Let’s add the words “supremely corrupt” to this court description!!!
The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."
Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court is the place where America's nine wisest judges gather in a room to decide that, under the law, state lawmakers get a free pass to racially gerrymander their states, as long as they wait until the election is a couple months away
A Thoughtful Child Could Spot the Problem With the Supreme Court’s Sloppy Pro-Gerrymandering Decision
The shadow docket order in the Texas redistricting case provides state lawmakers with step-by-step instructions for drawing discriminatory maps without having to worry about judicial review.

Keep pressure on Republican leaders and Supreme Court to do something. It will only get worse. Trump is violating the Constitution daily, and must be put in check or removed.

Voice of America went back to court today and found Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, in a fiery mood.
Lamberth chastised the government for failing to comply with his preliminary injunction and even suggested starting a contempt trial.

Yes. Stephen Miller literally overrode the Secretary of Agriculture on worksite raids. She convinced Trump to back her, he publicly announced a new policy, and Miller got that entire thing overturned in a matter of days and made Trump publicly back his vision instead.
