Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up.

We spend $800 billion a year on our military yet our greatest enemy lives in the White House and we fly him to his own golf course for play dates on the weekend.
We also fly him abroad to facilitate his emoluments violations while we fly others to concentration camps.

This is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)
The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.
