ICE officer Christian Castro was booked in Hennepin County after months of extradition wrangling over state assault charges tied to the shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. Federal prosecutors separately allege Castro lied to the FBI. Accountability: apparently it needed a tow truck.
The Supreme Court stopped a last-minute federal mail-ballot squeeze for 2026, but the administration is still pressing states for voter data and selling seven Texas voting-related charges as proof the whole republic needs a bouncer at the door.
A whistleblower alleges DHS pushed USCIS staff to use voters’ personal data on state lookup sites, make false attestations, and crank through 40 cases daily. The agency calls the work diligent. Sure, and the nonexistent Winchester McDonald’s has a drive-thru.
A federal judge ruled DHS unlawfully pushed FEMA toward a 50% staffing cut. Turns out Congress did not build post-Katrina guardrails so somebody could drive a budget truck through them at closing time.
A federal judge kept the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office under court supervision after finding the county had not proved its racial-profiling reforms would last. Turns out “trust us” is not a compliance plan.
Our pedophile president is allied with the men who did 9/11.
Boston’s First Circuit kept a USPS mail-ballot rule blocked, the Supreme Court knocked out Missouri’s Trump-backed map, and the Fourth Circuit rejected ICE’s no-bond detention theory. Another evening where the Constitution is doing overtime with no onion rings.
Trump’s team is trying to turn mail voting into a federal permission slip, then sprinting to the Supreme Court when a judge says maybe don’t rewire elections with ballots already in the mail. Cute little constitutional bonfire.
