Today, oh look! The witness the government provided in the Abrego case didn’t have knowledge of Abrego’s situation; Mahmoud Khalil is suing the government for $20M for false imprisonment - malicious prosecution - and defamation; the Texas flood response was slowed by DHS secretary Kristi Noem’s cost controls; Kerr County officials waited 90 minutes to send emergency alerts to the people; Judge Breyer has set an August 11 trial date for whether the government violated the Posse Comitatus Act when it deployed troops to Los Angeles; a judge has blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship order in a new class action lawsuit; the documents and emails proving protected whistleblower Erez Reuveni’s account of Emil Bove instructing the DoJ to tell the court to fuck off have been released; Minnesota Senator John Hoffman is back at home recovering after being shot nine times by a political assassin; Ken Paxton’s wife is leaving him after 38 years for biblical reasons. Dana is out and about!
