Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Pretty clear Columbus came close to nailing this (tho w/o predicting EO would require request to CDCA).https://twitter.com/EricColumbus/status/1009479267057577988 …

    Then he can blame courts and Congress (which could overturn the Flores settlement) without having to endure political heat for family separations. 4/

        If you talk to MAGA people, they think that there is a Muslim ban and DACA is gone. They don't realize the courts blocked both. So six months from now, after a court rules that DHS cannot keep families and kids for longer than 20 days, Trump supporters will still claim he won.

        Replying to @emptywheel

        The admin talking points over the past few days telegraphed that they want to modify Flores or at least appeal it so they can dissipate the blame. What I don't get is why RILR v Johnson won't come into play as it bars blanket detaining of families requesting asylum as a deterrent

        Replying to @ECH_ALA @emptywheel

        Most of the adults are being sentenced to time served. Once criminal part is over, if they qualified for a credible fear interview due to requesting asylum how does RILR not require them to be released?https://www.aclu.org/cases/rilr-v-johnson …
