“Judge orders immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from immigration detention.”

With the threat of being sent to Liberia, the Liberian government promises not to persecute or torture him.

That’s big of them.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Bernie Sanders: It's not good enough just to extend the ACA credits. We have got to join every major country in the world, guarantee healthcare to all people, and pass a Medicare for All, single payer program.

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

Chief US District Judge James Boasberg set testimony for Monday and Tuesday of next week to determine whether to refer DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for criminal contempt.

Criminal contempt can mean fines, jail time, and a permanent record. Courts do not bluff.

SHARE NOW: Texas just got a whole lot louder. Jasmine Crockett is running for the United States Senate and Republicans should be terrified. She’s smart, fearless, relentless, and she doesn’t back down from anybody. This is the matchup Texas deserves. Let’s go.

Before there was Union Station, there was La Grande Station, LA's main railway hub from 1893 to 1939. Located at 2nd and Santa Fe on the LA River, it was smaller but equally ornate, with a mashup of Spanish Colonial, Art Deco, Moorish and Mission Revival styles.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.
