Did you see this horseshit? The guy who had his window busted & was scooped up by ICE while looking for someone else had his trial & the gov didn’t have any charges filed against him so the judge ordered his release. Instead of releasing him, gov claims a “clerical error” & are keeping him.
Update: govt claims the reason he's been sitting in a cell for four weeks with no charges is because they filed charges with wrong A-number and only noticed as he was going to be released but NOW they have the right one so they're gonna charge him now ok cool cool totally normal
Immigrant ordered released by judge is still in custody as ICE files charges - The New Bedford Light
The misdemeanor charges against Juan Francisco Méndez could keep him in custody at least until next week.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.

The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.

Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

If you see your Senator’s name on this list, call them at (202) 224-3121 and ask them how voting for Trump appointments is “fighting back”

Flood their phones. Let ‘em know.

Can confirm: Just spoke to him, and Barber and two others were, in fact, arrested.

Story coming.
BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.

Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.

I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Rest in peace, Pope Francis. Thank you for renewing the Church's commitment to peace and justice in this world. Truly a great leader. You will be sorely missed on Earth.
