So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?
It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that JD Vance tried to "soften" things in Minneapolis. He blamed the left for ICE violence and called the 5-year-old's father an "illegal alien" even though he's lawfully applying for asylum.

Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed.
Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign.
If merit still matters, he should be fired.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.
