UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

Dana Briggs' case has been downgraded to a misdemeanor, btw. And his lawyer sought a trial.

It's set for Dec. 8.

Just checked with my sister in Portland AND with this website and it appears that, once again, Portland is not burning.

This is what ice is doing

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Venezuela has called on the UN Security Council for an emergency session over the US military buildup near its waters.

Caracas warned of a possible armed attack “in a very short time.”

He remains in custody. Court adjourned.

ICE official testifies that DHS “prematurely” sent Abrego Garcia a notice that he would be removed to Ghana.

Just this morning, Ghana’s foreign minister wrote on X that the country had “directly and unambiguously conveyed to US authorities” that Abrego cannot be deported there.

[Sorry, I dont know what happened with a fairly crucial frame above. But Guynn seemed a little surprised that Schultz could not say that Eswatini would accept Abrego if the injunction was lifted. At Judge had taken over the questioning at that point. Guynn tried to interrupt, but in vain.]
