BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released. "The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED." "Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
FILED
January 31, 2026
CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Jaemie Herndon
DEPUTY
ADRIAN CONEJO ARIAS, and
L.C.R., a Minor Child by and through His Parent and Guardian Adrian Conejo Arias,
Petitioners,
VS.
KRISTI NOEM, in Her Official Capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security; PAMELA BONDI, in Her Official Capacity as Attorney General of the United States; TODD LYONS, in His Official Capacity as Acting Director, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement;
DAREN MARGOLIN, in His Official Capacity as Acting Director of the Executive Office of Immigration Review; and JOHN DOE, in His Official Capacity as the Warden of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Dilley, Texas,
Respondents.
CIVIL CASE NO. SA-26-CV-415-FB
§
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE COURTCivics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The
Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this
administration's detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R. The Great Writ
and release from detention are GRANTED pursuant to the attached Judgment.
Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled
power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And
the rule of law be damned.Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
SIGNED this 31st day of February [sic], 2026.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read. The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message. www.instagram.com/p/DRcyNEdkhPs/
Graphic showing the trophy celebrations from the USL League One and USL Championship trophy celebrations with the words: Two Finals. Two Leagues. Two Very Different Endings. Photo of the USL League One Final celebration trophy lift by One Knox with the stage saying CHAMPIONS in big text and confetti in full view The USL Championship trophy lift with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds with noticeably no USL Champion signage or confetti anywhere From @us|players: 

Two finals. Two leagues. Two totally different endings.

Last week, League One got the full trophy moment - stage, confetti, everything. This week, the Championship winners got none of it... even though all the ceremony materials were bought and ready on-site.

The league canceled the celebration because players wore shirts calling for better standards. A quiet, united stand - met with silence.

But canceling the moment doesn't cancel the message. It proves it.

People want to deport migrants who are 'faceless', but once they see the actual humans ("A nurse in the ICU", "A single mother who cooks at this beloved local restaurant", "A construction worker with two children born in the U.S., whatever), they're like, "Oh, yeah. That person should stay!"
