That law does exist btw, here it is, here it is right here. Here's the part that bars civil arrests, i.e. immigration arrests, of people attending state court proceedings.
It's called the Court Access, Safety, and Participation Act, HB1312 (yes, really).

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social. And PLEASE SHARE it as much as possible.
I’ve sent it to a LOT of politicians.
Spot on!! 🎯
Perhaps the real Tariffs were the allies we lost along the way
NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.
This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.
From me for @rollingstone.com:

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.
Pam Bondi knew.
Kash Patel knew.
Emil Bove knew.
And they made the investigation go away.
A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.
I am totally smitten with the intricate drawings of Japanese artist Shunshun. It’s worth clicking through to see them in detail. [kottke.org]
NEW: Data shows that as of June 15, fully 30% of all people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD.
11,763 people in detention as of last Sunday had no criminal record and were arrested inside the country by ICE -- an increase of 4,000 people in two weeks!
"Reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service..."

Maybe @maddow.msnbc.com will start doing her deep dive reporting on this 🙏🙏🙏 The people we don’t see - or hear from - are the insidious core of this administration @jennycohn.bsky.social Your 🧵s offer a blueprint for rooting them out.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
The NASA planetary science fleet chart. It shows two spirals with missions to Moon/Mars and the Solar System. I’ve crossed off all of the missions that will be cancelled in the president’s budget… and there are a lot of them.
The NASA planetary science fleet chart if the president’s budget is enacted.
NEW: The Trump Administration Knew Most Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Had No U.S. Crime Convictions
changed in hh income from Republican budget bill: more than 380k for the top 0.1%, 20k for the top 95-99%, negative for the first and second quintiles.
now that's a Chart of the Week (from @gelliottmorris.com):
um…
None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.
Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
- I want things to be different - *smashes everything* - oh no
I think about this comic at least once a week
🚨We gotta call bullshit: the SAVE Act makes it harder for rural Americans to vote.
Some could face an 8-HOUR round trip just to register to vote. It's voter suppression, plain and simple.
Call your Senators – tell them to vote NO: (202) 224-3121

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.
Here’s how we did our analysis.
(Published Feb.)
Every decision from this administration is like a doctor saying we are removing this vital organ because it uses blood
Republicans are trying to make it *legal* for the government to abduct, deport (ship off to secret sites, executively do whatever they want) to any citizen or occupant of the United States without due process.
Read that f*cking sentence again, because I don’t think you understand how serious it is!

The grift comes full circle.
Musk took a $465M government loan to build Tesla—now he’s using DOGE to kill off the very office that helped him succeed—because it might help the next innovator, not him.
This isn’t “efficiency.” It’s sabotage!
Once more, the $DJT 8-K:
The old fashioned kind of bribery in plain sight, as opposed to the kind where the Binance address proves it's foreign influence peddling.
We REALLY need to figure out how to talk about this better.
I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points
