The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs. So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

The government is very deliberately NOT trying to deport Mr. Abrego Garcia. Since August, he has been asking them to deport him to Costa Rica, yet the Trump admin keeps refusing to do it (and lying about why) because they want to send him to Africa to punish him. Here's how Judge Xinis summed it up.

Respondents serially “notified” Abrego Garcia—while he sat in ICE custody—of his
expulsion to Uganda, then Eswatini, then Ghana; but none of these countries were ever viable
options, and at least two had not even been asked to take Abrego Garcia before Respondents
claimed supposed removal to each. See ECF No. 52 at 28:10–13 (Schultz confirming the “United
States has not had a discussion with Eswatini regarding Abrego Garcia”). See also ECF No. 52 at
32:18–19 (Schultz stating the notice of removal identifying Ghana was “prematurely sent” to
Abrego Garcia).
At the same time, Respondents did not take any steps to remove Abrego Garcia to the
country which had offered to take him, Costa Rica. This inexplicable reluctance seemed at odds
with continued detention for purposes of third-country removal. So the Court asked repeatedly
during oral arguments to address the disconnect. ECF No. 48 at 37:24–38:17; ECF No. 52 at
205:11–207:13; ECF No. 107 at 124:1–125:12; and twice compelled testimony to that effect, ECF
Nos. 47 & 90. These orders were ignored without justification.

Respondents instead found a fourth African country, Liberia. This time, when the Court
sought information about Liberia and Costa Rica so to fairly assess the validity of Abrego Garcia’s
claims, Respondents did not just stonewall. They affirmatively misled the tribunal. They
announced that Liberia is the only viable removal option because Costa Rica “does not wish to
receive him,” ECF No. 85 at 9, and that Costa Rica will no longer “accept the transfer” of him,
ECF No. 75-6 ¶ 5; ECF No. 85 at 14.
But Costa Rica had never wavered in its commitment to receive Abrego Garcia, just as
Abrego Garcia never wavered in his commitment to resettle there. See ECF No. 108 at 1; Maria
Sacchetti, Costa Rica says it would accept Kilmar Abrego García, contradicting U.S., WASH.
POST (Nov. 21, 2025), https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/11/21/kilmartrumpdeport-costarica/. See also Laura Romero, Costa Rican official says country willing to
accept Abrego Garcia, contradicting Trump administration officials, ABC NEWS (Nov. 21,
2025), https://abcnews.go.com/International/costa-rican-official-country-accept-abrego-garciacontradicting/story?id=127775855. This evidently remained an inconvenient truth for
Respondents. But more to the point, Respondents’ persistent refusal to acknowledge Costa Rica
as a viable removal option, their threats to send Abrego Garcia to African countries that never
agreed to take him, and their misrepresentation to the Court that Liberia is now the only country
available to Abrego Garcia, all reflect that whatever purpose was behind his detention, it was not
for the “basic purpose” of timely third-country removal. Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 697.
