Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?
Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

The fight for voting rights never ends. Last month, Indiana passed a law banning the use of university-issued IDs as valid voter identification at the polls. The state allows far less secure IDs making this a “surgical attack on young voters.” Advocacy groups have filed suit. @lwvus.bsky.social

Request that its agents and contractors release Abrego Garcia from custody in El
Salvador pursuant to the contract or arrangement providing for his detention there
at the Government's direction. See ECF No. 31 at 11-12 ("the record reflects that Defendants have 'outsource[d] part of the [United States'] prison system" and "just as in any other contract facility, Defendants can and do maintain the power to secure and transport their detainees, Abrego Garcia included").
Dispatch personnel to accompany Abrego Garcia upon his release from CECOT to
ensure his safe passage to the aircraft that will return him to the United States.
Provide air transportation for Abrego Garcia to return to Maryland, because he may not be in current possession of sufficient identification to board a commercial flight.

The Government should be ordered to immediately produce contemporaneously
prepared documents, in such form as they existed at the time of Abrego Garcia's removal, sufficient to reflect the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the Government's use of CECOT to house U.S. deportees.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreigurxct4ymfhlb6ahhoqjmmhac2bojn5dmuttqzsastc6bua6ihku@jpeg)
