.@ACLU said yesterday that the Trump admin separated 1,556 more immigrant children from their parents at the border than was previously disclosed, including more than 200 children under 5.
This summer, @carriecordero, @HeidiLiFeldman & @KeitnerLaw set out to survey all of the law relevant to the Trump administration's implementation of the family separation policy.
"We concluded that diverse legal grounds all indicate the unlawfulness of family separation as a policy tool for deterring immigration."

Their findings are available in a new article, titled "The Law Against Family Separation." You can read a preview here justsecurity.org/66717/assessin…

"What happened in Mississippi reveals the hypocrisy of how the law is being applied today."

@BrianOwsley1, a former US Magistrate Judge in Corpus Christi, Texas, on how employers are let off the hook while their undocumented workers are arrested.
justsecurity.org/66155/if-natio…
His research shows that, since 2014, across the country, there have been no more than 200 prosecutions for alleged violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324a, the law that makes hiring undocumented immigrants illegal.
As a comparison:

"When I served on the bench, I assisted in the McAllen Division and handled more than 200 prosecutions for illegal reentry in less than two weeks," Owsley writes.

#Turkey #Syria Op: Tomorrow is “The” Day-#Erdogan will meet #Russia’s #Putin In #Sochi. After the meeting with #Pence in #Turkey last week, this coming meeting will put the “final-Final” touch on #Syria Op. Stay Tuned for my Analyses & Predictions.- - - nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/p…
Just remember, #Russia & #USA are coordinating and cooperating on #Syria. #Turkey’s hope: To Get From #Russia What it couldn’t get from #USA. I’m afraid, it won’t happen. Actually, Russia’s offer on Turkey #SafeZone will be far less, far more limited than Now-Canned US Offer.
Iran warns #Turkey & says establishing military post in #Syria will be unacceptable not only to Iran, but “Other” countries as well. By “Other Countries” #Iran meant #Russia.

‼️FISA WARRANTS

Origins TrumpRussia Investigation

FISA Russian Banks & Carter Page

FVEYs, USIC CounterInteligence & FBI’s CrossFire Hurricane Investigations
April (2016) the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was - allegedly - a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign.

🔑The taskforce included six agencies or departments of government. Dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice.

@Comey refers to the surveillance of Trump campaign as "court ORDERED."

Yeah. Some judges just up and ORDERED the FBI to conduct a spying operation.

Not.
@Comey's is the greasy slimey misdirection of the guilty. The FISA Court AUTHORIZED or APPROVED the surveillance; if an application or request from the #ObamaDOJ or the #ObamaFBI had not instigated it, there would have been no FISA surveillance.
@Comey can't wash the stain of his grotesquely anti-American conduct off his hands, and he surely cannot succeed in attempting to deflect responsibility to the #FISA #Court.

While I’m waiting for my plane from Orlando to Detroit, I am seriously thinking about live-tweeting the movie Star Wars from memory.
If anyone knows any reason why this should not happen, speak now or #force yourself to enjoy it
Having heard no legitimate objections, let’s begin.

Disclaimer: I haven’t seen Star Wars in a few years. These are my memories and impressions, which are 100% valid and factually correct so don’t AT-AT me. Star Wars joke
1) A BLAST of horns as the yellow Star Wars logo flings itself into deep space. I’m 7 years old and I’m already freeeeaking out

1) The Devin Nunes #FISA Amendment - A Legislative Timeline
This thread will demonstrate that the Nunes Amendment is directly related to the discovered #FISA702 abuses of the Obama DOJ/FBI. #SteeleDossier
2) February -March 2017 ChairmanNunes reviewed intelligence reports that were assembled exclusively for the office of the former President (Obama). That is why he went to the White House Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) Secure Information Facility to review.
3) March 22nd, 2017
Nunes lets everyone know that he is getting evidence from NSA Director Admiral Rodgers : "I will say this. The NSA has been VERY VERY HELPFUL....they [NSA] are in CONSTANT CONTACT with our team."
