In a fiery ruling that accused the government of failing to follow court orders, a federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to notify thousands of immigrants detained nationwide that they can join a lawsuit against the government and get either a hearing or be immediately released.
Judge Orders Hearings for Immigration Detainees and Condemns ‘Terror Against Noncitizens’
As tensions mount between the Trump administration and the courts, the judge called “shameless” a claim by officials that her earlier order was not binding.

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.
I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.
ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.
We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.
