![J.J.B.'s holding cell at Whipple "could not hold more than 20 people" - yet it was
packed with 100. (Id. I 12.) The room had a dirty toilet with excrement overflowing. (Id.)
J.J.B. had to ask for toilet paper, but was sometimes denied. (Id.) There were no beds,
blankets, or trashcans, and trash was all over the ground. (Id. I 13.) People slept in
handcuffs and standing up because there was not enough room. (Id.) One person in J.J.B.'s
cell had epilepsy and begged for medication; no one answered. (Id.)

"ICE beat people and denigrated them." (Id. 9 15.) J.J.B. explains that it "seemed
like the ICE officers wanted to scare" him, and they "treated [him] and the other detainees like animals." (Id. 1 22.) Through the duration of J.J.B.'s confinement, he was shackled by
his ankles with handcuffs meant for wrists. (Id. I 12.) Because they were meant for wrists,
they were too small and caused pain, and no one listened to his pleas to loosen them. (Id.)
No one told J.J.B. what they were going to do to him. (Id. I 13.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i3exxl6oahirrqj7phdhg63s/bafkreiadhe62s65g4fabml6gmj56g4beiimuha5tvsfmkjaphqftqmc7ky@jpeg)

There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.

Advocates of the GOP's SAVE Act often charge critics of the bill with being at best tactical federalists and with simply being opposed to voter ID, but that's pretty silly in the case of those of us who were staunch opponents of the old centralizing H.R. 1 and who have no problem with voter ID.
New from me at Cato: The proposed SAVE Act still doesn't pass a basic civics test. It poses severe practical problems for voters and administrators and would give too much power over elections to the president. /1

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).
Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.
One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

(AXIOS) - President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls.

Senate Democrats should offer an amendment to the SAVE act applying the same registration and id provisions to buying beer
Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

These dudes think this is so clever.
Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. It’s a relatively common crime.
There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.
