My analogy - someone enters USA from Canada in a car. Border guards suspect them of smuggling drugs, so they shoot them, then set the car and body on fire. Not ok. And the same as what's happening here.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.
As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.

What a smarmy, greasy little liar Johnson is.
House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.
Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵
