"Detainee deaths, medical and dietary neglect, violence, rioting, faulty security, lack of public transparency — and now blatant interference with defendants’ right to counsel.
Enough is enough at St. Louis’ downtown jail."

The US has the highest incarceration rate for women in the world.
This #InternationalWomensDay, we're thinking of all the women locked behind bars, away from their families. They can't get lost in the fight to end mass incarceration.
ALT Infographic text: Only 4% of the world's female population lives in the US
ALT Infographic text: But the US accounts for over 30% of the world's incarcerated women.

"We filed this emergency action to prevent 10 individuals detained inside the territorial United States, to prevent their transfer to Guantánamo. In our constitutional system, the president does not have the legal authority to render individuals to detention outside the United States, particularly to the notorious island prison of Guantánamo, a site of lawlessness and brutality.
The courts must stop these illegal transfers which serve no purpose other than performative cruelty on these vulnerable individuals."

10 years ago, DOJ’s Ferguson report exposed how the city weaponized its police & courts to generate revenue by levying unjust #FinesAndFees against low-income residents. The report revealed that the city’s policing practices were driven by revenue, “rather than public safety.”

NEW: The last time Missouri tried to take over the St. Louis police force was around the Civil War. Now, the state is trying to do it again. Smart story from @jeremykohler of @propublica.

THREAD. The assumption that the reasons people in power do things are the same as why *they say* they do things is one of the most important forms of propaganda. The greatest lie of all is that billions flowing for more militarized police surveillance is "to prevent crime."

For years, our members have fought for people who suffered neglect and abuse from Wellpath. Devontae Torriente outlines in @theappeal how one of the nation’s largest private correctional medical contractors has filed for bankruptcy to evade accountability.
Wellpath, one of the nation’s largest private correctional medical contractors, has conveniently filed for bankruptcy as it faces scores of lawsuits for alleged neglect and misconduct. theappeal.org/bankruptcy-let…

Every activist who has suffered unconstitutional abuses by the GBI, Atlanta Police, Georgia State Patrol, and other agencies deserves justice.
We support Jamie's civil action and want to see many more. If you have been abused by the police, get in touch!

The announced registry for immigrants is yet another tactic of fear enacted by this administration.
We urge those who worry this might include them not to fill anything just yet, and seek legal advice to identify next steps.

People who don't practice criminal law don't know how rare this is. The City Attorney in Los Angeles is being ordered to turn over lots of evidence because a strong initial case was demonstrated that she conspired to commit serious federal crimes and state ethical violations:
The @CityAttorneyLA must turn over any all records, regardless of format, between Hydee & staff & any other entity pertaining to Hydee going after pro-Palestine protestors from October 2023 to the present
We will likely find more information about Hydee conspiring with AIPAC
ALT The foregoing analysis supports discovery of evidence pertaining to the Murgia claim. Scrutiny of the items requested reveals various bases for limitations upon that order: 1. Prosecution Communication with Other Entities: "Any and all records, regardless of format (including memorandum, reports, emails, and text messages on either official accounts and devices or on personal accounts and devices where official matters are discussed), of communications between current or former Los Angeles City Attorney's Office personnel (including but not limited to City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto) and any other entity pertaining to either the incident or incidents that are the subject of this criminal prosecution or to public assemblies or First Amendment expressive activities related to Palestine, Israel and/or Gaza from October 2023 to the present." The information is discoverable subject to work product and official information privileges.
