Judges have called President Donald Trump’s Justice Department “unlawful,” “unethical” and “unseemly.”
Now, they’re questioning if government prosecutors can be trusted.

Federal Judges Chastise Trump’s Justice Department for “Unlawful,” “Unethical” and “Unseemly” Conduct
ProPublica reviewed hundreds of cases in which judges criticized the actions of federal prosecutors. In many, judges expressed frustration that they can no longer take the government at its word.

The tragedy traces back to an ICE stop and deportation of Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz.
A year later, amid acute struggle, his wife, Glendy, decided to "self-deport." Weeks after reuniting, the couple was found dead in a field.
“If my brother hadn’t been deported…Both of them might still be alive.”

She followed ICE’s advice to self-deport. Five weeks later, she was dead.
A St. Louis mother took her three daughters to reunite with her deported husband in Guatemala. Neighbors found the couple bound and shot in a sugarcane field.

I’ve been notified of another death in ICE custody.
This is the 55th death under Trump’s second term and the second reported death at Delaney Hall in less than 8 months.
We must end the use of these deadly private prisons and reform our country’s cruel detention policies.

This is a really good explanation of what Trump’s SAVE voting requirements will mean - if it is implemented - to voters, especially women and people of color. Also a good point is made about voters who support showing ID to vote but may not support a strict restriction on what the ID can be.
🎥 NEW: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just admitted it: Real ID doesn't prove citizenship and isn't acceptable voter ID.

NEW: According to Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), Trump's Thursday night speech was less about foreign interference and more about the president's own intentions to interfere with upcoming elections.
