This is the purge. Hegseth moves fast. He cuts the officers who still hold to their Oath. He builds his chain of command close in, tight, unyielding. And all of it drives toward the election, the interference running beneath the surface, the shape of power decided before a single vote is cast.

BIA Declares War on Bond Hearings: Millions Now Face Indefinite Detention mikebakerlaw.com/blog/2025/09...

The Absurd Result: Visa overstay (admitted then stayed): Gets bond hearing under § 236(a) 30-year resident who crossed as a child: No hearing, ever This arbitrary distinction violates equal protection and fundamental fairness.
