@DHSgov@RepJeffries It is NOT a crime; it is a misdemeanor. If you don't know the difference, you're in the wrong job. Stop holding ppl in substandard detention. Deport them, or let them go. Quit holding ppl who have green cards. For God's sake!
@cnn@NBCNightlyNews@ABC Please ASK & GET ANSWERS re WHY so many immigrants are detained!! (Some have legal status, but that's another topic.) Why are we holding them? If they are deportable, them deport them. Holding ppl in substandard conditions is criminal.
@SenBooker@AndyKimNJ A wise govt would look at this info & prepare to help, not just us but the world. Since there is no wisdom allowed in this WH, I urge you to push the Senate to do so

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Hereโs what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded โanti-weaponization fund.โย
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trumpโs former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing Iโve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Please tell me there are SOME Trump voters for whom the slush fund and the "no IRS investigations for him, his companies amd family" forever...are too far for them to go.
Trump's former lawyer, now AG, negotiated this settlement for Trump, with Trump not just creating the slush fund BUT ALSO the IRS can't pursue any tax cases against him, his businesses or his family? Ever?
So he defrauds us for free. And he's a Great Leader?? He's robbing YOU.
Oh, England. Please pay attn to the awful mess in the US thanks to the Orange one. The last thing you need to do to yourselves is fall into this same hole. Just stop this "MEGA" business.
@Lina_rays1ya Hahahaha. Sure. Trump helped himself to a billion dollars in his first year. He's suing the federal govt for $10million...and he's the one who decides if the govt just settles & gives him the money. Trump is robbing us left and right.
Wow! Larry hasn't even bought @CNN yet and already they're sounding like Fox! "The Left Coast" in the middle of a serious report? OK. I don't watch Fox, and I won't watch CNN, either. Serious news is available everywhere.
@abc.com dont take the bait. You know what happened last time. People who dont like Kimmel's humor can change the channel. Bet they don't watch it anyway.
@anders_aslund Vance, Musk, Thiel, and the broligarchs want to install a far-right fascist oligarchy that spans the entire West.
Govs that will give/sell their countries to the oligarchs.
Orban is their trojan horse into the EU.
