In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

I was wrong. They went with "buffoons."
defending Trump, the White House said news outlets had misunderstood and misrepresented the president's comments in what amounted to a "media freakout." A White House media post singled out an L.A. Times post that said
Trump suggested "letting Iran take out" L.A. and San Diego. "No, he didn't, you buffoons," said the White House. "He was saying the U.S. is fighting to STOP Iran from having the ability to take out LA and San Diego with
a nuclear weapon - which they would if they had the chance."

Moreover, as for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U. S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Makes sense that this would be the legacy of Erik Kurilla, the recently departed CENTCOM commander who lashed CENTCOM up with Israel to an unprecedented degree—the whole second half of his career was about mowing the grass in a CT context in Iraq and Afghanistan

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2026
KLA is closely monitoring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity affecting agricultural communities in southwest Kansas and worked with livestock organizations in neighboring states to communicate the impacts of these actions to federal officials.
In a joint statement released yesterday (9/24), KLA, the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association said that while respecting the responsibility of federal agencies to enforce the law, the livestock industry and other rural businesses depend on a stable workforce to care for animals and keep supply chains operating. The sudden workforce disruptions caused by ICE has led to numerous chokepoints in the system. Reports have included thousands of fed cattle delayed in shipping to processors, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs. Workforce disruptions also have affected feedyards, dairies, processors, feed and grain businesses, transportation and other critical services in rura communities.
The livestock associations have urged federal officials to quickly conduct enforcement actions in a lawful, targeted and transparent manner, while respecting due process and communicating clearly with affected employers and communities. KLA will continue to communicate members concerns on this issue.
