A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of a man who had been in immigration detention due to "objectively unreasonable failures of care that more likely than not resulted in permanent disability, including the loss of his toe and part of his foot."
A. Petitioner's Physical Deterioration at NWIPC 8 Petitioner alleges, and Respondents do not dispute, that he was in good health when he 9 entered ICE detention. See Dkt. No. I-9 (DHS Form I-213) at 2 ("The subject claims good 10 health"). Eighth months later, hospital records show that Petitioner's health has declined to 11 include two partial foot amputations, a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory 12 bowel disease ("IBD")),? acute blood loss anemia, a kidney injury, a severe vitamin D deficiency 13 and dramatic unintended weight loss. Dkt. No. 16 at 3. While Respondents largely do not address the conditions of Petitioner's confinement in responding to this claim, they argue elsewhere that "the medical care [Petitioner] has received is constitutionally adequate." Dkt. No. 22 at 15. But the record here compels a finding that, on the preponderance of the evidence, Petitioner's medical care, and denial of medical care, included objectively unreasonable failures of care that more likely than not resulted in permanent disability, including the loss of his toe and part of his foot. The Court bases this finding on the following facts: Respondents have made no showing that the extreme restrictions on Petitioner's liberty and health created by his custodians' decisions, ineptitude, and denial of care are not excessive in relation to its asserted purpose of "protecting the public and enforcing U.S. immigration laws." There is no indication that these interests could not have been just as easily served without ignoring his cries of pain for hours, or without declining to see him as his bone was eaten away by infection. There is no indication that these interests could not have been served while bringing Petitioner to the hospital for imaging when a GI appointment could not be scheduled quickly (or contracting with additional external providers), while filling his prescriptions, or while treating him with appropriate medication based on his actual diagnosis. And finally, there is no indication that these interests cannot be served by subjecting Petitioner to alternatives to detention under appropriate conditions of release while he pursues outside treatment— an argument raised in the habeas petition but completely ignored by Respondents. Dkt. No. 1 9 61. In sum, the length of Petitioner's detention does not support a finding that it is excessive in relation to its purpose, but the conditions of his detention do. Under the unique facts of this case, the extreme consequences of Respondents' unreasonable treatment of Petitioner constitute deprivations so excessive that the conditions of detention alone take Respondents' detention of Petitioner out of the realm of constitutional civil detention and render it punitive.

"Official ICE policy says 'ICE should not detain, arrest, or take into custody for an administrative violation of the immigration laws individuals known to be pregnant, postpartum, or nursing” except in exceptional circumstances.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

FYI, Frederick Douglass predicted Trump back in 1867.

"there is a good reason why we should do away with the pardoning power in the hands of the President, that is that our government may at some time be in the hands of a bad man."

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

i often think about this review
Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

About 200 officers from a range of federal, state, and local agencies descended on an Idaho racetrack.

The officers rounded up 400 people, forcing just about everyone onto the track, where, according to the suit, they sorted people by perceived immigration status, typically based on skin color.
ACLU's lawsuit over ICE raid at an Idaho racetrack could be a game changer
The filing aims to hold rogue federal agents accountable by linking them to a conspiracy.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
