GOP here in OH almost passed a law that young girls could be subjected to invasive exam to prove they weren't trans. As in, with their hands, they would have to actually touch the womb.
Young girls. GOP has a type. Disgusting.

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …
"It has really become a prison."

DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."
