The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

The SC declining to take on Jones’s Sandy Hook case is not only very funny but clears the way for something funnier to happen. Please, we need this.

Two things can be true:
1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; &
2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.

Having now read this, the fact that the FBI arrested a judge for what was a 22-min delay in arresting the alleged suspect is even more disturbing than originally thought. This is insanity.

Per the FBI affidavit supporting the complaint, the case appears to rest on Dugan knowing about the administrative warrant—while allegedly challenging its sufficiency to effectuate the arrest at the courthouse—and that—regardless of her challenge—creating an obligation that she not impede it.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Senator Van Hollen got on a plane to make an attempt to even speak with Abrego Garcia while the federal government is saying they aren’t going to ask for him back, and will detain him if he reenters the country. This should not be happening.
Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him

This is what it looks like when a Senator stands up for their constituents, in case anyone was wondering.
I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Say it louder for the people who can’t.
the way I’ve been thinking about it is: if noncitizens face real danger for saying what they think, then it is the responsibility of citizens, who don’t yet face that same danger, to be even louder

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake.
Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back.
If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe.
