“There is no basis to say that anything other than the most stringent First Amendment protections apply to medical journals,” she said. “It appears aimed at creating a type of fear and chill that will have effects on people’s expression — that’s a constitutional concern.”

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

It's funny because obviously this isn't true but what's actually happening now is that a lot of intelligence staff are spending all their time rooting out "DEI" content and training materials instead of anything productive. Classic up is down stuff from this admin

By the way this isn't an obscure act; it was the one used to justify the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, the one never overturned by the Supreme Court or US District Court, even when Fred Korematsu's case was appealed in the 1980s.

Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is not a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant). She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

Part of why “anti-government extremism” maybe wasn’t a good term was that the right wasn’t actually paranoid over Big Gov violating rights but was animated by a desire to consolidate the violent power of the state to be used by a specific group of people to target other specific groups of people

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

This is how it's going to go. You have funding. You don't have funding. You have funding. You don't have funding unless you ____. You don't have funding. You have funding. You don't have funding. The chaos and uncertainty aren't incompetence but design, because abusers keep people's lives unstable.

I know we’re all keeping track of lines crossed, and there’s more than any one person can track, but this one—I honestly don’t know what to say (other than we knew Homan was going to push all officers of the law into doing the work of mass deportation, and now that includes… arresting judges)

Even if this is true, the damage done to US universities is potentially irreparable. International students know that their degree/career could be upended in an instant, either because of political speech or a traffic ticket. They could even be sent to the camps!
