This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant).
She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:
An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Something big is at stake here. Trump and Stephen Miller are trying to acclimatize us to the imagery and language of fascism: Forced disappearances, rendition to foreign prisons, ritual humiliation of despised enemies within.
Good to see public rejection of this:

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING NONSTOP!
"Every single moment, statement, or action that slows down the backslide into authoritarianism is a good one, and we should look for and document them." www.lawdork.com/p/what-the-t...
"Every single moment, statement, or action that slows down the backslide into authoritarianism is a good one, and we should look for and document them." www.lawdork.com/p/what-the-t...
the only approach to trump that has ever made sense was “slow him down as much as possible while rallying public support to your cause” and while most politicians, pundits, and big law partners don’t get this, some do, and lawyers in particular have the tools to act on that understanding
in the spirit of self-crit: in past years I have certainly been among those who have been vocally skeptical of the role of law and lawyers in meaningfully constraining armed agents of the state. but I do think we have to hand it to lawyers at this time

I kinda think a Dem voting for *anything* on the GOP agenda—a Trump nominee, Al Green censure, anything—functions basically as an endorsement of the ongoing destruction of government. Republicans are the people who can stop him, and they're just fully on board with a coup. You can't join their side!

We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters.
I’d expect the Surgeon General or NIH Director to do this, but since they’re not, here it is in 4 clips.
