UPDATE: Bondi released what she touted as new evidence against Mr. Abrego Garcia. It's not new. It's the gang worksheet from the disgraced cop in 2019. But it does explain this ridiculous claim by Tricia McLaughlin. She... thought a picture on a hoodie was the same thing as rolls of actual cash.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

Also you need to be part of creating an environment and culture in which thumbing your nose at court orders is widely unacceptable, frowned upon, and is grounds for punishment. Don't let the scofflaws get away with it or control the narrative.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
