Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya was used as bait by ICE, just like they did to Liam Ramos.
The Dilley camp has held the 9 year old for 113 days. She wrote a letter pleading to go home to Columbia.
Make noise for all of them.
Public pressure got Liam released.
Now close the camps.

The billionaires running these enterprises have bought protection from federal lawmakers. So only action from "we the people" will rein them in.
A trial that began today in Los Angeles has the potential to change social media—maybe even the internet—as we know it, Kaitlyn Tiffany reports.
Can Instagram Ruin Your Life? The Jury Will Decide.
The first in a wave of legal cases alleging that social media is dangerously addictive is now on trial.

Less than 14% of the 400,000 immigrants arrested by the Trump regime in the last year had charges or convictions for violent crimes.
It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about terrorizing communities.
Democrats must refuse to fund this cruelty.

This would be funny if it wasn't so scary. GOP claims allowing mail ballots to be counted after Election Day (if mailed prior) is a "recent" "dangerous" action - though it's been done for decades & there's no evidence of any problem.
