Raskin: To promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring. You still haven't with them.

In a win for Trump's mass deportation program, a devastating court ruling now allows for indefinite immigration detention without bond hearings. With ICE looking to scale up its detention facility capacity, people are fighting back.
The ICE Prisons and Camps Are About To Get A Lot Worse
A head-spinning appellate decision just greenlit detentions without end, supercharging an already horrific human rights crisis.

Some day we will look back at the US campaign against the ICC with shame. In a world with genocide and mass atrocities, the ICC has been a rare tool to end impunity and deter those planning the next Srebrenica, the next Darfur, the next Rwanda. We're on the wrong side of history.
Trump has imposed sanctions on 8 ICC judges and 3 prosecutors. “The sanctioned ICC staff,” Reuters noted, “now sit on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals list, alongside suspected al Qaeda terrorists, Mexican drug traffickers and North Korean arms dealers.” wapo.st/3MsWi3c
Opinion | Trump has a strongman’s contempt for international law
The president’s indifference to domestic legal constraints is reflected in his actions outside the U.S.

There is no reforming an institution like this. Abolish and prosecute ICE, and may fifteen generations shudder at their sentence
NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure.
Her whereabouts & health are now unknown.
The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

I think we need to have a “Lord of the Rings” fan fiction series that takes place in an alternate timeline in which Galadriel took the Ring from Frodo. Just seeing her as a powerful queen with powers to match Sauron’s would be a firecracker! Maybe call it “Lady of the Rings.”

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.
DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.
