Last week, I visited a Hanukkah market in New York City. Inside, the atmosphere was joyous, filled with community and tradition—exactly as it should be. Outside, the reality was sobering: metal detectors at the synagogue doors, heavy police presence, and blocked-off streets.

DESPICABLE: Watch how Hamas terrorists staged the recovery of the body of a hostage

Footage taken by an IDF drone shows Hamas terrorists bringing a body bag out of a building, burying it, and then digging it up again and calling Red Cross representatives to witness the "recovery" of the body.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.

Forget about the legal case.

A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him.

Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.

This is not lawful.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

There are other people doing this work, and I definitely urge you, if you live in the detention belt (Deep South to eastern NM, with emphasis on LA/TX), to familiarize yourself with the local orgs where you are and see what help they need.

But, point is, you have options if you want to help.

Seeing a lot of anger over people in ICE detention having to eg file habeas claims on their own.

There are existing efforts to support these folks: not just full legal rep, but partial assistance (easier to scale).
