Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Chuck Breyer's 36 page opinion is thorough and meticulous, and makes clear that courts shouldn't defer to Executive on whether there is a "rebellion" justifying federalizing the National Guard. Looking forward to discussing on @cnn.com w/ @lauracoates.com at 11:45 PM ET.

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day. My report:

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

ICE wanted the San Francisco Standard to blur the faces of agents who were taking immigrants into custody. The Standard told them "no." "...we believe that censoring images from this news event would set a harmful precedent for the media’s right to report and the public’s right to know."

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
