Wells: "Take the president at his word, when it has been unfiltered by his lawyers."

Trump's orders are unthethered by reality, Wells says, echoing the words of the federal judge presiding over the Oregon case.

Thank you though - I needed to be more clear of my interpretation of his bio from Laura's piece. Deleted to avoid confusion!

I am going to take this down - I clarified in later post - standby!

I clarified - his bio said he was born to immigrants from guyana - so was unclear (I don't care either..!)

I reported on the Governor's targeting of DMPS a couple years ago so that is real insider baseball. She's a menace.

This is what is on IPR - and that is a quote from an ICE website - not his own bio. And, I concur re: why held - that and Reynolds has been after DMPS for years now.

Fucking furious

Progress Iowa Executive Director & DMPS parent Mazie Stilwell: “No Iowan is safe. We’re living under a fascist regime because Nunn, Miller-Meeks, Hinson and every single Iowa Member of Congress has been in lockstep with the MAGA administration that is terrorizing our communities"

More from Mazie Stilwell: "President Trump is willing to use political power against anyone who disagrees with him. While the details of Dr. Roberts’ detainment have yet to be released, we cannot let him, or anyone in America, be detained without due process."

Ambiguous is maybe the better word. People are reading that wording to mean he was born here and that this is merely a case like Brad Lander being detained for interfering with ICE kidnapping. If ICE plan to deport him its a way bigger deal. bsky.app/profile/andy...
