Eyes up on Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos. Things are moving fast. The judiciary is slowing down the process by keeping him jailed. For real.

Henrry Villatoro Santos, the VA man government officials accused of being a leader of MS-13, will stay in a U.S. jail for now by choice rather than face almost certain deportation to El Salvador w/out due process. A judge granted a stay in his case while the courts figure out what DHS plans to do.

In a surprise move, federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss the only criminal charge filed against the Dale City man the Trump administration deemed the “East Coast leader” of MS-13, a transnational gang.

So many personal stories shared by the protestors at the Manassas #Handsoff rally on Saturday. People are motivated.

More than double the expected attendance at #Handsoff in Manassas, with over 700 people.

"Not My President" President's Day protests promoted by @indivisible.org and @50501movement.bsky.social showed up DC, NYC, ATL and lots of other big cities across the US. They also showed up in Woodbridge and Warrenton in VA. Check out your neighbors who showed up for democracy.

My latest story for the Prince William Times highlights challenges local federal workers face and offers insight into what our Northern VA community might risk financially if the mass reductions in the federal workforce come to pass.

At a town hall Monday, Rep. Subramanyam urged feds to speak out and not to trust the Trump Admin's "Fork" offer. “I don’t know if I trust that they’ll pay you through when they say they’ll pay you,” he said. “We appropriate funds in Congress, and there's no appropriation.”

I'll be covering this town hall in Leesburg, VA tonight. (Feb. 3.)

Happy New Year! For those who have real Christmas trees, sadly, it's close to the time to say goodbye. Maybe give it to a hungry goat? ❤️
