Replying to @NACDLPresident
"The Department invokes 'weaponization' to justify a rule that is itself the most dangerous weaponization of all: turning the ethics oversight system into a shield for government attorneys rather than a check on their conduct," said NACDL Executive Director @lmonet.

NACDL launched a Criminal Case Tracker to monitor aggressive uses of criminal law in federal prosecutions. @maddow spoke with Attorney Steven Salky on the tracker’s findings: “The grand juries & the trial juries are not conceding, they’re fulfilling their constitutional duties.”

Lopez’s mother, seated in the front row of the gallery, burst into tears. Lopez immediately turned and embraced his attorneys. “You’re free,” Abel told Lopez. “I’m free,” he said. No better feeling for a defender! Thank you LAFed Defenders! latimes.com/california/story…

BREAKING: A witness who was just 5 feet from Alex Pretti filed an affidavit depicting what she saw. She says he didn’t touch any of the officers and didn’t appear to be resisting. He was merely helping a woman who had been pepper-sprayed. She’s is terrified that ICE is looking for her, saying they are lying and she doesn’t know what they will do to her if they find her.
