Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @judiciarydems.senate.gov · 1d

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

#ProudBlue This is not a surprise given as how the administration is trying to criminalized homelessness. The unhoused are easy pickings; it’s much more likely their disappearance will not be immediately noticed.

The total immorality of this administration is mindnumbing.

in the column this week:

-advocates have confirmed/are investigating the abductions of ~25 unhoused folks by federal agents in chicago (via @katieprout.bsky.social)

-state/local leaders crack down on anti-ice protesters

-civil rights orgs ask chief judge to bar ice arrests at county courthouses

Make It Make Sense: ICE targets Chicago’s homeless community

Plus: state and local leaders crack down on anti-ICE protesters and advocates ask the chief judge to keep ICE out of county courthouses.

Important Wednesday Night Update

From posting private DMs to “plenary authority” to calls for imprisoning opponents, the administration is normalizing authoritarian power in plain sight.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

@democracynow.org had @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and me on together to explain that she is not being sworn in because she is the 218th signatory for the release of the Epstein files. Swear her in today.
