WATCH— @abbydphillip to ben ferguson: “Hold on a second… we just played for people at home EXACTLY what the video says. You can’t then sit here and lie about that same video. It said you cannot follow ILLEGAL orders.”

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.
This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.

DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”
That’s seems really bad.

Reminds me - the chaos, fear and community disruption in and around Chicago (not to mention the $$ millions of our money spent)
has resulted in a grand total <16> immigrants with criminal records being detained.

Mike Pence wrote an opinion piece for Fox News. Reading the headline, I was like, "Okay, seems like a normal take."
Then I read the subheadline and... bro, what?

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

In the very early days of Nazi rule local law enforcement would sometimes intervene if a local was being threatened by Nazis acting unlawfully. There was still an idea that the law mattered. That didn’t last long.
Not saying things will get that bad here but we seem to be in a similar stage.

First of all, this judge is a hero.
Secondly, my god this is egregious conduct. Imagine being this judge, driving this poor kid home, only to have ICE threaten to smash your car windows on your way out of the lot??

The Coast Guard reversed its 'swastikas aren't all that bad' policy just hours after the Washpost broke the story.
It's both surprising, and good, to see that one government agency these days is capable of being embarrassed, and changing course quickly.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

Mike Johnson seemed baffled and appalled that anyone would dare repeat the US military’s own long-standing guidance that unlawful orders should be refused.
Jeffries: "What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune had the decency to distance himself from Trump's remarks. But Mike Johnson couldn't say a thing."

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.

The same Trump administration who is physically assaulting people in the streets, blowing up boats without evidence, and advocated for hanging political opponents has thoughts on what constitutes human rights infringement.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Wrote a column for tomorrow morning about all the crazy shit Trump has done **this week** and hoo boy, let me tell you, it’s a lot. And any one of these things would’ve gotten any past president impeached. The GOP owns every bit of this stain on our history.

In another example of testimony that wasn't backed up by evidence, the head of ICE ERO's Chicago Field Office testified that a protestor had "ripped a beard off an agent's face" and broken part of ICE's building.
When questioned, he admitted he had no evidence of this at all.
