C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

I would ask people to call or message their senators about this and specifically that Vinay Prasad needs to be out at FDA. Even the Wall Street Journal has said as much. There is push back. Companies won’t fund clinical trials if they can’t trust the FDA.
If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.
This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

Thread from the front lines in Minneapolis by a lawyer working to represent people snatched by DHS/CBP and the horrific realities thatTrump/Bondi/Miller are inflicting on our neighbors, families, and friends. Ideas on how to help at the end.
A month ago, I knew almost zero about immigration law. I hadn’t dealt with it since clerking >10 years ago. I had no interest in immigration law.
I knew even before law school I didn’t want to go into criminal law. I didn’t want power or responsibility over someone’s freedom or their life.

A Trump loyalist, John Sarcone, was appointed on an interim basis. His tenure expired & a judge found other efforts to install him unlawful. The judges are by statute allowed to appoint a US attorney if there’s a vacancy like this. So they did. Now that guy has been fired.

The real profit will come with the private prison companies and contractors hired to refurbish and staff these facilities.
