The Supreme Court just made it easier for ICE to stop you … for being brown. The Court sided with ICE, letting them continue targeting people based on race, language, where they are, or the kind of work they do. This ruling is a setback, but it’s not the end.

The Constitution is a living promise, meant to protect the people when power overreached. On Monday, the justices decided it doesn't apply to everyone.

My critique of today's misguided Supreme Court "shadow docket" ruling staying injunction against racial profiling in immigration enforcement. Ironically, Kavanaugh's rationale is similar to left-wing rationales for affirmative action racial preferences: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.

Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

NEW: Judge Waverly Crenshaw orders that Kilmar Abrego Garcia be released from criminal custody.

He refers Abrego’s request to pause the issuance of any release order for 30 days to the magistrate judge
MEMORANDUM OPINION After "ha[ving] lived safely in the United States with his family for a decade and ha[ving] never been charged with a crime[I" Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S. ----, 145 S. Ct. 1017, 1018 (2025), Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia ("Abrego") returned to the United States of America from his involuntary and "improper]" stay in El Salvador. Id. The United States District Court of Maryland issued an order requiring the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General of the United States, the United States Secretary of State, the Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), the Acting Executive Associate Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, and the Director of ICE's Baltimore Field Office to "facilitate" Abrego's return. See Abrego Garcia v. Noem, 2025 WL 1024654, at *1 (D. Md. Apr. 4, 2025); amended, 2025 WL 1085601 (D. Md. Apr. 10, 2025); see also Abrego Garcia v. Noem, 2025 WL 1014261 (D. Md. Apr. 6, 2025) (Memorandum Opinion in support of April 4, 2025 order). The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit did not disturb the lower court's order, denying the Government's motion to stay the district court's order pending appeal. See Abrego Garcia v. Noem, 2025 WL 1021113, at *1 (4th Cir. Apr. 7, 2025). Yet, Abrego remained in El Salvador. Even after the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the district court's Case 3:25-cr-00115 Document 95 Filed 07/23/25 Page 1 of 37 PagelD #: 1054 instruction that the Government "facilitate" Abrego's "release from custody in El Salvador, Abrego continued to wait to return home. Abrego Garcia, 145 S. Ct. at 1018. In the meantime, the Government presented its criminal case against Abrego to a grand jury in the Middle District of Tennessee. On May 21, 2025, the grand jury filed a two-count Indictment against Abrego. When an arrest warrant for Abrego issued, the Government effectuated his return, arrested him on June 6, 2025, and brought him to Tennessee.. The Magistrate Judge has ordered Abrego's release. The Government disagrees and has filed a Motion for Revocation of Release Order (Doc. No. 45), which has been fully briefed (Doc. Nos. 70, 79, 89). The Court held an evidentiary hearing on July 16, 2025. Based on the June 13, 2025 and July 16, 2025 evidentiary hearings, the Court will deny the Government's Motion. (Doc. No. 45). Abrego should be released under conditions to be set by the Magistrate Judge. I. BACKGROUND' At the time the Court issued its Memorandum Opinion and Order denying the Government's Motion to Stay the decision of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. Nos. 55, 56), it only considered the issue of whether the Government was entitled to a detention hearing. Following the Court's ruling, the Magistrate Judge informed the parties at the June 25, 2025 hearing about the conditions of Abrego's release (see Doc. No. 62). The parties have now briefed whether there are conditions for Abrego's release alongside Government's appeal challenging the Magistrate Judge's release order (see Doc. Nos. 70, 79). Accordingly, the record is now complete for the Court to consider both (1) whether the Government is entitled to a detention hearing, and (2) if so, whether there are no set of conditions that warrant Abrego's release pending trial. ' The Court need not extensively recite the background of the instant motion, which has been set forth aptly in the Magistrate Judge's June 22, 2025 Memorandum Opinion and this Court'…
