The judge said he was lifting the emergency order he issued the day of Pretti’s shooting barring various federal investigatory offices from destroying or altering any evidence related to the incident because he had gotten assurances from federal officials that evidence would be properly maintained.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.
But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

I think if you want to mark the moment for Labour’s series of problems in Government, it stems from the moment when Sue Gray was sacked in preference for Morgan McSweeney. Winning an internal or general vote is not the same as governing.
