Another case of a judge ordering ICE not to deport someone, and ICE doing it anyway. This time a US citizen, with a Maryland birth certificate & immunization records.

Her family has not heard from her.

May everyone at DHS have the Christmas they inflicted on her.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

#OldFoxAdventCalendar
The Eleventh Window. Old Fox was going up to London, and Babcia had gone to see him off at the train station. Afterwards, she walked back to the village square to do a little shopping for the day. At the grocers, which was very festive with Christmas trees and garlands and wreaths for sale and fancy tins of Huntley and Palmers, she bought some coffee and laundry soap and a Fuller's chocolate cake, and was just fastening her purse and preparing to leave when the owner emerged from the back and asked if he might possibly have a quick word. He was a tall, broad man with dark curly hair and big bristling eyebrows. Old Fox always said he could play a marvellous Mayor of Casterbridge if he ever felt inclined to join the Hardy players. He was gruff but kind and had a very sweet tooth, which was mirrored in the inventory of his shop, which had one of the best selections of cakes and sweets and chocolates in Dorset. Yes, said Babcia, looking sternly over her lunettes. I was just wondering, Madam, said the Shop Keeper, clearing his throat, if there, were, um, any, um, delicacies from your Poland that you would like us to keep. I asked my supplier and he said they can get most regular things, I believe, from the big cities. We at the store, want you and your grandson to feel most welcome, you see, and I knows how sometimes you miss things from back home, even when you're settled right in, as you are, with Professor Fox. Babcia looked up at the Shop Keeper, who was mopping a bead of sweat from his brow, and extended a paw. That is very good of you, she said, I will consider this very carefully and bring you a list. And she managed to say goodbye, and walk across the Square and then across the Green and down Lace street, until she was enfolded by the rambling scarlet-hawed hedges and arching trees of their own quiet lane, and could have a little cry, blowing her nose with a tiny frilled hankie embroidered with snowdrops. For kindness of that kind to immigrants and people and … Babcia The Village Shop

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.

They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
