To be clear, the DHS's official position is that if one of their officers shoots a person in the street, the victim should be publicly named on Fox News by official DHS spokespeople and investigations into the victim should be started immediately, but the shooter should not be identified in any way?

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

What the voluntary departure forms do is bypass both immigration court proceedings and expedited removal proceedings. No proceedings. Just waived rights.

To be clear, this is not voluntary departure granted by an immigration judge— which itself can be coerced. They didn’t even get a hearing with a judge: just a form from ICE “I-210 Voluntary departure and verification of departure”

Collins "decried the 'gutter-level political campaign' waged against Kavanaugh by 'dark money' and 'special-interest groups' (groups that presumably included Planned Parenthood, the organization that had last given her an award just the previous year), portraying Kavanaugh as the real victim."

One thing I’ve noticed about Princeton is that every time I’ve been there you don’t see men and women talking to each other unless it’s clear they’re spouses or parent-child. No spontaneous interracial conversations either. It’s hard not to think about anything else for a while

The flaw in the Constitution is that it was written at a time when there were many political parties, and the duality that we currently live with did not exist. They were certainly familiar with corruption, but this level of cowardice would have been hard for them to contemplate.

The deployment of National Guard troops into cities has been so normalized that it barely merits a mention in the press or among the public anymore. D.C. remains occupied, Memphis is occupied, so is New Orleans... It's incredible to me.
