Yesterday a judge ordered ICE to improve conditions in holding cells at ICE's field office in NYC. It's a good decision, yet many of the responses here are along the lines of "none of this matters" or "they'll just ignore this." Those responses are wrong. Here's a quick thread on why.

The confirmation of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. A former Trump lawyer, Bove ordered a 15-year DOJ veteran to lie to a federal judge — then helped fire him for refusing. Now he’s a judge. Corruption in action.
