ICE is refusing to return personal items to people who've been released, including driver's licenses and passports, proof of immigration status, employment authorization documents, cell phones, wedding rings, cash, and more. This is illegal. The ACLU of DC and ACLU of Illinois are suing.

A post by Qasim Rashid (@qasimrashid) commenting on Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

qasimrashid 1h

Justice Amy Coney Barrett says she "didn't know how to explain to her child that she has to wear a bullet proof vest to work." As a parent myself, here's my suggestion of what to say:

"Mommy is one of the 9 most powerful judges in America, and at every chance to help protect meaningful gun safety legislation, I've chosen the extremely reckless and stupid decision of expanding gun access, even to violent sociopaths, thus putting your and my life in abject danger—but that's the price of freedom."

MS NOW analyzed Trump Justice Department data and found Kash Patel is making false statements about FBI crime stats. The FBI under Patel has brought thousands fewer criminal cases than previous administrations. The findings rebut Patel's claims that he has led a crackdown on violent crime.
ms.now
Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not FBI
An analysis of publicly available data from the Justice Department shows repeated claims made by the FBI director are false or misleading.

In our new report, we document how ICE responds to hunger strikes: isolating people in “segregation units,” transferring strike leaders to other detention centers, and force-feeding through nasal tubes. This leaves many people feeling they have no other option but to resort to this extreme protest.
