This is appalling. Again, Trump and ICE have had the option to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica for weeks and weeks. They won't explain why they refuse to do this. But we know why: Because they've decided it isn't dehumanizing or cruel enough.

Shocked to learn that despite 1,000 op-eds about how they are now a workers' party, Republicans are doing what they always do when they're in power
We have $ for a dozen ICE agents to hang around for hours trying to arrest 2 roofers working in MN.
Meanwhile, the agency that investigates and prosecutes violations of Americans' right to organize is shedding staff again. Now down to like 1 agency staff per 145,000 workers.

I mean this is literally Bovino just saying that if you're not white prepare to get harassed by ICE and CBP
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

It is revisionist history to say anything other than Trump’s coalition was built on old fashioned American racism.
He opened with “They’re not sending their best,” progressed to “shit hole countries,” and now we have pogroms in our cities.
Some may have held their nose, but they did vote for this.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, stays the district court injunction that had blocked the Trump admin's anti-trans military ban.
The Supreme Court has already stayed another injunction, and this injunction had been "administratively" stayed since March, so there is no practical change today.
