Evan @evanontheweb.net · 27/04/2025Honest question: at what point is a judge going to say “the US government cannot be trusted to respect the rights of those in its custody” and halt ALL deportations until they are validated by a judge? Is that even a possibility? It’s not perfect, but it might be better. 000
