- Reposted by Rachel EggersIn the wake of the horrific ICE killings in Minnesota, many prominent Democrats have called for ICE to wear body cameras.

- Reposted by Rachel EggersOne of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!
- Reposted by Rachel EggersRob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

- Reposted by Rachel EggersAll day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
- As a treat I would like to watch The Daily Show’s coverage of the time Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face with birdshot during a quail hunt. What a time it was to be alive. P.S.: Cheney was a war criminal who should have been held accountable rather than getting free hearts all over the place
