This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

I know the Sgt. Schultz routine seems to work for GOP legislators, but claiming you’re unaware of massively viral videos of ICE misconduct when you’re the director of ICE just makes you sound hopelessly incompetent and out of the loop.

This was not an inevitability.
This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.
It does not have to be this way.

What clearly happened is that the move to minimum security and self-exculpatory testimony to Blanche were intended to give Trump the *political* room to pardon her and that backfired. So now she's making that self-exculpating offer *again* even as she's *also* pleading the Fifth.

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE in Trump's first year back had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal DHS document obtained by CBS News — undermining the admin's claim that they're primarily targeting dangerous and violent criminals.

Why is 'Jeffrey Epstein' redacted in the Epstein files?
The redaction of Jeffrey Epstein's own name in some of the Epstein files shows a DOJ desperate to keep some secrets from Trump's first term buried.
