I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A break in a pipe – carrying sewage from Dulles to a water treatment plant in D.C. – led to more than 200 million gallons of sewage flowing directly into the Potomac River north of the city. One of the largest environmental disasters of its kind: 51st.news/potomac-sewa...
What you need to know about the big sewage spill in the Potomac
The spill is now largely contained, but people are still warned to avoid contact with the river.

I talk in the episode about a future Congress being one of the few meaningful ways to hold ICE accountable, yes! bsky.app/profile/gacy...
They can still shut down ice when dems get back in power. Its only existed since 2003. I think at the end of the day, probably no one in this regime will suffer any consequences of what theyre doing to this country.

I keep emphasizing this point because I am worried that some US citizens who are doing rapid response may have the false belief that it is illegal for ICE/Border Patrol to arrest them, and out of this incorrect belief respond in ways that make it *more likely* they get arrested or brutalized.
Flatly wrong. No, it is not true that ICE only has jurisdiction over immigration issues and can’t arrest citizens. Immigration officers have authority to criminally arrest anyone for any “offense against the United States” (interfering with a federal officer would count) and any felony they witness.
I'm hearing a lot of talk that they did not have legal authority to compel a U.S. citizen to exit her car, what's your take on that?

There are still open questions, such as whether the admin will now expand a USCIS pause on adjudication of immigration benefits to nationals of the 20 new countries.

In the meantime, check out our (soon-to-be-updated) explainer on the travel ban. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/report/trump...

Today I showed up with #FreeDC at the Mayor’s statehood commission. This was the first meeting of the commission in over two years, despite their mandate to meet twice a year. If the public does not hold our leaders accountable, then there is no accountability.

I'm happy that 901 Monroe St NE (that ANC 5F voted to support) is finally moving forward. I'm disappointed by the concessions that were made and all the advocacy that had to happen, but getting 200+ units right across from the Brookland/CUA metro is to be celebrated. dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blo...
