The message here is: love thy fecal matter, cuz we aren't going to regulate ANYTHING to keep our waters clean. Swim in it, throw your kids in it, and let the coliform chips fall where they may.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:
An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

REPOST IMMEDIATELY! EMERGENCY VIDEO: Not an alarmist or conspiracy theorist, but they are going to start snatching children!! YOU MUST WATCH THIS. THIS IS A DIRE EMERGENCY!!! EVEN OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN CAN DISAPPEAR!
Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.
Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.
Don’t let this go!!!

She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”
