In Abrego's civil case, govt suddenly claimed on 11/7 that Costa Rica, where Abrego was willing to go, will no longer take him. Only Liberia. It cited a sealed affidavit by an ICE official. Just now, Judge Xinis strikes that affidavit unless the official will testify Thursday.

I'm as flabbergasted as Dean on this one. Unfuckingreal. First off, it's illegal but more than that, some children never get over such abuse. Some adults never get over it even with therapy. WTF is going on in this country?

this has been the playbook for the human trafficking moral panic for years. big announcements, big shows of force, resulting in zero or near zero charges.
the whole thing is built on the media’s willingness to report cop’s statements as facts without real sourcing.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.
