“Just the day before he was detained, Ya’akub had recorded and participated in a city council meeting in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, where he spoke out in support of local community leader Marwan Marouf who was detained by ICE, according to a court filing from his legal team last week.”
A photojournalist was arrested by ICE at gunpoint — and his DACA status revoked.
“Ya’akub isn’t being accused of breaking immigration law — his DACA protection doesn’t expire until May 2026. In fact Ya’akub’s lawyers say he hasn’t been accused of any crime.”

He KNEW of the OLC memos authorizing torture before he was charged, even had copies.
It didn't keep him out of prison.

In the transcript of her interview, Ghislaine Maxwell was told she could not lie to DOJ officials.
The email that’s most newsworthy in my mind is the one that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011.
1. This was years before Trump ran for office.
2. It appears that Ghislaine Maxwell lied to DOJ officials during her meeting with them a couple months ago.
