- once again: lawyers are morally responsible for their professional decisions. people get really mad about this but … you picked the job. you took the money. you own what you’ve done.
- A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.

- the sensible people of this country want to get rid of ICE and Democratic politicians do not want to get rid of ICE we don’t have to do this goofy dance like it’s mysterious it’s a simple truth move past anyone who refuses to acknowledge

- More evidence that DHS is lying when it claims that its enforcement operations are “targeted,” rather than indiscriminate sweeps www.thedailybeast.com/leaked-email...
- Kira Kelley, who represents folks arrested by ICE in MN: "Most of my clients, they report that respondents, upon detaining them, have no idea who they are. They are pulled over for how they look or for where they are ..." source: drive.google.com/file/d/1FnY2...
- Judge Blackwell: "this hearing is really not about trying to find ways to punish individual lawyers .... It's about institutional compliance."
- Thank you to the person (perhaps @danielsuitor.com?) who made public the transcript from yesterday's hearing in front of Judge Blackwell. Here's a link to it:

View full threadKira Kelley: The court needs to focus on DHS & ICE rather than the DOJ lawyers who come into court representing those agencies Are DHS & ICE "making it impossible for counsel to comply?" "counsel for respondents [i.e., DHS & ICE] don't have the power to get their clients under control."
- Most DHS arrests result from indiscriminate sweeps, despite its claim to engage in "targeted operations"

- Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.
- Hell yeah, Molly’s right. Let’s grab beers and enjoy the wonders of an empty Target Field.

- in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits
- much depends on legislative language but if you want to put some sand in the gears of ICE this is what it would look like

- Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- These vast new prison camps would allow for the detention of 80,000 more migrants, more than doubling Trump/Miller's capacity for deportations. Yet resistance is breaking out in red Virginia, reddish parts of New Jersey, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Utah, and more. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- This passed unnoticed: New Pew poll finds 64% oppose mass detention of migrants while their cases are decided. That directly repudiates MAGA. Trumpism treats the release of migrants awaiting hearings as a mortal blow to the nation. The broader public does not. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- Vast camps are central to Trumpism. Stephen Miller has long been very excited about them. Backlash is another sign that opposition to Trump/Miller runs deeper than revulsion at ICE. There's real resistance to the whole ideological project of mass deportations. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- Pew finds 60% oppose pausing visas and 66% oppose nixing asylum! People overinterpreted 2024 as a seismic shift to Trump on immigration. But the data is showing very broad opposition to the restrictionist, ethnonationalist, anti-humanitarian aspects of Trumpism. 5/5 newrepublic.com/article/2060...
