\n…
\nThe Trump team distinction between a real warrant and an administrative one is not legal hair-splitting. It is huge. A judicial warrant is an interruption. It forces the government to explain itself to someone who does not take orders from it. An administrative warrant is a permission slip the government writes to itself, like a child excusing his or her own absence from school. The fact that such a document is now offered as justification for forced entry into a home tells you everything you need to know about the Trump administration\u2019s view of constitutional limits: the limits are optional, situational, and are best handled internally.
\n(David Shuster more…)<\/a><\/p>\nHeather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – February 3, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\nYesterday, the day before Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem\u2019s termination of Haiti\u2019s Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation, U.S. District Court Judge Ana C. Reyes stopped that termination until a pending court case worked its way through the courts.<\/p>\n
At stake first of all were the lives of about 353,000 Haitians living legally in the United States since the catastrophic Haitian earthquake of 2010, whom the termination of that status would render undocumented overnight. …<\/p>\n
As Judge Reyes explains, Congress established Temporary Protective Status in 1990 to change previously haphazard executive decisions about whether to receive immigrants from disaster-stricken countries that left recipients unclear about their immigration status. …<\/p>\n
And yet, the judge explains, Secretary Noem ignored the process and the criteria, instead relying on ideology. …<\/p>\n
… During the 2024 campaign, Trump falsely accused Haitian immigrants of \u201ceating the dogs,\u201d \u201ceating the cats,\u201d and \u201ceating the pets\u201d of people who live in Springfield, Ohio. He insisted he would revoke Haiti\u2019s TPS designation and send immigrants \u201cback to their country.\u201d
\n…<\/p>\n
But, as Reyes points out, the facts simply don\u2019t match their ideology. …<\/p>\n
… \u201cKristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary<\/strong><\/em> Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the [Administrative Procedure Act] to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that.\u201d<\/p>\nIn the conflict between reality and white nationalist ideology, reality appears to be gaining ground. …

Texas Tribune: After El Paso\u2019s ME ruled migrant\u2019s death a homicide, ICE sent the next body to an Army hospital<\/a><\/h2>\nICE bypassed the county medical examiner in favor of a military facility for the autopsy of a Nicaraguan man and won\u2019t release a ruling to the public.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe body of a migrant who died at an El Paso immigration detention center was sent to a military hospital rather than the county medical examiner who investigated two previous deaths at the facility \u2014 and concluded that one of them was a homicide rather than a suicide.<\/p>\n
Victor Manuel Diaz, a 36-year-old Nicaraguan, died Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana, a massive tent facility the federal government built on the Fort Bliss Army base. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Diaz was found unconscious and unresponsive in his room and died of \u201ca presumed suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Diaz\u2019s autopsy is being performed at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in Fort Bliss, which doesn\u2019t release autopsy reports to the public \u2014 only to family members and investigators, according to Jessia Rovero, a public affairs officer at Fort Bliss.<\/p>\n
This comes after the El Paso Medical Examiner recently ruled a previous detainee\u2019s death a homicide<\/a>, contradicting ICE\u2019s contention that he died by suicide.

- The available evidence suggests that the Trump Administration is attempting to cover up misconduct.\n
- The Trump Administration is continuing its cover-up by impeding thorough and impartial investigations into the shootings.\n<\/ul>\n

Robert Reich: Donald Trump vs. Donald Trump<\/a><\/h2>\nTrump has sued the Internal Revenue Service for $10 billion.<\/p>\n
In the suit, filed in Miami federal court on Thursday, Trump alleges that the IRS was responsible for the leak of some of Trump\u2019s tax documents to press in September 2020. The leak occurred by an IRS contractor.<\/p>\n
The leaked tax documents revealed that Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016, the year he first won the presidency, and paid no taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years.
\n…<\/p>\n
So how, exactly, is this $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS going to work? Who will represent the government \u2014 that is, you and I and every other taxpayer that would, in effect, have to shell out $10 billion if he wins?<\/p>\n
How can the Justice Department represent us when Trump has directed the department to do whatever he wants it to do? If there are settlement negotiations with him, who\u2019s going to negotiate the settlement with him? Who\u2019s going to sign the final agreement with him?
