The Trump administration, from day one, has viewed the basic promise of DUE PROCESS embodied in our Constitution as an obstacle to be crushed, and not a principle to be upheld.

If they could tear up the Constitution to carry out mass deportations, they would do it instantly.

@JoelValdezDOW The Pentagon is one of the largest office buildings in the world, why would you install people who need access to SIPRNet in that space rather than say, the rest of the building’s classified spaces?

So, a shipment of crickets for the lizard arrived via FedEx today. It was my first time ordering bulk crickets off the internet, and I naively assumed that they would be in like, a bag or some other contraption to facilitate easy transfer to another container. They were not.

The dude wasn’t rainwater harvesting from his roof. He was building dams on his property holding up to 40-acre feet of water which he stocked with fish. He continued pursuing this effort for 11 years.

Great reporting by the WSJ.
I gifted this so you can read it.
"Of the 279 people accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year, 181 were U.S. citizens. Close to half of those Americans were never charged with assault. None have been convicted at trial."

A 79-year-old Cuban asylum seeker with worsening dementia, who uses a wheelchair, has been detained in Eloy, AZ for nine months, despite her family's pleas to let them care for her. @TucsonStar https://t.co/7m7cwQKUIk

New: The Trump administration has spent more than $30 million to send migrants to far-flung countries that are not their own, including, in a few instances, paying over $1 million a person, per a new report. W/ @jmhansler + @kylieatwood: https://t.co/IL0ZPSrDpl

@TriciaOhio Maybe you’re unaware: The parking location was in Phoenix on Central, but the press conference was 19 miles away by car in Scottsdale.

It’s usual to go from one secured location to another. Frmr. DHS Sec. Mayorkas met us at the Mariposa POE.

@JerodMacEvoy @911WasTheJuice @TucsonSentinel @DSmith_Tucson I didn’t realize I was replying to such a fetid little goblin.

[Paul Ingram @pmingram]

@911WasTheJuice @TucsonSentinel @DSmith_Tucson In 2020, under DHS v. Thuraissigam, the court ruled that some people can face expedited removal—a fast-track process with limited appeals— if they were detained shortly after arriving to the U.S.
A limited review under §1252(e)(2) is not the absence of due process.

[Paul Ingram @pmingram]

@911WasTheJuice @TucsonSentinel @DSmith_Tucson This goes back to Yamataya v. Fisher, aka Japanese Immigrant Case (1903) when the court ruled an official "may not disregard the fundamental principles of due process of law as understood at the time of the adoption of the Constitution."

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

ICE's own guidance says @TriciaOhio is wrong! The Supreme Court has NEVER ruled that an administrative warrant can be used to break into a home. That's because administrative warrants don't require any independent oversight; they're signed by low-level ICE officers themselves.

FUN FACT: With full attendance, Democrats can defeat the DHS funding bill if Mike Johnson puts it on the floor.

Democratic representatives missing votes today: Casar, Conaway, Garamendi, Larson, Swalwell, Ritchie Torres

What impact are the US boat strikes having—besides killing >124 people?

- October-December 2024: 7,764 pounds of cocaine seized at the US-Mexico border.
- Oct-Dec 2025: 10,593 pounds of cocaine seized.

Cocaine is up 34% *despite* the boat strikes.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth.

MAJOR SCOOP —  DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski have been trying to force out President Donald Trump's top border official, Rodney Scott, over disagreements about how to reach deportation goals and ethical concerns, eight sources told me.

Been thinking quite a lot this week about one of the very first cases I tracked of ICE detaining a U.S. citizen

A year ago, ICE agents detained a 20 YO they said swerved his car at them

But local Utah police checked security footage. And it wasn’t true https://t.co/FPZY3q4rHK

#BREAKING via @JenniferJJacobs - Nicolas Maduro was captured by Delta Force, the U.S. military's top special mission unit, according to U.S. officials. Army Delta Force was also responsible for the mission that killed al-Baghdadi in 2019.
