After Abrego Garcia was deported, the administration initially scrambled to try to figure out how to bring him home, admitting that his alleged gang ties were tenuous, at best. Then the negative coverage started and they decided the fight would be a political win. Disgusting.

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

Quite apart from the abuses, misrepresentations and violations associated with the arrest of Judge Dugan, what should freeze your blood in your veins is the eager, systematic promotion of the action by senior administration officials. More police state tactics--their message: Trump is the law.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

There is no question that the the government agency we need the least, that has done the most damage, achieved nothing and topped all other agencies in terms of waste, fraud and abuse is...DOGE.

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.

This is wild: Trump is offering visits to the White House to people who invest in his bullshit crypto scheme. It is pay-for-influence in the most naked possible way. Just because the corruption is out in the open and unhidden doesn't mean it's not corruption.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

The immigration courts have been distributing these FALSE fliers around the country. They claim self-deportation is “safe” but anyone who left during the removal process would automatically be subject to legal bars on reentry and could end up in a worse spot than going through the court process.
