I am escorting the Crespo-Gonzalez family, including their seven year old daughter, back to Oregon now. Out of respect for the family, additional information is not being shared at this time.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

Aaron is right, and, what's more, the procedural irregularity Douglas details here shows that not only was that the Trump administration's goal here — but that Jones and Duncan helped them along (if it not directly being their goal as well).

In an amicus brief submitted by the MacArthur Justice Center at the Fifth Circuit, immigration law scholars explained quite plainly what was going on here: www.macarthurjustice.org/wp-content/u...

It’s even worse, of course, because one of the five presidential administrations that this eluded was the first Trump administration. They’re saying that for four years Stephen Miller disregarded a statutory command to lock up immigrants!

"sovereign systematically persecutes small child" has never been morally ambiguous at any time, we have the stories

moral rot.

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds." This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings It's a 2-1 ruling Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump) Minority: Douglas (Obama) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Man continues to generate the most Mad Libs headlines imaginable.

Not looking forward to the concurrence from Alito supporting an explicit Trump-is-right-about-everything doctrine.

Great to see the Olympics uniting the world in a common and worthy cause of booing JD Vance.

This is the thing that always blows my mind about Trump v US: presented with the very real circumstances of a president who violated federal law, the majority decide to treat it as a theoretical creative writing exercise, and treat those real circumstances as a far flung hypothetical.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

This is horrifying. WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY?

Cult of personality watch. We don't name things for sitting presidents.

it would be nice if the NYT stopped writing articles that try to address the anticipated objections of their most unhinged right wing critic or at least that also anticipate the criticisms of the most normie resistlib critic

Liam was one of hundreds of kids in this facility. Now, my constituent Diana is locked up there, surely frightened and traumatized. Putting kids in cages is so morally bankrupt it’s beyond words. Release them all.

Reviewing video from Fulton County elections raid. Taken aback by the dismissive & sneering attitude from FBI agents toward the cop politely asking to see the warrant. Looked him up: He's an immigrant w/ a doctorate in philosophy. His thesis? "Force by police officers toward African Americans."

No, she was not right about everything (from 2016). www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

1. Julie Le had a meltdown in open court. 2. She didn't disclose any information the court didn't already know. 3. She volunteered for the job. 4. She could have resigned any time she wanted, she didn't. 5. The other lawyer in the same case, Ana Voss...

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

safe to say there is no legitimate debate anymore

President Trump shared a video on his social media account overnight that depicted the first black president as an ape. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Good man

European countries are going to have to recognize the reality that over the next 3 years the US govt is going to operate like Russia - engaging in systematic efforts to tamper in their elections to elect far-right parties & candidates. It will be worse if Vance becomes president.

Read this

Pro tip to House reporters: Print this out and have with you BEFORE you interview Mike Johnson later today.

Grating…though the more of them we see, probably the more likely it means we have arrived on a less bad timeline than the current one.

News outlets need to inform the public of this; people should be made aware of the racist filth POTUS spews on his social media account.

Lots of time spent on “is Trump fascist” and “is Trump racist” debates that have now been settled quite conclusively.

The legal claim underlying this @nytimes.com article is just absolute nonsense. The law has an explicit statutory exception that clearly applies in this case. And even if it didn't, the PPA is not an "adverse authority," as it's utterly irrelevant to probable cause. nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

So many of these federal cases I think “imagine signing your name to this thing as an attorney” (on the govt side)

The Right is getting better and better at comedy and it’s making the Left nervous.

Mad king

You have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.

The extent to which this administration personally targets and continues the assault on people who embarrass and shame it is particularly despicable.

A BYU alumnus and two faculty members entered the job fair wearing pro-immigrant T-shirts with messages like “I stand with immigrants" and “The kingdom of God has no borders.” An administrator told them to leave, saying BYU is “politically neutral,” and that if they refused they would be arrested.
