Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

Even if Petersburg Sullivan's campaign was the most disingenuous underhanded thing ever to befall democracy, that is a non-justiciable political question.The legitimacy of the State's Perry Masonry, however, is a 100% justiciable legal question, and not one that will be answered well for the state.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.
"It was scary, because I had never had a gun in my face," Fisher said. "They asked my name and my date of birth and asked me, did I have any warrants? And I told them, 'No, 'Ididn't."
Fisher said she was handcuffed before being released around 3 a.m., and she was told that if anyone had any kind of warrant out for them, even if it was unrelated to immigration, they would not be released.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers seek permission to file an amended complaint in his civil case in Maryland. Among other things, the amended complaint “includes Abrego Garcia's first-hand account of torture and mistreatment at CECOT…”
Case 8:25-cv-00951-PX
Document 211
Filed 07/02/25 Page 2 of 5
3. The proposed Amended Complaint details the Government's defiance of court
orders after this Court granted preliminary injunctive relief. The Amended Complaint includes
allegations that the Government made decisions to defy judicial mandates. These allegations are
new to the Complaint, but have been cited in various filings in this Court as the case has developed.
They are directly relevant to Plaintiffs' constitutional claims and outstanding requests for
declaratory and prospective injunctive relief.
4. Plaintiffs also seek to incorporate evidence that emerged in a June 2025
whistleblower disclosure from former DOJ official Erez Reuveni, who was previously counsel for
the Government in this case. The new allegations include government officials internally
acknowledging that Abrego Garcia's removal was an "administrative error" while simultaneously
working to prevent his return and to make post-hoc justifications. These revelations provide
evidence of deliberate misconduct that was unavailable when the original Complaint was filed and
directly support Plaintiffs' claims.
5. The proposed Amended Complaint also Includes Abrego Garcia's first-hand
account of torture and mistreatment at CECOT, as well as developments regarding his return to the United States and the Government's stated plan to remove him again. These allegations identify
the severe harm actually suffered and the threat of repeated unlawful removal that supports
Plaintiffs' request for prospective injunctive relief. The inclusion of these facts, which could not
have been pleaded at the time of the original filing, is essential to present a complete picture of the
violations and ensure adequate relief.
6. Plaintiffs also propose to clarify that the relief sought includes restoring the status
quo ante, which requires (among other things) the Government to return Abrego Garcia to

communications team, your note made its way to me and thank you for reaching out. As The Times's story makes clear, multiple people familiar with Apple's production facilities is China have put forward their observations on the workforce there.
Our reporting does not make racial or genetic generalizations, but simply cites experts who have experience with the industrial process in U.S. and Chinese factories.
I can also point you to the comments of Patrick McGee, the author of the new book "Apple In China" , on a recent podcast appearance said: "The tasks that often are being done to make iPhones require little fingers. The fact that it's young Chinese women with little fingers like that actually matters. Apple engineers will talk about this."

Holy crap. The D.V.D. litigators say the planned flight to Libya was going to be for Southeast Asian nationals!
INTRODUCTION
Plaintiffs seek an emergency order enjoining class members from being removed to
Libya (and any country en route to Libya, including Saudi Arabia) and any other third country until Defendants demonstrate they have complied with this Court' Preliminary Injunction, Dkts.
64 and 86, ensuring meaningful notice and an opportunity to apply for protection under the
United Nations Convention Against Torture (CAT) as to Libya and any other third country.
Late last night and earlier this morning, alarming reports from class members' counsel
and from the press emerged announcing the imminent removal of, inter alia, Laotian,
Vietnamese, and Philippine class members being prepared for removal to Libya, a county
notorious for its human rights violations, especially with respect to migrant residents. Class members were being scheduled for removal despite not receiving the required notice and opportunity to apply for CAT protection. See Exhibit A (media reports); Exhibit F (imminent flight plan report). This motion should not even be required as it blatantly defies this Court's
preliminary injunctions to remove class members without proper notice, a reasonable fear
screening, and a 15-day opportunity to submit a motion to reopen after any negative reasonable fear determination. However, multiple credible sources report that flight/s are preparing to immediately depart the United States carrying class members for removal to Libya.
