1. There is no statute of limitations for murder
2. Hegseth, unlike Trump, does not have immunity for “official actions”
3. Even if Trump ordered it all, it isn’t a defense

Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

Just a reminder to all Americans:
Documents created by, and in possession of, government agencies, belong to the citizens of the United States.
We paid for them to be produced.
They’re ours.
Never forget that.

All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.

Judges following a statute entirely proper under the Constitution, but doing so against Trump's wishes, have "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
