Aunt: "How is she going to get deported if she’s a Native American?"
Sheriff: "Well, we don’t know because we’re not [ICE] … We’re just holding her for them. So, when they pick her up tonight they’re going to go ahead & deport her to wherever they’re going to take her, but we have no info on that."

ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.
Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.
It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

We inherited” is the new “but her emails.” They take responsibility for nothing. Who deported workers in the food production industry? Who imposed massive tariffs on finished goods, agricultural products. and raw materials? Who promised to lower prices “on day one”?

Yeah, so, the executive branch isn't supposed to just dole out cash without authorization from Congress whenever it wants. I know, none of the rules apply anymore. It's just one more example.

Performative. But after throwing large amounts of cash around, you wonder why feeding the poor was such an issue.

They don’t care. They never did. They like conspiracy theories because it makes them feel like they know more than other people, but they are in a cult. If their cult, leader is implicated, they disengage.

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.
The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.
Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?
Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.
