Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Koh: So we're playing politics with funding that's supposed to currently be going to Alzheimer's victims, stroke victims, diabetes victims. And that advancement can't wait for politics.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Cinco de Mayo parades in Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Jose have been canceled due to organizers' concerns about ICE raids and anti-immigrant sentiment, as community members fear attending.

BREAKING NEWS!

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

“Children will go hungry. And they don’t have to." Meals-to-You sends boxes with five days’ worth of meals directly to low-income households during the summer, when kids didn’t have access to free lunch. Then DOGE swept in, and everything came to a halt.

AOC at the Fight Oligarchy Tour in Folsom, CA: “You know how many people are here in Folsom today? 26,000 of you have gathered.”

DOGE surveilling (with a drone?!) and threatening a whistleblower. These people are straight up gangsters.

BACHIR ATALLAH thought “THINGS WOULD BE BETTER UNDER TRUMP. Things actually CHANGED FOR THE WORSE” “They handcuffed me, they twisted my arm, my wrist," said Bachir Atallah, a New Hampshire real estate attorney who has been a🇺🇸citizen for 10 years. 😡 #TrumpIsAFacist www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) endorses Trump for third term.

My “spidey-sense” is saying we should keep our eyes on this. www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

Thank you Governor Kotek

Rachel just interviewed😳 the whistleblower. Nothing is safe anymore. 🚨

"Maybe overdue accountability is finally starting."

@scotus-blog.bsky.social guess we don’t need scotus anymore if your rulings get ignored and the rule of law is gone. 🚨

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadorian prison no matter what they have done. Plain and simple.

Short hearing, and Xinis was all business. She dismissed. The DOJ objections is already dealt with and said it’s time to move to discovery, which will be very very rapid. DOJ proffered the oval office meeting yesterday; she wants evidence gathered under the evidence rules.

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled in a massive fundraising haul amid progressive calls for her to launch a 2028 primary challenge against Sen. Chuck Schumer

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

President Obama SLAMS the trump admin's "unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom" starting with Harvard, but leading elsewhere unless Harvard takes a stand, and others follow suit. Thank you, President Obama.

MAGA idiots have been tricked into surrounding Tesla dealerships nationwide, their presence alone is deterring potential buyers and collapsing sales. Psyop successful 👏

Chuck Grassley is head of the Senate Judiciary Committee and is touting Trump's talking point about El Salvador not being subject to our laws. The longer we wait to protest en masse because we think it can't happen here, the more at risk we are at never getting our country back.

😮 HIDING ICE FLIGHTS: ICE charter flights by GlobalX have been removed from many flight trackers, and given the call sign TYSON --previously associated w/ Secret Service and a B52 bomber squadron. Tracked by tail number, here is TYSON41 which departed Texas en route to a destination South America:

This is not news. MSM knew he was snake before you let him in. 🙄

President Trump wants European countries to start buying U.S. chicken and eggs. But the U.K. and E.U. think American poultry is gross and chemically washed. Turns out, chlorine isn't really the issue.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

HHS Systems Are in Danger of Collapsing, Workers Say The purging of IT and cybersecurity staff at the Department of Health and Human Services could threaten the systems used by the agency’s staff and the safety of critical health data.

I’ve said this so many times but worth saying again. Great leaders create value, not destroy it. Trump is destroying the American economy, devaluing the dollar and crippling companies. This leads to lay-offs. The domino effect will be real and devastating. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/...

This is going to KILL the US!

Some major public institutions in Canada, including a pension management firm and a leading hospital, are advising staff against traveling to the US.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump supporter supporters Cuomo. Example 1338383737

⚡️ Ukraine has liberated Dniproenerhiia village in Donetsk Oblast, commander claims. Ukrainian forces have also advanced in two key front-line sectors in the past two months, Serhii Naiev, commander of the Vuhledar tactical group, reported on April 15.

I saw a trite post yesterday talking about how “crowd size doesn’t matter because 30k in Utah doesn’t help change that state” and it’s such an interesting contrast in spirit to this message.

"Take him anyway" confirms to me what many of us have suspected: that there's a quota now, and ICE just needs bodies to meet that quota, like cops prowling to give tickets before their numbers are due.

That’s illegal. FYI. No - Pam Bondi won’t do anything.

YIKES: The College Football Playoff National Championship trophy completely falls apart as JD Vance picks it up. A metaphor for this disastrous administration. (via Philip Wegmann)

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Dozens of witnesses are set to take the stand in the trial, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is scheduled to testify for seven hours. The outcome could reshape the future of Meta.

📣 Our country has turned into a land of monsters. "The Army says that these soldiers won't be arresting people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, and instead, will offer "logistical support" to Border Patrol agents." I don't believe this statement. www.npr.org/2025/04/14/n...
