Reminder on 2 points: yes, most convicted of 1325 get time served in judicial process costing taxpayers what a US District Judge called 'mind-boggling, neither meritorious nor reasonable' & clog up as much as 80 % of TX border courts before landing in ICE
houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
The government can only prosecute a small % of illegal border-crossers anyway, it simply doesn't have the capacity. But families weren't only separated under zero tolerance because of 1325: houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
And though some families are still being separated now because of 1325, the vast majority are being separated because of broad gang and criminal allegations and often without little shared proof: houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

My family (me, a journalist; my sister, a surgeon; my father, an engineer; and my mother, a lawyer,) came here on the green card lottery and have had many friends and relatives apply (most rejected as 50K global cap); this is decidedly not how that system works.
It's a random computerized lottery, so no country can send most egregious offenders; 2, there are financial/edu barriers; 3: only opportunity for many, esp from Africa and Asia, to come to America legally and get in the so-called line @SarahPierceEsq
tinyurl.com/yydtgq4w
@SarahPierceEsq 2011 report from Congressional Research Service showed higher % of immigrants who entered through lottery had managerial & professional occupations than green card holders overall, ~25% compared to ~10 %. They had a lower unemployment rate, 3 % , relative to 8 % of all greencards

With #DemocraticDebates (esp. @JulianCastro) spotlight on abolishing criminal charges for illegal entry, my story from 2017 on the history of the law and how its use exploded under Bush (also story how I uncovered #familyseparations )
houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t… via @houstonchron
Here is the story that resulted from that one, uncovering the El Paso family separation pilot in 2017, six months before it was announced. Also note difference in @CBP response to separating families between story 1 and 2
houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t… via @houstonchron
And for folks who STILL say it happened under Obama and Bush too, nope. Only in rare circumstances, not as broad policy.

New: @aclu asks judge overseeing family separations to order govnt halt the ongoing practice, saying +900, incl. babies, have been separated since injunction last summer. Our story in June had +700, often for questionable gang claims or criminal records.

@ACLU
@ACLU Many of the parents we interviewed had been separated from their children because of dubious gang allegations that fell apart upon closer investigation or because they had been victims of gang crimes, not perpetrators.

In case you wondered, as time permits I add Q drops tha match the deltas (time between tweets) & timestamps on President Trump’s Tweets as a way to re_read drops & to see if they are deliberate on POTUS part, possibly pointing to a specific drop. Sometimes they seem to be! 😊

Mega Thread of Opinion (1 of 52)

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

District Judge Royce Lamberth is ordering the State Dept & DOJ to work with @JudicialWatch citing that State & DOJ colluded in to keep HRC's missing emails from the public. washingtonexaminer.com/washington-sec…
Comey said in July 2016, "To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions."
Comey also stated, "all other cases that were prosecuted involved intentional/willful mishandling of information. How does Comey think that classified information ended up on a private server? That IS willful intent because it has to be physically removed from systems.

Thread on Hoysaleshwara temple, Halebidu, Karnataka.
It's not a temple. It’s a parallel universe. A time portal. A standing testimony to the ingenuity of our ancestors. It's existence speaks of the extraordinary achievements in science, architecture, mathematics. 900 years ago!
When you see Hoysaleshwara, the 1st reaction is disbelief. It doesn’t seem to be made of soapstone, but rather feels like a tapestry where all our beliefs, mythologies, our Devas, our very soul is inscribed fluidly. Nobody can return untouched. Devas do reside here!
Hoysaleshwara is a dwikuta temple with 2 linga shrines . It was built in 11th century by Kedaroja, master builder of King Narsimha I, under supervision of Ketamalla-Chief officer of public works.

Scottish legal authorities have received a European Arrest Warrant request for Catalan politician & St Andrews University Professor @ClaraPonsati. Spanish state continues its repression of Catalan democracy. vilaweb.cat/noticies/escoc…
How this works: Scotland's prosecution service @COPFS received the request. Extradition is a reserved matter. (Schedule 5 Scotland Act 1998) As @PeatWorrier says: see sections 1-68A of the Extradition Act 2003 (Westminster Act) for judicial process here. legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/41/…
Important: the First Minister, all @ScotGov ministers & the Lord Advocate are legally required to not seek to influence particular judicial decisions. (Section 1 Judiciary and Courts (Scotland) Act 2008, devolved legislation)
