I went in to Kerrville. Day after. A few can attest. I saw a lot of ICE, FBI, etc. But ya know, the Mexican team was one of the first to respond and the last to come for lunch. 

FEMA and the RS Teams? Nope.

So he dead?

No, just unalive. Like at the end of tomorrow's football games (much more important that the downfall of American democracy) I won't be drunk, just unsober.

One thing all this shit underscores, that I think a lot of people really didn't realize, is that a lot of, nay most, unlawful immigrants are living really normal lives, working, paying taxes, going to school, doing most stuff native-born Americans do, and generally working a lot harder than most at jobs native-borns are afraid to do.

The GOP had created this notion that they were all standing around on street corners, slingin drugs and looking for white wimmen to rape and other crimes to do.  Complete and utter bullshit.

This.  Just...this.

Not only are the vast majority - as in, almost all - of illegal immigrants NOT out there hurting anyone, they're actually just folks, working hard as hell, doing their jobs well, contributing to our overall economy and society, raising their families, and trying to create a better future for their family.

You know what I call people like that?  Great Americans.  A guy who gets up before the sun, busts his ass doing top-quality work, greeting his co-workers and client/boss with a smile, who goes home and kisses his wife, laughs with his kids, cheers them on at their soccer games, provides a good and safe home for them so that they can live and go to school and maybe end up with a job that DOESN'T require getting up at 4:00 and working outside, and enjoys watching a game with his buddies on the weekend?  We should want a country full of people like that.  That's the best of America.  

What REALLY pisses off these loser white supremacists who can't fucking compete is that we HAVE a "best of America" -- and it's brown, speaks Spanish, and listens to music they don't understand.  Tough shit.  Get over it, you fucking entitled, loser fucks.

Parts of my racist shit fuck family see black people like this and really want to go after them but since they are citizens going after the illegals is the next best thing. These people really are pieces of shit and I don’t see any way to change their mind. They really enjoy being racist

There's a wildfire up here burning in Olympic National Forest and parts of Olympic National Park. It's not big, but it's burning in a very inaccessible area (steep slopes, lack of roads, etc.) with ample fuel that makes it difficult to contain. Despite its relatively small size it's a big smoke producer because of said fuel, so it's been an air quality issue for the Olympic Peninsula and, for a few brief instances, the Seattle-Tacoma metro. It is only 13% contained despite starting fourth of July weekend, and only that high because there was an unseasonably large rain event a week or two ago (despite this, it's been a rather dry spring and summer and the entire region is in a drought). The firefighters out there are up against it to protect structures, park infrastructure, and find ways to contain a very difficult fire.

Why do I mention this?

Because ICE/CPB/BLM determined it was a good idea to sideline contracted fire crews to line them up, check for papers, and in fact arrest two wildland firefighters working to contain a fire on federal land. They did so in a remote area with a lack of cell service or other telecom infrastructure, so I highly doubt they were even able to get in touch with their families.

It's not just that the cruelty is a plus, or part of the plan. It is the only point. There is no other objective for these people.

Quote

The federal public defender’s office in Los Angeles filed a motion Friday to disqualify acting U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli, arguing that the Trump administration’s pick to serve as the top federal prosecutor in Southern California is unlawfully occupying his post.

 

Essayli, a former Riverside County assemblyman, was appointed by U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi in April, and his term was set to expire in late July unless he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate or a panel of federal judges. But the White House never moved to nominate him to a permanent role, instead opting to use an unprecedented legal maneuver to shift his title to “acting,” extending his term another nine months without any confirmation process.

 

The federal public defender’s office filed a motion seeking to dismiss an indictment against their client and to disqualify Essayli and attorneys working under him “from participating in criminal prosecutions in this district.”

 

The defendant, Jaime Ramirez, was indicted on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

 

In a 63-page motion filed in Ramirez’s case, James Anglin Flynn and Ayah A. Sarsour, deputy federal public defenders, argued that the Trump administration circumvented limitations that Congress has imposed on temporary service in key offices, including U.S. attorneys.

 

Essayli’s term was supposed to expire on July 29. At that point the White House had not formally nominated him before the U.S. Senate, and local federal judges had taken no action to confirm Essayli, or anyone else, to the position. At the eleventh hour, the White House named Essayli as acting U.S. attorney, allowing him to hold the post for 210 more days without confirmation hearings

 

Essayli “was not lawfully acting as the United States Attorney in any capacity” on Aug. 13, when the government obtained the indictment against Ramirez, the deputy federal public defenders wrote in their motion. “And he has no such lawful authority today.”

 

The U.S. attorney’s office in L.A. did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Department of Justice declined to comment.

 

In their motion, Flynn and Sarsour pointed out that the Trump administration has used similar strategies to keep political allies in power in U.S. attorney’s offices in New Jersey, Nevada, New Mexico and the Northern District of New York. But legal challenges are mounting. Last week, a federal judge ruled that Alina Habba has been illegally occupying her seat in New Jersey since early July, although that order was put on hold pending appeal.
