ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Orin is probably the preeminent fourth amendment scholar in the United States. He is also extremely professional. This is the way he says "I wish a bitch would try"
This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant.
I would like to see that argument.

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent.
More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.

Okay folks - I bit on this story but am reconsidering: perhaps PLATO refers to A& M’s CANVAS-like platform for posting materials, NOT THE PHILOSOPHER HIMSELF. A quick google shows there are Plato-the-philosopher courses at the school, unmolested. Still sucks. Can an A&M person please confirm?
