9th Cir. holds that Sec. Noem had no statutory authority to vacate TPS designations for Venezuela and Haiti.

Judge Mendoza, concurring, would additionally hold Noem's action also violated the APA given Noem's explicitly racist comments in vacating TPS.

I refuse to die until I get to see Stephen Miller humiliated as publicly and devastatingly as possible. It is the most important thing in the world to me.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

It is preposterous for Donald Trump to say he no longer feels an obligation to peace…

Does the FIFA World Cup World Peace award not mean anything anymore?

When the better times materialize (& they will, so many are working towards that right now) & it comes time to investigate everything ICE did & it did it, we need to reject the old strategies that have failed us.

Don't let an old prosecutor or police chief lead the way.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.

Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

If you’re a Democrat and your position is anything less than abolishing and prosecuting Trump’s secret police, then you are complicit and enabling fascism through thine cowardice.

This is a good question. Let's talk about it!

Why do civil servants resign in protest? Couldn't they have done more good on the inside? 🧵
Sincerely wanting to understand why is honest people resigning, being considered an act of bravery or somehow fruitful. It’s one thing if the admin felt embarrassed by the resignations & rectified course. But that’s not happening, so now our institutions are just left with fewer people of integrity.
Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Disguising yourself as a civilian in order to carry out a lethal attack is called perfidy and it’s one of the most serious of war crimes. The usual punishment is execution.
