A month after he participated in a protest against ICE, the FBI came to the door of Afghanistan War veteran Bajun Mavalwalla II and arrested him for "conspiracy."

What he said!

Stephen Miller’s control over law enforcement must stop. Vengeful people filled with hate can’t control law enforcement. It’s like entrusting a five year-old with a loaded shotgun. It’s horrific for our nation, and will dismantle any trust in law enforcement for the future. We need respect for all.

This decision is incredibly significant for federal employees. That an appellate court actually said this out loud is incredible and really shows the public how horrific this Administration has been with respect to destroying the rule of law and the surrounding protections.

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · Jun 3

Trump has so paralyzed the federal agencies responsible for protecting civil servants’ rights that federal employees may now be able to win relief directly from courts instead, the 4th Circuit rules. A very good decision for the independent civil service. knightcolumbia.org/documents/9m...

Because Congress intended for the Civil Service
Reform Act to strip district courts of jurisdiction only if federal employees were otherwise
able to receive adequate and independent review of their claims, we vacate and remand to
the district court to consider whether the text, structure, and purpose of the Civil Service
Reform Act has been so undermined that the jurisdiction stripping scheme no longer
