so we as a society are now debating whether "unjustified warrantless arrests" are bad
The 66-page ruling Tuesday by Senior U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson of Colorado is a comprehensive rejection of a tactic regularly used by ICE to meet quotas set by the Trump administration. (via @cprnews.bsky.social)
Court demands end to unjustified warrantless arrests, restricting a tool ICE frequently uses to detain immigrants
Unless reversed on appeal, it is likely to place a severe restriction on ICE’s operations in Colorado.

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.
Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

Fascists since Hitler use Schrodinger's Immigrant tactics. Tyrants like Trump rise to power on fear/hate/xenophobia/Otherness/social division; claiming that immigrants BOTH take all the jobs, AND live free off Gov. programs? Trump/Miller hide that immigrants PAY TAXES, and are great for the Economy.
