Strongly recommend that people read this--especially lawyers and people who are interested in the government's compliance (or lack thereof) with court orders. This is a shocking demonstration of contempt of court--shocking even in light of the Trump administration. [1/2]
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

It's only a betrayal of the source material if the new character appearance is non-white. Otherwise it's sparkling adaptation choices.

I’m going to suggest, gently, that while it’s good that a judge ordered the government to release a five-year-old from an inhumane prison, it’s not good that a federal judge signed off with citations to Bible verses.

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovino’s prior short statement that they were simply reassigned.
There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful.

Ilan Wurman's anti-birthright citizenship Supreme Court amicus. I won't mince words. He bastardizes the common law. It is a methodologically bankrupt approach to the history of Anglo-American constitutionalism. It is little more than preening to gain someone's favor, but certainly not a scholar's.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

I do not just throw out praise for Senate Dem leadership, but this is good. It’s what we need now - Dems using their leverage where they’ve got it and refusing to budge. Make GOP own this lawless goon squad. No Dem votes for it. Support Dems who are fighting back now regardless of past beefs.
Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

As JD Vance starts trying to play "nice Gestapo" to Steven Miller's "mean Gestapo," it's worth emphasizing that what's happening in Minnesota is a direct descendant of Vance's knowingly false racist demagoguery during the campaign. "Somalis are low-IQ thieves" is "Haitians are eating your pets."
