This is a simply incredible decision from Judge Brasel. Stunning. In that you will be stunned.

She captures perfectly the experience of trying to locate and help clients disappeared by ICE.

And the stories of detainee’s experience while ICE plays hide-and-seek with their lawyers are soul crushing.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Again, there’s a straight line between this appalling nonsense straight back to the failure of Reconstruction & we simply shouldn’t tolerate it anymore. People who do this should be shamed off the national media and never invited back. And forced to resign for violating their oaths of office. Enough
There is a straight line from the failure of Reconstruction to "We don't need to count everyone's vote in the 2000 election" to "People from places like Madison & Milwaukee aren't real Wisconsinites & shouldn't have their votes count" to "ICE can murder people in cold blood in our cities."

@murray.senate.gov This is spinning completely out of control. It doesn't matter what rules you negotiate; Trump will break them and his armed goons will follow his orders, protected by pardon from any accountability.
This is a result of a President with absolute immunity plus unchecked pardon power. He's already shown he'll pardon insurrectionists and worse. This isn't immigration or even law enforcement - it's lawlessness by masked, highly armed government agents targeting people based on their race or color.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

DHS is blatantly disregarding the law and Constitution. These immigration enforcement agents from various agencies are acting like the President's private army - knowing he will pardon them for anything. This must stop. Abolish ICE now. No more money for DHS.

@charliesavage.bsky.social This policy eviscerates the 4A. If you're not free to go, you're considered under arrest. Under this policy if you try to exercise your right to leave, then you are "fleeing" & that is grounds to arrest you. Exercising 4A right cannot be grounds for warrantless arrest.
This policy is insane. It eviscerates the 4th Amendment. If you're not under arrest, you are free to go. But here, if you're not under arrest and try to leave, the fact you are exercising your Constitutional right to leave becomes the legal basis for arresting you. Blatant Constitutional violation.

The only way this ends is if states start arresting federal agents and charging them with violating state laws. As President, Trump has near absolute legal immunity and an unlimited pardon power. And by pardoning the Jan 6 criminals, he has already told everyone he'll pardon them for sedition too.

@murray.senate.gov Please ensure any DHS funding bill includes a measure prohibiting ICE, CBP, any other DHS agency or federalized National Guard are not allowed anywhere near polling places, ballot drop boxes or ballot counting places.
