Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

3d Cir. holds that habeas corpus petitions challenging immigration detention are "civil actions," so prevailing noncitizens may be entitled to attorneys' fees and costs under the Equal Access to Justice Act.

Don’t let the 2024 Election make you forget a core political truth: when Trump is in power, people hate him and his enablers.
His second term’s abuses have only made that truth more incandescent.
Do not despair.
We will win.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

Can we stop calling them “white evangelicals” and simply call them Christian Nationalists?”
The Pew poll, conducted Jan. 20-26, found majorities of all religious groups except white evangelicals disapprove of Trump. White evangelicals give him a net 69% approval, which is about the same as in 2019.
