Merged Due process in the US

Pee Wee Miller is heading for serious trouble by making himself so visible.
There's got to be dirt on him. Further, his base, if he has one, can only be slimier and more openly radical than he is.

But fascists always overreach themselves, and with nobody restraining him -- certainly not Donnie-In-The-Fog! -- he's sure to end his own career.

Someone should remind him that both Stalin and Hitler killed the True Believers early. I get Drumpf is probably too frail and confused by now to try much of anything, but you never know who's scheming behind the scenes.
 
Attorney Scott Greenfield raised the issue of how DHS accessed cases that should have been sealed. He wrote, "When computerization began, the law was changed to provide that records of cases terminated in favor of the accused would be destroyed, but that digital images could be retained. But they were still sealed, and while the defendant could access his own criminal history information, they could not be provided to anyone else without an unsealing order by the court...The law prohibits the disclosure of sealed records in the absence of a court-ordered unsealing order. In other words, Tisch is wrong and what the NYPD did by turning over sealed records to ICE was unlawful regardless."
 
What is it about people like Miller that they can't bring themselves to the level of the most rudimentary courtesy and say the name of the other party correctly? If their opponents started doing that and calling them the Republan party or the Repubican party or something they'd scream at the nastiness. I think anyone who refers to the Democratic party as the Democrat party should be automatically disqualified as obviously unable ether to write coherently or to carry on a civil conversation.
 
Or to quote the unwittingly prophetic Robert Frost....

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
 
Green card holder held 2 months for having marijuana in 2015
Although Schmidt has no ongoing legal issues, according to his family, he previously had a misdemeanor charge for having marijuana in his vehicle in 2015. That charge was dismissed after laws about cannabis changed. His mother said he missed a hearing about the case in 2022 because the notice was not forwarded to his correct address. He also had a DUI about a decade ago.

Michael Mehr, an attorney for Cliona Ward, a green card holder who was detained for two weeks, told Newsweek on Thursday: "This is an example of the overreach of the new Trump deportation plan which sweeps up even lawful permanent residents like Cliona Ward. She was not a danger to anyone. She was, in fact, the primary care-giver for her chronically ill son and a long time and valued employee at a Christian conference center. She had resided in the U.S. since she was 12 years old...The only thing Trump's administration did with this escapade was to tarnish our image abroad and at home."

Yep, as part of their goal to try to get rid of all those illegal aliens who are invading across our border, the government is clearing out ... green card holders with traffic violations.

Talk about a bait-and-switch.

What is ironic is that there are plenty in the white nationalist movement who would love to get rid of Miller the moment he is no longer useful because of Millers Jewish background.

Indeed. You can't hold a law enforcement agency liable for the behavior of its officers, only the individual officer. But if you can't identify the officer, you can't hold him personally liable. This has been going on for many years. In the protests I have attended or witnessed in my city, the local police obscure their nametags and badge numbers so that they cannot be identified. They are, however, still in uniform.

The reciprocal problem is that if law enforcement officers do not identify themselves and are not otherwise recognizable as officers, people in states like mine that have stand-your-ground laws have a legally cognizable right to exercise appropriate (including deadly) force in their own defense if they believe they are about to be kidnapped. When police action is indistinguishable from a kidnapping attempt, the 2nd amendment may start to factor in.

Depends on what Pokémon Ukraine is fielding. I haven't played the game since I was a kid so I don't know any good Pikachu counters.

Something with the ground element will nullify the electric attacks that Pikachu specializes in completely and ground is extra effective against electric. A ground/ghost element pokemon combination opponent would nullify the remaining normal attacks that Pikachu learns, too, leaving maybe one Steel attack that Pikachu could learn without TMs that's not completely negated.

Really, though, without going overboard on focused counters, Pikachu had high speed and good special attack/defense, but quite low defense and HP. In short, the wild ones were particularly easy to drop in one hit with most good physical attacks, so there's a heck of a lot of good counters, so long as you avoid the flying and water types that are weak to electric.

They'll solve that problem easily enough, simply declare anybody who stands up to police brutality to be a racial enemy and therefore without access to any rights under state, federal or constitutional law.

He is mexican and has an arabic name each of those individually would be a cause for deportation, but the product of two negatives is a positive, so now he gets detained for trying to leave the country!
 
They kinda need to make up their minds what they want him to do.

If they don't want Mexicans with Arabic-sounding names in the country any more (despite his having a green card) but they won't permit him to leave either, then what the hell do they want?
 
Dog killer wants a plane too!

The U.S. Coast Guard has asked for an additional $50 million in President Donald Trump's proposed budget to pay for a "new Gulfstream 5 jet for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem," Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) noted on X.



"My committee just received a last-minute addition to the Coast Guard’s spend plan: $50 million for a new Gulfstream 5 jet for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s personal use," Underwood wrote on X. "She already has a Gulfstream 5, by the way, but she wants a new one paid for with your taxpayer dollars."

The comments came amid a hearing in the House Committee on Appropriations subcommittee that handles homeland Security.

At the start of the hearing, she said that the Coast Guard must already do more with fewer resources. She told Admiral Kevin E. Lunday that she "strongly supports... large increases to your budget."
