Senate Democratic opposition to DHS funding raises the stakes on partial government shutdown

Jasmine crockett visited Amarillo, texas where she stood with workers who are being layed because of donald trump's tariffs.

These cases are absolutely inundating dockets across the country and have been since July. Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota has been a key driver of new cases lately. Earlier:

Judge Jennifer REARDEN becomse the first Biden-nominated judge to side with the Trump administration's view of mandatory detention for people in deportation proceedings. Judges have gone 345-20 against the admin's view, but DHS has won a few lately. https://t.co/HmR6yErANZ

The 8th circuit panel that brushed back DOJ? One Obama appointee, two Trump appointees. Importantly though, one of those Trump appointees said DOJ clearly had probable cause for the arrests — they just had other means to get the warrants authorized. https://t.co/LSDy1vNPM6

The chief federal judge in Minnesota lit into DOJ for portraying the church disruption as an urgent matter. "There is absolutely no emergency," George W. Bush appointed Patrick Schlitz wrote, calling the effort "frivolous." https://t.co/LSDy1vNPM6

NEW: In sealed proceedings yesterday, DOJ put intense pressure on federal judges in Minnesota to authorize the arrest of Don Lemon and others — until they were brushed back by an appeals court last night. But even more notable... w/ @joshgerstein https://t.co/LSDy1vNPM6

President Trump pardoned multiple people who carried guns to the Capitol on Jan. 6, including one who fired his gun into the air.

@kyledcheney Good Lord. No reason to arrest, no reason to hold, but refusing to release nonetheless. Maybe ICE can't find lawyers to answer these cases?

Huh - the courts say what ICE is doing is subhuman. Maybe we should all listen? Maybe?

@kyledcheney you should add the other note - the judge ordered release and to not move him outside of MN. the feds both moved him to texas, are refusing to cooperate, AND have denied access to his lawyer

@kyledcheney Remember Hilton and other hotels suspended owners of franchises.. meanwhile silence from them when ice abducts their employees

I’m speaking out now because the rule of law is what holds our society together and is a functional prerequisite to our prosperity. And I have seen no sign whatsoever that this administration cares even a little bit about the rule of law, or the truth.

An Operation PARRIS arrest means he was a full-blown refugee with 100% lawful status, on a clear path directly to a green card and eventual citizenship. With Operation PARRIS DHS is arresting recently-arrived refugees and sending them to Texas to be interrogated and “re-vetted.”

Here's another ruling in Minnesota, also yesterday, releasing a man who was forcefully detained by ICE despite having *active* refugee status. https://t.co/JVmI4Uzdyr

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. https://t.co/DwAysKlXeY

BREAKING: Judge Tostrud -- a Trump appointee — has quickly granted a restraining order, barring the administration from "destroying or altering evidence" taken from today's shooting. https://t.co/atK6MjGsQJ

A lawyer for Minneapolis confirms that federal agents asked MPD to leave the scene of today's shooting but MPD refused so they could "hold the crime scene." https://t.co/8a8P1vUhxP

NEW: Saturday's shooting prompted a frantic rush to the courts by Minnesota officials to demand legal restrictions on ICE agents' use of force — and an outright block on Operation Metro Surge. They were bolstered by harrowing witness affidavits. https://t.co/kmfX94BGB8

JUST IN: Federal judge Indira Talwani (Obama/MA) issues pre-midnight ruling blocking Trump admin bid to end "family reunification parole" for Colombians, Cubans, Ecuadorians, Guatemalans, Hatians, Hondurans & Salvadorans. Doc:
