This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant). She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

Trump’s halting of data collection could have effects that last far beyond his time in office. Even if a future administration seeks to resurrect some of the curtailed efforts, the 2025-29 hiatus will make trends harder to identify and understand.

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador" Astonishing. Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

Arguments in this case today went horribly for the school board. The six Republican-appointed justices sound eager to craft a maximalist decision that effectively gives religious parents a sweeping new constitutional right to veto LGBTQ materials (and much more) in public school curricula.

The biggest reason that EVERY argument about how it was "legal" to deport him is wrong is he wasn't deported. He was renditioned. He was sent to prison in El Salvador. Immigration courts do not have the power to imprison people.

People really do not understand the depravity or scope/endpoint of an accelerationist Nazi movement having the full reins of power and the largest surveillance and repression system ever created. Disappearing dissidents into an offshore series of concentration camps is a beginning not an ending.

This, from Liz Hoffman, is a good example of the pattern I've described. Faced with inexplicable actions, Trump toadies try to retcon increasingly absurd theories of what Trump's doing. It gets traction and then builds momentum. Trump hears it & starts repeating it as his theory of what he's doing.

The justices were unanimous that the Trump administration can't designate people as enemies and hustle them off in the dead of night without access to the courts. The majority says the government must provide people enough notice that they can "actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue."

The reason the IRS has no data-leaking API is not because they don't know how to schedule a "hackathon." Instead it's because the API: 1. Likely violates the Privacy Act of 1974 2. Is not within the IRS's mandate 3. Would be a huge target for attacks against the privacy of all Americans
