WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …
"It has really become a prison."
"It has really become a prison."
DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."
She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?
Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?
And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

20,000 military families rely on SNAP benefits. Additionally, around 1 million veterans do as well.
The money is available. Congress provided the money specifically for cases of shutdowns. This is one man's choice. And that one man is the President.

This is the weirdest statement. Trusting the experts is an absolute feature of science. If a doctor tells you that you need an operation to remove a brain tumor, you don't go home and call a plumber to fix it.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump lying about Portland being a war zone isn't insanity. It is a carefully calculated lie invented by Stephen Miller, cynically intended to provide a pretext for seizing authoritarian power. It isn't random madness, it's calculated fascism.

When you can’t rig the numbers, fire the messenger. Classic authoritarian move.
