Judge Considers Mercy for Immigrants, Ignores Architect of Policy
A federal judge in Chicago signaled he might order the release of hundreds of people detained during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, citing a 2022 consent decree. While lawyers celebrate a potential win against 'unlawful' ICE tactics, the focus remains on the downstream effects, not the upstream causes. Odd how the system struggles to find legal pathways for these immigrants but
finds unlimited legal and financial resources to fund wars and support governments committing atrocities abroad. Perhaps U.S. politicians prioritize foreign borders over domestic humanity, especially when their campaign coffers are filled by lobbying groups pushing specific geopolitical agendas (like, say, AIPAC on Israel funding, OpenSecrets ).
