This is a great write-up. And, from a practitioner's perspective, the kind of conduct DOJ lawyers have gotten away with to date is massively beyond what would get a private lawyer fined or locked up.

"[G]uessing games."
"One nurse told Cunningham he had heartburn. Another said he had a stomach virus." "He had appendicitis."
"[Y]ou incarcerate us, and then you just say, 'Okay, he's a criminal, he doesn't matter, he can die.'"

Every Democratic Senator voted for this guy.
This is an excellent point by Murphy
You want to support the troops?
Then don’t give Donald Trump the money he needs to send them to die in an illegal war that he started to cover up his connection to Epstein
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
It's wild how there are at least 20-30 people in the Trump administration who are each,, somehow, the most contemptible person you've ever seen in your life. Just an M.C. Escher staircase of loathsomeness.
The parallels with the Fugitive Slave Act regime just keep multiplying

The First Amendment protects our rights to protest and record federal agents performing their duties in public view. Revoking someone’s Global Entry status in retaliation for that activity is unconstitutional.

This is quite the order. Worth reading in its entirety.
if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
The perfect example: The Democrat pols (like Pa.'s Shapiro, Fetterman) out there opposing warehouse concentration camps because of water and sewage issues and not because THEY ARE CONCENTRATION CAMPS
The "Other Authorities" section of the TOA is fantastic. "Hey, check out all of these things that WE wrote."
Came here to post exactly this. And I don't think either of us is joking.
I saw that headline and decided to get up from my desk and go for a walk.
It's a great result in the tariffs case, but let's get ahead of the "SCOTUS is great now!" takes that we're bound to hear. This interview on "autocratic legalism" is a helpful explainer.

Yes, and also a killer podcast host.
Left, my story about how the right wing ex-Honduran president was given special treatment after he was pardoned for drug trafficking - and had his ICE detainer dropped.
Right, a story about a man who spent 43 yrs in prison for a wrongful conviction & was deported once his convicted was overturned
I'm skeptical about Bivens. BUT every trans person incarcerated in the BOP should file an FTCA admin claim -- straightforward medical malpractice for violation of the community standard of care.
My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.
Video of Jesse Jackson crying at the Grant Park celebration on election night 2008 is a core memory of that time period for me.
👀 Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Would it be better for people to say “this was a bad policy at the time and we knew it, but we thought we had to do it to keep power/to ward off even worse policy/etc.”?
(I personally would find it refreshing.)
“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”
It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests — with minimal explanation and even less evidence — that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14 At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of success on their Fifth Amendment claim.
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.
"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."
BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight.

Trump admin loves this guy & helping to position him to take Charlie Kirk’s place as youth role model.
Effing “Breeding Gulags.”
I guess Fuentes includes all menopausal or post menopausal women as “the bad ones”
As I’ve worked since I was 14, I’m not terribly excited by a second career in mining.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
