Why aren’t the Courts in the US conducting remote hearings for refugees and asylum seekers?

If my clients were being targeted by rogue agencies with no accountability I’d be applying for judges to list cases remotely so the client could attend safely. Scary stuff.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Yes, more of this, please. It's also very fun watching the son of my best friends acting in this clip. Go Andrew!!!
The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.”

No warrant. No due process. No rights.

Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.
