New from The Seattle Times and KUOW: Antonio Mays Jr. was capturing on video, speaking about police reform to a crowd of protesters, just three days before he was shot and killed at CHOP in 2020. This is a new data point in the 5-year-old question of who Mays was and what he was doing at CHOP.

Here's a picture that a @kuow.org photographer took in Seattle yesterday, showing the ICE officers masked up in the hallways as they waited to arrest people coming out of their hearings.

ICE agents at Seattle courthouse arrest people whose deportation hearings are dismissed

The photo shows two men in the foreground wearing camo baseball caps and with neck gaiters pulled up to cover everything but their eyes. They are in plain clothes. Three other men are seen in the background, all wearing surgical masks. One has a hoodie entirely up so that only his eyes are visible. All are standing around looking suspiciously cop-like.

The shifting cultural understanding of the Menendez brothers, who were mocked at the time for saying their father abused them, is an interesting synecdoche for the larger threat that treating children as though they have emotional lives and agency presents to the project of the American right.

Text of part of the linked article from the New Bedford Light:

“Roll down the window so we can talk,” another agent insisted, while Méndez’s wife asked if they had an arrest warrant for her or her husband.

The tense standoff took about 30 minutes. The couple were taken from their car after an agent smashed in the rear right window.

“They pulled us out violently. They treated us very harshly,” Méndez’s wife recalled through tears.

The Justice Department’s latest filings make it abundantly clear that it is creating a black site for migrants in El Salvador that’s worse than Gitmo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

So, here, in short, is what the Justice Department is offering the federal judiciary as a constitutionally sound option for migrants who say they face illegal deportation to El Salvador.
These migrants have no right to contest their classification as gang members. They have no right to challenge the president's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act or secure a classwide
restraining order against it. Their access to the courts is limited to an individual habeas petition in their district of confinement, which cannot practically address their grievances. Moreover, the government has no obligation to give migrants time-even just a few hours-to file a habeas petition or access to a lawyer or interpreter who could help. The government may, instead, whisk them away to El Salvador with no advance notice. And as soon as they are delivered to CECOT, they can no longer file a habeas petition, because they are out of U.S. custody.
