a priority

I don't know if I have ever felt more conflicted about the outcome of a major immigration news story. Because he is being paroled back in he won't be eligible for release on bond by an IJ, and ICE will never voluntarily release him. And these charges will take a long time to try.

I KNEW Ro Khanna would be sniffing after Elon. Elon's side of Trump's bed hasn't even gotten cold yet, and here is Ro Khanna being the most Ro Khanna he can be. He is the literal worst.

If that's the face-saving way to bring him back and give him due process, so be it. Criminal charges will have a higher burden of proof than what the government would need to show in immigration court, so if they have the evidence, let them bring it and a jury can decide.
