The Constitution has failed because it no longer limits power — it legitimizes it. The laws written to stop tyranny now protect and enable it.

Want to learn more about trans Texans? We surveyed 90 of them to learn how they're dealing with an increasingly-hostile political climate. Almost everyone said they're feeling more anxious and less safe in public. @dallasnews.com www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...
We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move
Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

One thing people seem to forget is that these Judges live in the community, the court house is in the community. If the community was a crime riddled hellscape, they would see it first hand. This Judge is in Chicago, the Trump appointed Judge in Portland was in Portland. They can see through the 💩

Sounds like Judge Perry didn't come to play

Perry received a Bachelor of Science, magna cum laude, in 2000 from Northwestern University and a Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, in 2003 from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.

Perry: "I guess my question for you is, if that's the way of the world now, if that's the way people seem to be responding to the general state of affairs, is there any limit on 12406?"

Hamilton says yes, the statute "sets the times in which it applies."

Perry: "I agree with you about the seriousness of threats, generally, across the United States right now. I don't think there's a single public servant, really, who is not being subject to threats.

"Mine started about 10 minutes after I got this case."

Perry:"What troubles me about that reading of the statute is, if the executive branch chose to deploy one ICE agent to the Chicagoland area, and then that person was unable to solve all crime," then that could trigger the National Guard.

Hamilton says that's a "very different situation."

Perry: "You seem to believe that 12406(3) would be triggered any time that a singular agency would be asked for help from a brother or sister agency."

Hamilton: "I don't think we're asking the court to go that far."

Perry quotes from a filing that says, on 9/29, the AG "directed ATF, Marshals, DEA and FBI to direct all necessary officers and agents to defend ICE facilities and personnel."

Perry notes "we haven't talked about the words 'regular forces,'" which appear in the law. She pushes for a definition.

Hamilton: "I think it's a reference to the status quo."

Hamilton pushes back and says "this is no Carrie Underwood song." He cites more serious incidents, including the claim of an IED.

Perry: "What was in that?"

Hamilton: "I don't know."

Perry cites the claims of "slashed tires" and "keyed cars."

Perry asks again whether, if the inability to execute the law is b/c of the feds' "own provocation, does that matter under the law?"

Hamilton: "No, if that were true, the fact still remains that we are seeing sustained violence against federal personnel and property in Illinois."

Perry asks directly whether the feds started the alleged violence in Chicago.

She asks whether it matters if the inability to execute the law was "caused by the federal agents."

Hamilton: "No, your honor."

Perry is asking whether the law could be triggered by Illinois' sanctuary status.

Hamilton: "Well, so, it's a hypothetical. It's very different from the situation here."

Perry: "It's not. It's not a hypothetical."

She notes AG Pam Bondi has suggested just that.
