What is outrageous about this, among many other things, is that makes relief turn on whose loved ones have the resources to hire or luck or network to get a lawyer to file for habeas. If you don't know to file or can't, even "we have no opposition" cases lead to continued detention.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

i do think the combination of Trump and an AI-driven tech bubble could crash the markets, but it’s very important to remember that “what are online leftists saying?” is probably the worst possible way to approach investing
My kiddo has been asking to hear “This Land is Your Land,” the Woody Guthrie version, during bedtime.
