Good family attorneys sue fed officials/agents under the KKK Act. Attorney Ben Berkman: "Renee's death was the predictable result of a coordinated campaign by senior administration officials, a campaign to silence Somali and Hispanic Minnesotans and to silence anyone who dared to raise their voice."

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.

Witnesses at the execution chamber in Nashville said Christa Pike, who was convicted of murder, was still awake and snoring loudly about 40 minutes after officials administered two doses of the lethal drug pentobarbital.

“I am not afraid to die. I’m only nervous about the process.” Just an unbelievable failure of governing and the legal system and basic decency.
Before learning Monday that Lee would not be intervening in her case, Pike wrote in a letter to NBC News, shared by her spiritual adviser:
"Whether my clemency is granted or not, l am at peace."
"I am not afraid to die," wrote Pike, who has been on death row for more than three decades. "I'm only nervous about the process."
