News@lemmy.world•Judge orders ICE to improve Chicago ‘prison’ after ‘disturbing’ details from inside
31·2 days agoJudge Gettleman has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement to provide three meals a day, adequate supplies of water, access to prescription medicine, clean bedding and space to sleep for any detainee held there overnight, with “adequate supplies of soap, towels, toilet paper, oral hygiene products (including toothbrushes and toothpaste) and menstrual products for women detainees.”
Holding cells and toilets are to be cleaned, and detainees should have access to showers “at least every other day,” according to the order.
If you have to order the waiter to bring you a soup the chef didn’t spit in you should probably just skip ahead to finding a different place to eat

2·4 days agoYou’re remembering correctly, but grand jury indictments are only required for felony charges not misdemeanors. Way less serious charge than they were trying for originally, but if he’s unlucky enough to get 12 scumbags on his jury he could still end up being fined or doing a few months in jail.

Not true, hundreds of individual people have been released orat leats had their deportations paused
The onslaught of legal rejections has come in hundreds of individual cases, typically filed on an emergency basis after ICE’s targets are arrested at courthouses or check-ins with immigration officers. Though a handful of class action lawsuits have been filed seeking to block the administration’s expanded detention policy, they have advanced slowly and seem weeks — perhaps months — from resolution.
Lots of terrible things are being done and any kind of justice is happening unacceptly slowly and arbitrarily, but saying “NOTHING” is happening isn’t true and makes things seem more hopeless than they are

Potential penalties for violations include both administrative and criminal sanctions such as suspension or removal from duty, fines and imprisonment
I mean, this is the sound of a journalist screaming internally “SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING”, but the time to start screaming externally was a while ago










The problem with the party leadership route is that party insiders are the only ones who get to vote on it, and when that’s the electorate she can’t even beat Gerry Nadler. If she can run in a race with real people voting on it I think she could beat anyone.
