I took my son for a walk this morning. Beautiful, peaceful, safe. In Ukraine, parents have to worry about Russian drones targeting their children The only difference between us is where we were born. We should be helping Ukraine defeat Putin. Instead, Trump is giving Russia another lifeline.

Trump's war.
According to a Pentagon Inspector General report released in September 2026 (covering April 1 to June 30, 2026):

Iranian strikes hit 16 U.S. military bases across the Middle East

Hundreds of buildings and structures were damaged or destroyed at U.S. bases across 8 countries: Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan

The US 5th Fleet Naval base in Bahrain was rendered inoperable (Navy Secretary Hung Cao stated Iran "blew the hell" out of the base)

Tower 22, a U.S. military outpost on the northern Jordanian border with Syria, was struck

Over 217 structures and 11 pieces of equipment were damaged or destroyed at U.S. facilities according to one analysis

59 aircraft were damaged or destroyed, including at least 30 MQ-9 Reaper drones

Damage to U.S. diplomatic facilities alone cost approximately $184 million

The report indicated that some bases suffered "irreparable damage" and would require years or even decades to rebuild if the U.S. chooses to do so.

An obvious case of corprate lawyers at major media deciding that the truth is too dangerous and must be softened. The issue is NOT that a single Democratic Senator stated that Hegseth is hiding the true cost of the war in Iran. The REAL story is simply that Hegseth is hiding the truth.

Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)
On September 9, 2026, Respondents permitted Pablo F. to exit the building where 
he was detained, but he was immediately swarmed by four ICE officers and handcuffed as 
soon as he stepped outside. (Doc. No. 25-3 at 4:48:45–4:49:26.)3
 The officers drove him
to the back of the Whipple building and returned him to a holding cell. (Doc. No. 21 ¶¶ 8–
9; Doc. No. 25 ¶ 5.) During this encounter, officers dislocated Pablo F.’s shoulder. (Doc. 
No. 21 ¶ 7.)4
 Pablo F. now bringsthis Motion seeking to enforce the Court’s Order granting 
the Petition.Again, Respondents make no attempt whatsoever to support their assertion that 
Pablo F. was released. Absent any such argument, the Court cannot agree that a reasonable 
person would have felt free to leave when exiting the detention facility and immediately 
being stopped by ICE officers. Likewise, absent some argument, the Court necessarily 
concludes that Pablo F. was subject to restraints not shared by the public generally when 
he took one step outside of the detention facility and was immediately stopped by ICE 
officers who forcibly returned him to a detention cell. Because Respondents do not make 
any legal argument that Pablo F. was ever meaningfully released from custody, the Court 
grants the motion and orders Pablo F.’s release.6
6 To be clear, Pablo F. is not arguing, and the Court is not concluding, that an order of 
release in a habeas matter renders unlawful any future arrests. Rather, the Court reaches 
the narrow conclusion that because Respondents advance no legal argument in this case to 
support their assertion that Pablo F. was released from custody, and because the 
uncontested facts show that ICE officers immediately swarmed Pablo F. as soon as he 
stepped out of the building, Pablo F. was not released from custody.
