Judge says immigration officers’ use of force in Chicago ‘shocks the conscience’
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said that officers are using excessive force against protesters and that the Department of Justice’s defense for their actions was “simply not credible.”

Mike Levin is a magician! As I've said a number of times before, if anyone could convince me to be a panpsychist it would be Mike Levin. Here, he's almost convinced me to also become a dualist. What's a mathematician and computationalist to do? 😲
