In the spirit of this great oped, journalists (inc. Goldberg) must recognize that one of Trump’s patterns is: 1. Do something wildly illegal 2. Identify the name of a law 3. Proceed to ignore every limit in that law The pattern is tricking papers into writing “Trump is invoking a rarely used law.”

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

Our Founding Fathers would have had a word for calling up a battalion of Marines for regular domestic law enforcement: tyranny.

Yes! The Trump administration is literally taking HSI agents off of investigating real crimes and having them go raid random Home Depots.

Impeachment articles on this alone should be submitted overnight. California should refuse cooperating with the federal government on anything. The legislature should pass a broad anti-commandeering law. And every governor worth their salt should fly to California and pledge mutual assistance.

Surely someone else must have already made the joke about how Trump has upgraded from a mere basket of deplorables to now having a whole Cabinet full of them?

In the middle of trying to negotiate a very large infrastructure construction contract, and let me tell you this is a very difficult environment to make business deals. Will the costs of materials double tomorrow? Will our regulators cease to function? Will the entire industry become illegal?

“This isn't law and order. This isn't making our country safer or fixing our border. And it isn't leadership.”

First they unlawfully detain our neighbors. Then they send ICE to deport & rip apart families. Now they're using the National Guard to crack down on peaceful protesters. This is authoritarianism.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

New in PN: A felon in the White House is making crime legal "The most vulnerable among us are currently Trump’s primary victims. But the entire nation will soon pay a heavy price for his systematic assault on the rule of law in service of his endless desire for corrupt wealth & self-aggrandizement"

How much of the situation in LA is because Stephen Miller is mad that his wife chose Musk over him?

After months of ignoring our Constitution, it seems the Trump Administration has relented to our demands for compliance with court orders and due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This has never been about the man — it’s about his constitutional rights and the rights of all. Full statement:

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.
