Joined a large, passionate, and vocal crowd in front of the Cadman Plaza Federal Courthouse in Brooklyn tonight, where a hearing was underway for immigrants who had been detained today at JFK Airport in NYC. It turned out to be a pivotal hearing. Federal Judge Ann Donnelly, an Obama appointee, ruled that the 100 to 200 people who were detained today at U.S. airports could NOT be immediately sent be sent home. It's unclear whether Federal authorities will try to put these poor people in detention, but Judge Donnelly said that if that is attempted she would be glad to see the plaintiffs in court again. This is what it sounded like outside the courthouse after the ACLU attorneys had announced the judge's decision and were walking through the crowd after leaving the courthouse. This is what real America and real democracy looks and sounds like, folks. Please join and contribute to the ACLU. They are going to be out there in the forefront of the battle against Trump. This is going to get very, very bad, people. We have to throw all the sand we can into the gears and bring down this government. For every happy moment like this there will be a hundred acts of cruelty by Trump and the Republicans. There's no compromise with racism and facism--all you get is a little less racism and a little less facism.
