This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

Hearn's case presents "exceptional" circumstances. He "faces the unique possibility that the govt will revive this case—one that it has already announced to be meritless—based on political pressure brought by the President of the United States on his subordinate officers."

While all defendants deal with
some degree of uncertainty regarding the odds of re-prosecution after a case has been
dismissed, Mr. Hearn faces the unique possibility that the government will revive this case - one that it has already announced to be meritless - based on political pressure
brought by the President of the United States upon his subordinate officers.

"Dismissal without prejudice would endanger Mr. Hearn in a manner that few, if any, Superior Court defendants have faced ... exposing him to the risk that, due to pressure from POTUS, ... he would again be charged with a crime prosecutors have determined he did not commit."

Dismissal without prejudice thus would endanger Mr. Hearn in a manner that few,
if any, Superior Court defendants have faced. Should the Court dismiss this case in a fashion that allows the government to reinitiate prosecution in the future, the Court would be exposing him to the risk that, due to pressure from the President of the United States
apparently motivated at least in part by Mr. Hearn's political views, he would again be
charged with a crime that prosecutors have determined he did not commit. These risks must weigh heavily in the assessment of whether to dismiss this case without prejudice.
