@hcrichardson.bsky.social I feel like this should be a bigger story. This is how the state takes over the will of the people. The logical conclusion of the majority under the rule of a minority.

The ramifications and power of this moment and these images cannot be overstated. We must use this momentum to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

False. American federalism divides power between the national and state governments. It’s the basis of our system of government. Remarkable how states rights has suddenly vanished…
