This is an area that is ripe for reform. We've been aware of problems for years. The human and systemic stakes couldn't be higher. And yet, despite litigation, outreach, and education, the people with actual power shrug and pass the buck.

"Mr. Patrick, the U.S. attorney under Mr. Trump, said that “everyone involved is trying to do the best they can with the resources that are there.”". Again, false. We and stakeholders negotiated model policies. USAO refused to meet with us.

The reporting is great. The excuses are not. "[T]he chief justice for the Southern District of Texas, Randy Crane, said in an interview that the power to change the system lies with the Justice Department.". False. Federal law requires judges to make custody determinations.

Excellent reporting on an undersung power to detain innocent people as witnesses. This authority impacts thousands of people a year, nowhere more (or for longer periods of detention) than in my home district in southern Texas. 🧵🧵. @nytimes @ACLUTx .

So honored to share my views about the judiciary alongside giants. American courts enforce and re-enforce white supremacy, but we, the people, will prevail.
