Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Publicly and repeatedly demand impeachment or resign.

If you do neither, go ahead and pack your office because you’re losing your next election.

IMPEACH NOW.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled.

ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture.

Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

Fiasco for Trump as Judge Issues Harsh Rebuke in Abrego Garcia Case
Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

Correcting myself on this thread: DHS did in fact submit a filing to the judge claiming that there was a "scrivener's error," so there was a filing at the immigration court.

That still does not make the issuance of a removal order six years after the fact "correcting a scrivener's error."
ORDER OF THE IMMIGRATION JUDGE Immigration Court's Sua Sponte Order Correcting Scrivener's Error Order: On December 11, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) filed a District Court Order with the Immigration Court. That District Court Order ordered the Respondent released from DHS custody based on a belief the Respondent had not been previously ordered removed by the Immigration Court. The DHS filing with the Immigration Court noted a scrivener's error in the Immigration Judge's original final written decision in this case. That scrivener's error was that while the Respondent was granted the benefit of withholding of removal to El Salvador, the Immigration Judge had not expressly stated in the written order that the Respondent was ordered removed to El Salvador. Although the parties have not raised this issue with the Immigration Court throughout the past five years of litigation in this matter, the Immigration Court will take this opportunity now to correct that scrivener's error. Procedurally, the Respondent admitted the factual allegations contained in the Notice to Appear and conceded removability as charged at a master calendar hearing on May 29, 2019. Based on the Respondent’s admissions and concessions, the Court found his removability was established by clear and convincing evidence. The Court further designated El Salvador as the country of removal. The Respondent agreed with that country designation. On July 25, 2019, the Respondent filed a form I-589 application for asylum, withholding of removal, and for protection under the Convention Against Torture. A full evidentiary individual merits hearing was held on September 27, 2019, and the Immigration Court issued a written decision on October 10, 2019. That decision is incorporated by reference herein (See Immigration Judge's written decision of October 10, 2019). In the written decision, the Immigration Judge found that the Respondent's removability was established by clear and convincing evidence (Immigration Judge's October 10, 2019, decision, p. 2.) Following the full evidentiary trial, the Immigration Judge denied the Respondent's request for asylum and for protection under the Convention Against Torture. (This order does not amend or change those determinations.) The Immigration Judge, however, granted the Respondent the benefit of withholding of removal to El Salvador. While the Respondent was previously found to be removable and El Salvador was designated as the country of removal, the Immigration Judge's final written order stated that "the Respondent’s application for withholding of removal pursuant to INA § 241(b)(3) is GRANTED," but the order of removal to El Salvador, which should have preceded the order granting him withholding of removal to El Salvador, was erroneously omitted. Matter of I-S- & C-S-, 24 I&N Dec. 432, 434 (BIA 2008) clarified that “when an Immigration Judge decides to grant withholding of removal, an explicit order of removal must be included in the decision.” The Immigration Court now corrects that scrivener's error and amends the written decision in this case by adding the following: The Respondent is ordered removed to El Salvador based on the charge contained in the Notice to Appear, but the Respondent’s application for withholding of removal to El Salvador pursuant to INA § 241(b)(3) is granted. The Court also corrects the reference to Guatemala to read El Salvador at page 13 of the written decision. These corrections are hereby issued nunc pro tunc to the Immigration Court's written decision and order of October 10, 2019. (The Judge issuing this correction states that he has familiarized himself with the record in this matter as required pursuant to 8 CFR 1240.1(b)).

Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.

Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress.

We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...
6d Listen to this article Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses. About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church. The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too. "Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody," he said. "One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him." Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken. Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez.
