Please. Someone tell me why this would ever be okay. Why? This is an abomination of who we are as a country.
Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.

Ambushing & arresting people who are here legally & are obeying the law by checking in with ICE as they’re required to do.
Repressive fear tactics that will NOT end with immigrants alone. Why would it? It’s a handy way to force your opposition into compliance and silence, & take dictatorial control

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

People with dementia sometimes get agitated and frustrated. New services provide a sort of Netflix for dementia, with videos designed for this population — leaving out confusing plots or jarring ads.

Constitutional scholars say Article 2 does not grant the president unlimited power, despite Trump's legal arguments. A political science professor explains why the Supreme Court may ultimately have to decide how far executive authority can go. https://buff.ly/4biAY8t

Trump’s claims of vast presidential powers run up against Article 2 of the Constitution and exceed previous presidents’ power grabs
Donald Trump claims that Article 2 of the Constitution gives him the right ‘to do whatever I want as President.’ A constitutional law scholar says ‘Not so.’
