Amen to that. Folks need to understand legal ethics required them to quit. You can remonstrate with your client, but when a conflict is created, you part ways.
People get angry that civil servants don't, rather than participate in the regime's assault on the rule of law.

Arlit Maria Martinez wanted to see her son, Kevin, who was dying of cancer. ICE chose to ignore her requests. Kevin passed away two days after Arlit was detained.

Sorry, @joe-scarborough.bsky.social, it is Scalia's America. We are experiencing the maturation of the Reagan Revolution, the main goal of which was that the rich would control society by duping religious communities in order to increase their wealth and destroy civil rights of women and non-whites.
