The message: If you oppose people kidnapping your neighbors and disappearing them in concentration camps, you might get sent to prison for the rest of your life. The Constitution is nothing but a set of suggestions.
DFW Support CommitteeJudge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

“The left has abandoned patriotism.” This was outside Delaney Hall, right before ICE RAN HER OVER with a car.

A couple of courthouse clerks in Utah are accused of helping immigrants evade ICE officers. After allegedly doing this, they "were spotted on a surveillance camera waving and smiling at it," with one using "her middle finger in an obscene gesture at the camera.” www.sltrib.com/news/2026/06...

Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

Subway Takes guy: what's your take Dr. Mahmood Mamdani: The nation made the immigrant a settler and the settler a perpetrator. The nation made the local a native and the native a perpetrator, too. Once we learn this history, we might prefer to be survivors instead. Subway Takes guy: 100% disagree

You may have read about the woman who gave birth in a Brooklyn courtroom Friday night while waiting to be arraigned. I spoke to an attorney who saw the whole thing, and says it was much worse than has previously been reported, a scene of "complete violence." hellgatenyc.com/birth-in-bro...

If you're mad at this (and you should be): Tomorrow at 1pm 120 Schermerhorn in BK Rally to demand accountability from the absolute ghouls in our courts.
NYC for Abortion RightsOn Fri night, Brooklyn court staff forced a woman to give birth inside the courtroom. Per public defenders, she gave birth in handcuffs, unable to reposition herself, unable to pick up her infant. The men who’d shackled her looked on. The judge lauded the birth of a ‘beautiful baby’ on the record.

ICE flights. Wednesday, May 13, 2026. (Yes, that is a Myanmar deportation. Those people were very likely tortured on arrival.)

These cases expose just how bizarre it is to have an immigration system that effectively falls outside of the criminal + civil legal systems. The criminal system has already dealt with these charges, yet our "non-punitive" immigration system can be weaponized to harm them years later.
Aaron Reichlin-MelnickI post this not to in any way morally justify her detention. In fact, under previous admins, she likely never would have been detained as CBP would likely have decided just to issue a Notice to Appear and sent her on her way. But, systemically, this is 100% legal and we need to grapple with that.
