Former immigration judge Sarah Ellison Hernandez details the moment she saw the administration defy a court order and knew she had to resign. This isn't just about immigration policy. It's about intentional defiance of the law, and the people who step up to stop it.

Sarah Ellison Hernandez Sounds the Alarm
There aren't any metaphysical guardrails that are going to protect America. The guardrails are us, so it is dependent upon us to say, "No. This is not okay."

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.
This company charges disabled vets millions, even after VA said it's likely illegal

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
