I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Providing people in government custody with access to legal counsel isn't optional — it's required by the Constitution.
ICE regularly violates this right and won't let people speak with their lawyer confidentially. We're taking ICE to court because people have a right to speak to their attorneys.

President Trump's lethal strikes on boats in the Caribbean are cold-blooded murder. We need to know how his administration is claiming to justify them.

Tell Congress: Stop President Trump's illegal boat strikes
Since September, the Trump administration has murdered nearly 90 people in international waters, ordering over 20 lethal strikes on civilian boats near Venezuela. Congress must conduct oversight and call for an end to this illegal bombing campaign.
