Lawyers are getting targeted for handling issues the fascist administration disagree with.
Lawyer for U-M protester detained at airport after spring break trip with family
"We have an obligation as lawyers to stand up to this stuff," Makled said.
Oh great, the Supreme Court responded to the Trump administration's request to delay Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return and the Supreme Court just ruled today that he doesn't have to be returned yet.
Lawyers in the case have 24hours to submit additional arguments to the SCOTUS.
Also, these reporters need to stop saying people were "mistakenly" deported, absolutely journalist malpractice.

John Roberts blocked a district court order demanding Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned to the US by midnight. Suri Crowe responds:
“Roberts is grossly corrupt. I cannot … an innocent man is in a death camp and Roberts pauses his return?!”
Not to be forgotten: Roberts is a "pro-life" Catholic.

Marisa Kabas wrote about a #HandsOff protest with a very specific message in the small conservative town Sackets Harbor. Of about 1300 residents, apx 1000 came out to protest against the unlawful detainment/disappearance of a hardworking mother & her three children. All of whom were going through the proper procedures to become legal immigrants.

"This proves that the Trump administration is carrying out its cruelty campaign indiscriminately—if you’re a South American immigrant with tattoos, you could find yourself in Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s infamous megaprison with a shaved head and without a day in court."

"The news program reported that they 'could not find criminal records for 75 percent of the Venezuelans—179 men—now sitting in prison.' Less than a quarter have an arrest record in the U.S., and they are mostly for nonviolent offenses."

"The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they’re all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75 percent of them."

"Stunning find -glimpse at the DEATH STAR SCALE of "MASS DEPORTATION" spending foreseen in the RECO bill moving thru Con-.

MD House of DELs: passed a bill Mon restricting #ICE officials from entering sensitive locs w/o a warrant, a move aimed at bolstering protections for IMG communities amid heightened fed enfor efforts.
Leg: heads to Gov Moore’s desk for his signature. If signed into law, it'd mark a significant step in MC’s efforts to limit coop with fed IMG authorities, reflecting a broader push by IMG advocates to shield vulnerable pops.
Good for MD, but instates...

Abrego García has been detained at #CECOT, a mega-prison in #ElSalvador, since #ICE deported him last month, despite a court order forbidding it because he had fled death threats from gang members in his home country. #Trump officials have argued that they have no power to return Abrego García because he is now in the custody of El Salvador. [even though the US is paying El Salvador to incarcerate him & others there]
