Louisiana paroled nine prisoners to deport them.
We found that at least two have been deported, while two others are being held at a new immigration detention facility.
But neither ICE nor the Landry admin would answer questions about the other five.

Louisiana Made It Nearly Impossible to Get Parole. Now It’s Releasing Prisoners to Deport Them.

👇🎯 And again, in the meantime, until we get this type of major structural reform sorted out:

This could probably be done with simple legislation. Article 3 says almost nothing about how the Supreme Court operates. It mentions that a chief justice will exist, but that’s about it. There are essentially no constitutional rules about how they hear or decide cases.
I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
