Lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia: I don’t want it to be lost how courageous Kilmar has been and how he’s made some very hard decisions in the course of this litigation. He didn’t have to go down this path of fighting and exposing the administration for what they’re doing.

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

I’ve reached out to NY AG James’ office and Mayor Mamdani’s office to find out how they plan on responding to this gross overreach.
