Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics.

This immigrant describes being

-held incommunicado
& ICE never telling him a court ordered his release
He describes an American gulag

In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.

He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

As a lawyer, you have a duty to uphold the rule of law. Sometimes resigning is the only ethical choice.
If my math is right 20% of the office has now resigned, including the previous group of resignations. That’s debilitating.
