We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

The original Notice to Appear (the immigration court version of an indictment) against Mahmoud Khalil was a complete mess; a sloppy disaster with multiple outright errors and alleging only the charge of "Rubio says you have to leave"
