ICE arrests have surged in the DMV since Pres. Trump retook power — up 470% year-over-year in Virginia alone. Despite the admin's "worst of the worst" rhetoric, the majority of those arrested now have no criminal history beyond their immigration status. wusa9.com/article/news/d…

JordanOnRecord's tweet card. Maryland has also experienced a 290% increase in ICE arrests since Donald Trump took office, with many detained for lacking legal status rather than criminal acts.

Needless to say, extraordinarily unusual for the DOJ to voluntarily dismiss a case during trial. Less unusual since January: Motion to dismiss not signed by a single prosecutor on the case — only the acting U.S. attorney, who made his first appearance to file it.

At my direction @TheJusticeDept has dismissed charges against Dr. Kirk Moore. Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.
