Good morning from Chicago's Dirksen Federal Courthouse.
A hearing before District Judge Georgia Alexakis has just begun on whether Chicagoan Marimar Martinez, who Border Patrol agent Charles Exum shot in October, can publicize certain materials from the DOJ's dropped criminal case against her.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

Last year, I emailed Chicago’s chief homelessness officer, Sendy Soto, as well as spokespeople for both Soto & Mayor Johnson, six times. I wanted to understand their approach to evicting unhoused Chicagoans from the shelters they build to survive. No response.

Le then says she didn't receive proper training, and that there are only four AUSAs working on habeas petitions (they're so screwed). Earlier she said she'd shadowed other attorneys for about 3 weeks and that "when you showed up, they just throw you in the well and then here we go."

After Trump tells NBC News he could maybe use a "softer touch" on immigration, we immediately get the "different tone" narrative from CNN.
Brianna Keilar: "A change of tone for the president. Softer touch."
David Chalian: "He acknowledged learning something that this requires a softer touch."
