To all those who say we should forget impeachment and focus on getting the courts to stop the vile abuses of executive power: Have a look at this ⬇️. Impeachment and removal are necessary first steps in restoring our constitutional rights.

Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
After public backlash, the Trump administration changed its tactics from ‘siege’ to ‘soft feet’. Now, ICE is everywhere

Wrong. At least a hundred deportation flights were stopped, and there is no guarantee they’ll start them again. They already did one layoff a few weeks ago, the buyer could just as likely sell the planes for parts and shit the whole thing down for good.

I think the headline's misleading, Gillian: They stopped nothing; they just forced one scumbag owner of scumbag Omni Air to sell it to another scumbag owner. Change of ownership means nothing: Omni Air will keep hauling ICE detainees to third nation

What's next for Omni? No idea. First, I need to find out who bought them (leak to me on proton or signal). Yes, they could start ICE flights again tomorrow. But they didn't do them for months. That's dozens of charter trips, 100+ removal stops, thousands of migrants who DIDN'T get forced onboard.

This is a BFD - one of the charter airlines doing ICE flights has been sold off, thanks to pressure from smart folks with spines. Raise a glass to the financial misfortune of those who’ve been profiting off of ICE’s detention apparatus; may they not be the last.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

ICE removal flights have been at least temporarily halted after an appeals court ruling finding them illegal. But the Supreme Court has revived the flights twice using the shadow docket, and could do so again once the Trump administration appeals to them. @gillianbrockell.com reports.

When a desperate, sweaty Trump is demanding that everyone "FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS," that's a pretty good sign that you should, in fact, boycott American airliners. Stop flying till Congress sends Trump packing.

I mean, that's pretty much what everyone is doing to flights into the U.S. (which have suddenly inexplicably become far cheaper) because no one wants to fly to that crazy country and then get stuck at the border, or get in, then get deported to a random country, or something.

Increasingly clearly, high officials describe Donald Trump’s efforts to wage war on the United States—without expressly naming his acts with the appropriate Constitutional term: It’s treason.
Donald Trump, speaking as Commander in Chief, has called for a war on U.S. cities. As President, he has directed his Attorney General and his Secretary of Homeland Security to take action against "sanctuary" jurisdictions. His Secretary of Homeland Security has assembled a paramilitary force and dispatched that force to terrorize U.S. cities, disrupt the services of their sovereign state governments, and suppress the legitimate dissent of their people. Nearly half of our state governments warn these efforts threaten to unravel the fabric of our Union. His Attorney General has offered to end this campaign of force should a sovereign state surrender voter rolls which our courts have established Donald Trump has no legal right to demand. More than a quarter of our Senate chamber already understands this demand for what it is: an attempt to achieve via force of arms a result Donald Trump has failed to secure in court.

Let's keep making the people facilitating ethnic cleans—uh, "irregular operations"—uncomfortable.
Screenshot from Dallas Morning News article reads: "The records also show Signature Aviation asked Dallas aviation department officials to approve black mesh being installed along fencing beside a public observation area, saying it wanted greater privacy and sought to “prevent further media scrutiny.” A senior city aviation official separately asked in a later email that the operations be conducted “more discreetly” away from the observation area."
