NEW: After Gov Jared Polis (D) told me that Tina Peters must show contrition to gain clemency, an attorney for Peters now says she "has remorse." Peters has long maintained she did "nothing wrong" in leading a breach of Colorado's voting systems and is a political prisoner.

Fair point to ask how I could be so bad at my job. Tina Peters has a history of refusing to show remorse, even when it would personally benefit her (ie at sentencing). It appears she also wasn't willing to take a plea. I badly miscalculated in thinking Peters wouldn't feign remorse for clemency.

These victims shot by ICE were helpers....

Sigh. Transferring people and not timely updating the ICE detainee locator or telling family or lawyers where they are has long been a tactic of enforced disappearance used by DHS to hinder the filing of habeas petitions to defend rights. This is just one recent example: apple.news/AhOtuCu2FTby...
