Entering/being in the U.S. w/out legal status is not a criminal offense. It's a civil offense - and only because our government is inept and can't put together a smart, reasonable, & humane Immigration Bill.
Remember "a pathway to citizenship"?
Instead we got the fucking ICEgestapo.

TLDR: SCOTUS rules, 6-3, that racial gerrymandering is totally okay when Republicans do it. And if a district court suggests otherwise, they were dumb and too mean to Republicans (specifically “not presuming their good faith”).

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

We know that every accusation from republicans is a confession.
We should read every republican claim of fixing things as an admission that they’re breaking things.
