  3. Three thoughts out of the #LuigiMangione #court #hearings...

    1) the #police clearly didn't take the #arrest seriously (they thought it was just a weirdo with a forged ID, possibly just harassing a homeless man), and botched the initial #investigation. This will be useful for his defense #lawyer.

    2) #Mangione giving police fake names and a fake #ID shows he either purposefully got himself arrested, or is very insane. It's also possible he was copying the actual #UnitedHealthcare #CEO #assassin, passing off the names and IDs he was known to have, getting caught with what looked like "evidence". Remember: lots of people sympathize with the shooter. All this could easily be his defense.

    3) The more we find out about how he got caught, the more I'm realizing how someone who does this might be able to avoid being caught, leaving the act to speak for itself, blending in with everyone else who sympathized, and creating plausible deniability it they are ever arrested.

    "We live in #InterestingTimes" indeed...

  5. Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the raid. A #US #citizen, he said agents broke through his door & dragged him out in zip ties.

    Johnson said he was left #TiedUp outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents finally let him go.

    “I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, & they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a #warrant, & I asked for a #lawyer. They never brought one.”

  6. Boosts appreciated!

    I have some dear friends who are looking for a family court #lawyer who practices in NY (Orange County) to assist with an immediate need pertaining to guardianship of minors. If anyone has recommendations, I would appreciate them deeply!

  7. The ban on #InternationalStudents would also impact #HarvardLaw's Juris Doctor [the graduate program for every #lawyer in the #US] & Doctor of Juridical Science programs. Each #JD class of 560 typically includes 45 to 50 intl students—about 9%—for a total of about 150 #students spread across 3 classes. The #SJD, which is for aspiring #legal #academics & typically has ~60 people enrolled, also draws heavily from overseas.

  8. Hey everyone, I know both Zain & his wife, Sophia. We all worked together for #SaveOldGrowth & #StopEcocide work here in #BritishColumbia. What's happened to Zain is unjust & I'm asking you all to please read this whole post & sign the #petition. Thanks for your time & help. Please boost for wider reach.

    * Last week, Prime Minister #MarkCarney revealed Lena Metledge Diab will serve as Canada’s new Immigration Minister.

    The first thing Diab should do as Minister is bring #ClimateActivist Zain Haq back to Canada by greenlighting his Temporary Residence Permit that has been processing since January.

    Zain was deported to Pakistan in January for climate activism that resulted in low-level mischief charges. He’d been living in Canada his entire adult life, and with his Canadian wife, Sophia Papp, since 2023.

    Sophia has been given the devastating choice to remain in Canada without her spouse or relocate to #Pakistan , where she doesn’t speak the language and faces significant barriers to her health and wellbeing.

    A mere 48 hours before Zain was deported, he and Sophia’s Spousal Sponsorship application was rejected by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) without substantive explanation.

    The couple’s lawyer, Randall Cohn, has stated that this eleventh-hour rejection is likely illegal. It also denied Zain and Sophia’s right to procedural fairness, since they didn’t have time to access the appeal process enshrined in the #BillOfRights.

    Zain and Sophia’s situation is reminiscent of the #unethical treatment of many #migrants in the U.S.

    #IRCC ’s last minute rejection of a young couple’s Sponsorship Application without substantive reason should raise alarm bells for anyone of conscience, but especially for those with a #legal background – and before getting into #politics , Minister Diab was a #lawyer in Halifax. That’s why we have to get Zain’s file on her desk as soon as possible. *
