This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
It was this stupid story that made me look up exactly what sopressata was, but college degree or not, I was certainly capable of inferring from context that it was some kind of fancy ass cold cut, and what more do you need to know when ordering a sandwich?

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.
IceBreaker is a free online resource that maps the activity of ICE within NYC. It provides key info such as time, date, the # of agents on sight and the number of people detained.

Reddit screenshot from Glasgow thread. Bright flames rising out the side of a Victorian building.
Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.
The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.
The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
Morrison said Naqvi walked walked and hitchhiked to a hotel after being released from the detention center in WI.
Naqvi's sister Sarah Afzal also said the WI facility denied she was ever held there.
(I was told the same thing when I called the WI facility in the wee hours of Saturday morning.)
My maternal grandmother bullied my grandfather into leaving the Navy (which he loved) and becoming a wheat farmer. In Kansas. In the 20s. He hated farming, sucked at it, and then the dust bowl hit. So that's my family's experience of the idyll of subsistence farming in the early 20th.

It is true that Proton is located in Switzerland and responded to a legal request from the Swiss authorities. But it is also true that most people do not know what an MLAT is and there is a widespread misunderstanding that using Proton will protect your account from US govt requests.
Everything is explainable once you accept the cruelty is the point. It's not about freeing anyone or making anyone's life better. It's not about strategy or policy or victory or patriotism. Just being as destructive as possible.
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Let's hope.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her
Honestly she'd probably agree with that proposition.
It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:
“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
United States Onurt of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT No. 26-5050 September Term, 2025 1:25-cv-02471-ACR Filed On: March 6, 2026 Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, et al., Appellees V. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, et al., Appellants BEFORE: Walker, Pan, and Garcia, Circuit Judges ORDER Upon consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, the opposition thereto, the reply, the amicus briefs, and the Rule 28(i) letters, it is ORDERED that the motion for a stay be denied.
BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.
Haiti TPS is safe for now.
The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
