I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

🧵This should be on the front page of every print media. If Ms. Kennedy was really heard, respected & it meant something important, we wouldn’t be on the verge of killing our own people. Spread this, print it & pass it along. The media must do their jobs & force the hands of the Senators & Trump. ⬇️

A Florida court detained a US Citizen for being an "illegal immigrant." He showed the court proof of citizenship. The court agreed—& held him anyway.

I criticized the ruling online & a Florida judge responded by trying to strip me of my law license. I fought back www.qasimrashid.com/p/a-florida-...

Remember the Georgetown Law students naming and shaming Trump-capitulating law firms? They helped marshal massive support for a firm that's fighting back in court.

Look at these numbers, and read this brief.
