Youth-driven protests force Bulgaria’s unpopular government to resign. Bulgaria’s late-2025 street protests used the same playbook as Nepal & Madagascar: young organisers turned online networks into mass turnout, culminating in the government’s resignation in Dec 2025.

After yesterday’s disgraceful performance by Pam Bondi, it’s more important than ever that we double down. We’re going to see the documents ourselves and keep fighting for justice for Epstein’s victims.

I had two clients moved within an hour of ICE learning we were looking for them and advising us there was not plan to move them.
A family of four moved 36 hours after a court order forbidding them from being moved.
3 other clients moved within a day of court-ordered injunctions.

3. Deplorable accommodations. A client sick with the flu was forced to sleep on a frigid concrete floor. In Camp East Montana, fetid water leaches through the roof and soaks the beds.

These are the conditions under which the Trump regime wants to detain noncitizens indefinitely. It violates international law, the Eighth Amendment, and our own laws & regulations.
And the DOJ and DHS are willing to manipulate any law, defy any court order, to keep doing so.
