What guts me, emotionally, and gives me rage to act is the thought of having my family ripped away from me and sent to a gulag like is happening to people in this country right now. But if a precipitous drop in your 401(k) is what it takes to make you stand up and scream “No!”, fine. As long as you’re ready to give these bastards no quarter and ride them the hell out on a rail, we can work with that. #HandsOff

NEW: As the Fourth Circuit today considers whether to block her order, Judge Paula Xinis releases a strong opinion defending it, calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia's detention "wholly lawless" and her order "the narrowest, daresay only, relief warranted." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
