The thing is that Loomer is a very principled person, and her key principle is that Muslim people have no place in America

Shortly after the announcement, Loomer said she did not think she would vote in next year's mid-term elections. …

She posted a clip of Trump speaking in 2017, when he accused Qatar of historically funding terrorism "at a very high level."

Judge Xinis says the clock is ticking for the government to agree to that.

"While I'm writing, if I don't get a yes, I'm going to take this as a no," she says.

That no would show the Trump admin has been trying to punish Abrego, rather than deport him.

JB Pritzker also talks about his inability to get any top Trump officials on the phone, probably because they *want* this to be experienced as an invasion. He explains why this could make law enforcement officials on both sides *less* safe. Total dereliction. 3/

We have reached this point, in part, because universities’ initial responses to the Trump administration’s attacks have failed. Many university leaders adopted a strategy of appeasement
