Judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from ICE custody
The judge's order represents an immediate affront to senior Trump administration officials, who once vowed Abrego would “never walk America’s streets again.”

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.

Christine Le Jeune was testifying against an Open AI/Oracle data center campus coming to her city of Port Washington. The officers claimed this was disorderly conduct - but I just see a woman exercising her rights as an American. Officer’s dragged her out.

It's Day 1380 of the colonial war waged by Russia. Many are convinced we're close to a settlement, but how can you trust terrorists, particularly after breaking myriad promises?

Good morning on Day 1379 of the war in Europe.

The day after the 'crunch' Moscow talks and... nothing's changed. Ukraine wants peace. Russia refuses.

Strangely, still no post from Trump on Putin's latest humiliation of US 'power'

It's the daily thread - still never missed a day!
