By the way, by doing this they're admitting that the family is here legally, so the kidnapping was illegal.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...
Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

I’m furious about ICE Constitutional violations , but as a career diplomat I see the ICE attempted invasion of the Ecuador’s diplomatic facility as particularly dangerous. Diplomatic immunity and inviolability of diplomatic missions protects our own people abroad - till now.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Removing expertise is the clearest indication of reducing policy focus. So we aren’t concerned anymore about the risk of Chinese cyberattacks?
WSJ: The Trump administration pushed out two officials focused on neutralizing technological threats from China, people familiar with the matter said, in the latest dismissals of key personnel working on national-security issues tied to Beijing.

If you believe masked and unidentified men can shoot anyone, with impunity, for not doing what they say - you can’t assume you’ll be safe. Police states are not safe places to be.

Important post: my colleague documents an “official, nationwide policy of intimidating and threatening people who attempt to observe and record DHS operations,” or who peacefully and without interference follow and protest them, even though the First Amendment broadly protects doing those things. /1
On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.
