ICE agents detained a 19-year-old immigrant in Chicago on June 12; in the month since he's been shuffled across 3 Kentucky jails.
His story so far is a look into the legal and logistical strategies being used to defeat immigration cases nationwide.

Arrested, transferred, lost, dismissed: One Chicago resident's journey through ICE detention
U.S. immigration authorities have moved one young man so often over the last month that even the Department of Homeland Security has had trouble keeping track of him.

Donald Trump Jr in 2024: How is it that my father could be convicted of 34 crimes, but no one on Epstein's list has even been brought to light? I'm trying to figure out how that's possible. It's almost like they're trying to protect those pedophiles for some reason. I can't imagine why.

The Epstein files were a big story when people thought maybe some Democrats were in them. But now that Trump is refusing to release them, possibly because of his own appearance in them, it's not such a big story anymore.

The ultimate betrayal stings like a hidden blade. DOJ’s Epstein memo is a shameless whitewash, denying a client list or murder. It’s a grotesque curtain drawn over elite corruption, shielding predators while justice bleeds out in plain sight.

My sense is that the 22 agencies that were combined into the new Department of Homeland Security in 2002 generally functioned better before the combination. Isn't it worth seriously considering whether it's time to do away with DHS and disperse its various functions back to DOJ, Treasury, etc?

It's Veep now, every day. They have become completely untethered from reality. It's all a show, a terrible Trumpian shitshow every day.
So 34 million Americans are going to go work on farms. Moving into rural communities, right? Got it. That's a brilliant plan.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

This from a senior U.S. government official reads like a translation of a statement by a Soviet apparatchik from the 1930s, or a Maoist one from the 1960s.

The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

This is getting lost. When Stephen Miller shrieks orders for 3000 daily arrests, they HAVE TO go after noncriminals. It's the only way to juice the numbers. So Miller is shifting resources away from serious crimes toward that.
