The Mormon Church has a long history of abuse, but the Mormon people used to have a reputation for honesty and compassion. If I were a devout Mormon, I would be demanding Mike Lee’s removal louder than anyone. He is yet another stain on their faith. The silence speaks volumes.

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants. Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.

Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee, sources briefed on Schrader's decision told ABC News. Schrader's resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said.
Schrader, who spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville and was most recently the chief of the criminal division, declined to comment when contacted by ABC News.

Gee, I wonder what the combination of these two small tidbits could mean. Imprisoned man suddenly comes forward... prosecutor quits. I'm sure no connection at all.

The criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia moved forward when an imprisoned man came forward recently to authorities offering new evidence of his alleged involvement with human trafficking, according to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the investigation.
