He thinks he is king. The Constitution and Lsw mean nothing to him.
Looks like Exhibit A to me.
The #legal #rights people have if #ICE stops them
A sense of anxiety is gripping noncitizen residents of the #UnitedStates.
The 2nd #Trump admin kicked off w/a shock-&-awe effort aimed at arresting & deporting many immigrants without legal status. But stories are now emerging of both longtime legal permanent residents & visa holders being detained by ICE & other #immigration *officers*.

And perhaps most importantly, a country where the regime no longer abides by rulings from the existing #legal system.
Another standard of liberal governments is that people who present themselves through #legal pathways as #refugees fleeing #oppression are vetted & provided #DueProcess, not disappeared into foreign gulags.
And yet, here we are.

New York is 1 of 8 states that have enacted “telemedicine abortion shield laws” after #SCOTUS overturned the national right to an #abortion in 2022. The laws prevent ofcls from extraditing abortion providers to other states or from responding to subpoenas & other #legal actions…
The action by the NY court is the first time that an abortion shield law has been used.

Also, a headline helps quite a bit, as well as an image or link.
