Out of ~60,000 Somalis in Minnesota, 85 (.01%) have been criminally indicted
Out of ~4000 people in the Trump regime, 215 (5.4%) have been criminally indicted.
Thats a ~40X higher crime rate
Not qwhite sure why the people who ignore Trump indictments want you to be upset about Somali indictments🤔

14% of MAGA now admit regretting their vote. 'ThePatrioticBlonde' was a loud fan. Now, she admits she was wrong.
Now? A grudging apology doesn't excuse her behavior. But ex-MAGA like this will be important.
Our best strategy is to allow them back. They influence others.

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not.
But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.

"Today’s ruling is a powerful affirmation that the rule of law still matters," Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "The Court made … clear that the govt cannot detain a person indefinitely without legal authority, and that every agency involved must now comply fully and promptly with the Court’s directives."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released from ICE custody following judge's order
Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Trump administration lacked the legal authority to continue holding Abrego.
