A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

This guy wanted to charge the ICE cop who blindly fired his gun into a house with a child inside, then lied to justify the shooting. DHS also tried to deport a witness, and publicly slandered the man who was shot. Trump's people blocked the prosecution, then fired the prosecutor for going public.
