The most immediate effect of Trump’s threat is to make Chandler Hall, the #CAP report’s author, a folk hero among DC’s left-leaning policy analysts. But if the threatened lawsuit actually materializes, #Trump will lose.

#CAP is led by #NeeraTanden [💕], one of the Democratic Party’s most influential power players & a veteran of the past three Democratic admins. But a less partisan #ThinkTank, the #NiskanenCenter, published its own report in May that also found no effect on violent crime in DC attributable to the #NationalGuard deployment. (It did find a reduction in property crime, which CAP did not analyze.)

What set #Trump off was a #CAP report that found #NationalGuard deployments in DC have not contributed to the decline of violent crime. Trump said on social media that he’s drawing up a lawsuit against the liberal #ThinkTank & suggested that he might include some of its contributors. Trump named Google, Apple, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Walmart, Toyota, T-Mobile & NBC Universal.

#Trump’s attack on a #ThinkTank is an affront to the #FirstAmendment
#Republicans would be rightly irate if a Democratic president threatened to sue a conservative think tank & punish its corporate #donors over #research the White House didn’t like, but Trump’s attack this week on the Center for American Progress [ #CAP ] & its funders has been met with shrugs & silence.

As part of their inquiry, the documents show, #DHS officials used an array of invasive tactics during the first half of this year to gather information on many groups & individuals who were NEVER even accused of crimes, crossing the line that has traditionally stood between investigating criminal activity & political #dissent.

Instead, it was several #left-leaning #political organizations — #labor #unions, a #ClimateChange group, #socialist collectives — that investigators believed had provided help & money to what they described as the “violent opportunists & agitators” on the street, acc/to newly released government documents.

Four days after #AlexPretti was fatally shot while filming officers taking part in the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown in #Minnesota, the #DHS quietly opened an investigation at its office in St. Paul.
The target was not the #BorderPatrol agents who had killed Mr. Pretti, a 37-year-old government nurse, in late January.

Judge Dismisses Federal #Antisemitism Case Against #Harvard
Judge Richard G. Stearns of the US District Court in Massachusetts granted Harvard’s motion to throw out the case, saying the antisemitic incidents cited in the administration’s March lawsuit were “too isolated and episodic” to show that Harvard is out of compliance with the law.

In a written ruling Tuesday, Mehta said he was dismissing the #OathKeepers’ charges reluctantly at the request of the #DOJ. He criticized prosecutors for claiming in a court filing that wiping out the most serious convictions from the #Jan6 riot was in the public interest.

Mehta had sentenced Rhodes to 18 years in prison & imposed lesser prison terms on other top #OathKeepers who were #convicted at #jury trials. #Trump commuted those prison sentences on his first day in office last year, & he pardoned more than 1,500 rioters.

#Trump is considering removing #JeaninePirro, the #USattorney for #DC, over a #DOJ conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial #ReflectingPool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism….
Trump is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”

In the past, #asylum seekers who entered
the #US legally or were never charged with an #immigration violation had the opportunity to apply for refuge in an office before a trained asylum officer. The officer could refer them to immigration court for removal proceedings if they were rejected, or allow them to continue proceedings & potentially get on a path to obtaining US citizenship.#law #DueProcess #WhiteSupremacy #WhiteChristianNationalism #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #MafiaState #autocracy
