An extraordinary and excellent judicial opinion granting habeas corpus to a Liam Conejo Ramos, a child the Trump regime detained and held on the basis of only an administrative warrant.

@heidilifeldman did you notice the date?

@heidilifeldman holy fucking shit that’s strong

@heidilifeldman The typo won't matter, but will this decision matter to the government?

@heidilifeldman When will they be released? Hearing offline that it won't be until Tuesday?

Also, did he order that the government provide adequate health care in the interim?

"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

WOW. That is SCATHING. And utterly deserved.

@CommonSparrow @heidilifeldman I think, at the start of this egg-smashing lawlessness of the Trump administration, the judiciary were still assuming that the executive branch would act in good faith, as all the other administrations had before them. I've seen the language change from "care to explain?" to "do you think I'm stupid?" to "stop messing around" -- but this one is next level, wow.

Glen Kirschner on YouTube is a good one to follow if you want to keep up with the legal shennanigans (and how the judiciary are holding up the rule of law).
