An extraordinary and excellent judicial opinion granting habeas corpus to a Liam Conejo Ramos, a child the Trump regime detained and held on the basis of only an administrative warrant.

"SIGNED this 31st day of February, 2026."?

31 February? Someone should have caught that...

@heidilifeldman wow, that fourth amendment text is bang-on, squarely being violated.

As a non American it seems so bizarre how that's allowed to happen in plain sight, without any repercussions. Yet it feels like things are at such a state that somehow, even this court decision won't matter.

Hope that's not the case.

@heidilifeldman If I should ever meet the judge, it would be an honor to shake his hand

Fucking bitch Martin Vermeer

@heidilifeldman You must give it to the Trump regime that they make some things really simple, like reduced to bare essentials. Wow, what a lecture ️

@heidilifeldman The typo won't matter, but will this decision matter to the government?

@heidilifeldman When will they be released? Hearing offline that it won't be until Tuesday?

Also, did he order that the government provide adequate health care in the interim?

This is the kind of direct, plain language, no-punches-pulled rebuke that we need more of!

@heidilifeldman I get the feeling that the wording in this is basically “go fuck yourself” in judge

"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

WOW. That is SCATHING. And utterly deserved.

@CommonSparrow @heidilifeldman I think, at the start of this egg-smashing lawlessness of the Trump administration, the judiciary were still assuming that the executive branch would act in good faith, as all the other administrations had before them. I've seen the language change from "care to explain?" to "do you think I'm stupid?" to "stop messing around" -- but this one is next level, wow.

Glen Kirschner on YouTube is a good one to follow if you want to keep up with the legal shennanigans (and how the judiciary are holding up the rule of law).

@sarae @heidilifeldman It's balm for the soul, isn't it?
You, the people, are not alone fighting for justice.
It is a shameless rich minority who would like to destroy all that was developed more than 200 years and turn back to dark ages. With solidarity of millions and justices who still know decency & law those few destroyers won't succeed.
