- 2026: The concentration camps don't INTEND to kill the (illegally detained) prisoners. The deaths are merely a by-product of neglect, rampant disease, inhumane conditions, refusal to provide medical care, beatings, retribution, and transfer to foreign torture prisons and third world war zones.
- I don't like dealing with Civ Pro in real life. Why would you make me play The Most Stressful Part of Being A Lawyer The Game?

- Ah come on. Back on the streets already? They at least deserve a little vacation for doing exactly what the administration wanted them to do.

- Reposted by LegalEagleAbolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
- Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.
- We owe it to the brave people of Minnesota to not let their sacrifices be in vain.
- This was merely a Kavanaugh shooting.
- Also, ICE shouldn't have firearms at all in this context! They are a civil/regulatory enforcement agency. When they are doing domestic immigration enforcement, they don't even enforce criminal law!
- In a just world, the fact that *multiple agents* have their guns drawn at all in this scenario would be automatic grounds for a homicide conviction.
- My take on what is clearly murder: a bunch of insufficiently-trained ICE agents dog-pile — and subdue — the victim with multiple guns drawn (why were the guns out?!). One of agents accidentally discharges his improperly-drawn gun, spooks the rest, and then they all unload in to the unarmed victim.
- I really glad I have a YouTube channel because sometimes it really gives me a place to vent my rage: youtu.be/MGr-yWEu0hc
- My god. The memo cites one case...which stands for the proposition that YOU DO NEED A WARRANT!
- This is insane. INSANE. Without any legal basis at all, this memo says ICE doesn't need a warrant (or probable cause) to break into someone's home to arrest them. It's like a memo that says, "Actually, you DON'T have the right to remain silent."
- Reminder: it would be trivially easy for a mere handful of Republicans to stop all of this.
- I've heavily resisted Nazi or Hitler analogies. But Trump has recently: -Demanded “lebensraum” of Greenland -Blamed minorities for every problem in America -Used secret police to funnel said minorities into concentration camps* -Promoted white supremacy -Declared the press the enemy of the people

- There is a lot to hate these days. But the community response is inspiring. Shine a light; buy a bullhorn.
- This is a totally reasonable thing to think! And not to pick on you, but I think it's wrong. Class actions require that it would be impractical for the victims to file individual suits, often bc the dollar amounts are so small. So if the pizza place stole $2 from everyone, better that they pay out.
- Let's pump the brakes on ICE and investigate these bad apples. 😉
- I'm just a lawyer, but I feel like there are some threshold jurisdictional questions here.
- Always the bridesmaid and never the bride of having your president kidnapped and renditioned to stand trial in another country…
- “What do you mean ‘What did we do to Venezuela?’”
- No, MORE wars!

- Reposted by LegalEagleMarco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
- Happy New Year. In 2026, I hope everyone gets what they deserve.
