Democrats should commit now to disregarding any presidential pardons issued before charges have been filed. Whether or not Trump tries to sign blanket pardons for officials like Hegseth, they should be arrested as soon as Trump leaves office.

It’s not dangerous or overcrowded, it’s not where protests occur, it’s a corporate business area with tall buildings & some retail shops. Lots of law firms & dentists offices.

I've been waiting for a fuller picture. By no means is shooting people the right answer, but the injustice suffered by Afghans is criminal.
"Mustafa served alongside the United States military in Afghanistan. Like so many other Afghans who helped American forces, he later came to the US for its promise of refuge. When I met him recently, though, he had only just left an ICE detention center after months behind bars."
The US Let Afghanistan Fall. Now It's Deporting Afghans.
As the Trump administration escalates deportations, tens of thousands of Afghans are in the US without permanent legal protections.
