Immigration judges should not have absolute immunity. They are DMV's with "judges" who have no real power but that of Administrative rubber stamps. I don't know if people understand that due process is illusory in the IC system. Statelessness, refoulment. Inhumanity.

Sharon, Jessica, E. Jean, Virginia - Wahls needs to answer for his decisions in leadership - Iowa has a chance to flip the Senate. I'm sick of the whataboutism within our own party. Ask the hard questions, clean house Democrats. #iowa #senate We do not enable sexual predators. Or we do, Democrats.

Now's the time to ask whether or not Wahls would: 1. Demand resignation of Eric Swallwell, and if so; 2.How does that square with his single slate election of Nate Boulton - who said the exact same thing as Swallwell when credibly accused of sexual assault - to his leadership team?

Note in December 2025 Israel and the US recognised Somaliland as a State. Just keep that in mind going forward here in the US as we watch how the regime claims Somalia is so safe they can end TPS for current Somalis in USA. Let alone the claim destablising the region further.

According to the NYT’s own reporting (Swan/Haberman), in the situation room he told Trump he thought it was a bad idea “but if you move forward, I will support you.” Doesn’t sound like opposing to me

If I were a member of the US congress, I would be on my way back to the US Capitol. It's not just the Bondi firing - it's the Hegseth firing of the top US Army General. This is controlled chaos. What I mean by that is the chaos is timed by an unfit Trump [Miller] and a bloodthirsty Hegseth.

The things that western media consumers miss of consequence: Trump has warmed relations with Belarus - lifting sanctions, potash/financial. This is deeply concerning and another feather in Putin's cap. We see the Russia/Iran/US engagement clearly. But don't ignore the move toward Belarus.

But what about that FTX crypto bro scandal you brought to the Iowa democrats that they now must pay back $200K? Or why Ro Khanna is backing Turek now? Or the Bolton/accused sex predator issue? Or that crazy text you sent to the caucus after they threw you out?

1/4 The only reason I am sharing a Washington Examiner post is because I've seen the internal documents discussed here. @zachwahls.bsky.social has refused - refused - to address his fist class travel, his elevating a sexual predator, and FTX $770K? Minus the $220K Iowa dems must return.

For example, I am a Czech citizen (via grandparents birth in Czechoslovakia/Bohemia and father) I was required to go through extensive hoops to secure that citizenship. However, by virtue of that citizenship in Czechia I am automatically a citizen of the EU (and a US Citizen)

And what of EU citizenship? Because that is separate and apart - and a whole different animal - than EU member state citizenship. Ask a Brit about losing citizenship overnight re: Brexit.

The fundamental misunderstanding of TFEU/TEU and citizenship, protection from statelessness and imposition of "EU citizenship" and MS citizenship is pretty clear in the way this SCOTUS argument is going. This is an interesting article about this: dspace.library.uu.nl/server/api/c...

This is going to be very interesting re: the right to counsel question and how it is argued because I think it can and should be argued. The upside of the Trumpian nightmare is people are realizing how important international law is and how it operates domestically (codified/customary) in US.

They have never been able to defend actions of ICE which is of course by design. This is the end run around the criminal legal system (because this isn't about justice). This is about terrorising communities.
