Journalists and others are being denied access to Mahmoud Khalil's remote immigration hearing -- a major national news story.
People are still trying to find out what's going on but this seems pretty damn unconstitutional. We don't have secret courts in this country.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?
President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…
The book is called “The Jungle.”
