Judicial warrant (L) signed by a judge = based on probable cause, supported by evidence weighed by a judge. Cooperation required by law. Administrative warrant (R), signed by ICE/CBP = unsupported;"reasonable suspicion" standard of proof. Have the LEO slide the warrant under the door.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

All of the Venezuelans taken to Guatanamo were sent to Venezuela, via Honduras. Before immigration counsel were even able to get an answer about access.

Good idea. Inaccurate on the law, but the administration doesn't think law is relevant, so...

It's only February. But I feel confident calling "mounting concerns" as the biggest understatement of 2025.

We know who the villains are in this coup. But so many heroes are showing up to oppose them, and many of them are federal employees, including judges. I give you supreme boss-hero champion Judge Ana Reyes, telling Team Trump they don't know shit and schooling them in the facts about gender and sex.

There is no bottom to the morally repugnant xenophobic men in power, weaponizing children to bully and harass. Weaponizing laws designed to protect the marginalized, using them to marginalize. Weaponizing laws intended to ameliorate discrimination to discriminate. I am disgusted.

Free legal advice: do not give this man your bank account number, address, SSN, the make/model of your first car, or your maternal grandmother's maiden name.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Yes; you do. And also, please don't forsake us. 60% of the people here are sane, kind, competent, funny, loving, compassionate, talented. They seem to want to trap us as their servant class. Please keep a way out open for us. 🙏🙏🙏

It's not this easy. Once Congress appropriates $ to the agencies, they decide the contracts unless there is a prohibition in place against a vendor or practice. Also, with TMobile and others using Starlink, he's fine. He can never use up the $ he's amassed. Congress should still do it.
