Is there a good reason why people who are charged with what i assume is criminal damage have been kept on remand for more than 18 months? To say “that seems excessive” is a significant understatement.

No verified death toll in Iran - but a government official telling Reuters it is 2,000 suggests it will be considerably higher than that. (Times)

What is the death toll from the Iran protests?
Estimates vary greatly but as one government official puts the toll at 2,000, analysts suggest it will be much higher in reality

Honestly if you’re currently unemployed, sounds like ICE standards are so low you could do some good by joining, going through training and then quitting at the most inconvenient time.

I think this is how you win over independents. Not nearly enough people believe in open borders or human rights generally. Lots of people have a basic aversion to living under a ‘papers please’ regime

Political incentives are absolutely fucked; investigating and prosecuting fraud gets you zero credit, what gets attention and support is making racist social media content. Whole system just set up to create the worst possible outcomes.
This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.
Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.
