Unanimous First Circuit takes pains to emphasize that this was an incredibly easy case to decide, despite writing a very long opinion knocking down every ridiculous argument the Trump admin made.
BREAKING: WE WON!!!

Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment.
Full ruling here:
Heβs not wrong! Iβm hopeful our generals honor their oath to the Constitution and recognize that the βenemy withinβ is actually the people trying to destroy our government and the Constitution right now.
Whatβs at stake here is free speech.
Across the board, weβve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody whoβs criticized them β and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.
We need to all stand up and speak out.
Please share everywhere!
π₯ DAMN! β @benniegthompson to @kristinoem: βIβm glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.β
I am delighted that Mohsen Mahdawi has been released from detention.
Expressing a political opinion about the war in Gaza is not a crime.
In the United States of America, you should not be put in a jail cell for exercising your First Amendment rights.

A Fox News graphic with the headline "President Trump's accomplishments" and three bullet points: Declassified the JFK Files; ended federal support for paper straws; ended production of the penny
In Trump's first 100 days, he alienated us from our allies, crashed the stock market, decimated U.S. cancer research, expelled American toddlers, lost the Canadian election by proxy, and threatened your Social Security checks.
But at least he focused on the important stuff.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.
Historian here:
βTo announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.β

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Several people wouldβve resigned or been fired by end of day
