The former public defender in me is just popping up to say that this kind of thing doesn’t only happen in ICE cases. This kind of thing happens to criminal defendants, too, and I really need people to keep the same energy heading into jury boxes.
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.
We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

It may in fact be impossible to convince or persuade a person lacking empathy to have or develop empathy for other people. The best outcome may be to forever withhold and obstruct such people from possessing or wielding any kind of power over oneself and others. No changes of heart, only mitigation.
