I didn’t think the flying saucer could be funnier but I was so wrong. The comic timing is 100% pitch perfect
I just can’t even
This is BIG. After spending over $1 BILLION on the purchase of multiple commercial warehouses that ICE planned to convert into the largest jails/prisons in the nation, ICE is now largely abandoning the idea and will aim to sell off multiple warehouses at a loss.
I’m sorry, no. This is not the guy who did the reflecting pool. No. Come on. We’re just putting a hat on a hat here.

SCOTUS announces an additional opinion day on Tuesday. I expect 4-5 opinions then.
Love for my cortisol supplies to survive another day.
Imagine paying hundreds of dollars you don't have to renew a permit you've already renewed, submitting biometrics the government already has, just to lose your internship waiting indefinitely for an answer. That's the reality many DACA recipients are facing.

Louisiana has more ICE lockups than almost any other state. Now as a surge in habeas petitions overloads courts, people are held “unfathomably” long without recourse.
NEW — I wanted to know if ICE’s newly

The Supreme Court's third and FINAL opinion of the day is in the Rooker–Feldman case. (Yes, that takes an en dash.) So no huge ones today. I suspect the court will add at least one opinion day next week. A real logjam behind the scenes, it seems. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
