At the end of May, the Justice Department deleted thousands of press releases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection and other matter.

This is the record DOJ is trying to delete, from @TylerMcBrien, Michael Feinberg, and Benjamin Wittes.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son has been secretly working as a political appointee attorney at the U.S. Treasury Department, raising serious conflict of interest questions as high-stakes cases involving the agency have made their way to the nation's highest court, according to a report.

[Eric Tucker @etuckerAP]

It is disgraceful that Congress has failed to check DOJ’s abuses of judicial processes!

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

-ICE detains someone
-The person sues, says their detention is illegal
-DOJ says "We have no counterargument"
-Judge orders release.

Although Judge Schilitz has now cancelled the contempt hearing for ICE director Lyons, he notes that ICE has violated 96 orders in 74 cases in the District of MN *this month*—likely more “than some agencies have violated in their entire existence.” ...

This Jan. 6 more than ever, the U.S. needs lawyers to step up with public voices - neither partisan nor political - for the sake of democracy itself.
