Um...I haven't trusted anyone in this regime since January 20 last year. Glad the judge sees it the same way, but we need to be preparing right now to thwart any attempts by this regime to mess with the vote.
NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
