Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.

The government can spend money on concentration camps but not on housing. It really is this obscene.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

FLAG: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal ICE memo reviewed by NYT.
The change expands the ability of lower-level ICE agents to carry out sweeps rounding up people they suspect are undocumented immigrants.

Tim Walz’s recap of his conversation with the president should shock us all. The president is incoherent, can’t keep facts straight, and is so mentally impaired, it demands response from Congress, no matter political parties. The president is severely, mentally compromised.
