Wow, a Long Island jury awarded 2 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

There's more than one.

7. Suffolk is a large county in New York State, next to New York county which includes Manhattan etc.

This is huge. Great news.

9. Next to Nassau County where I grew up...

... Nassau County is in between Suffolk and Queens/Brooklyn (the latter two are physically but not mentally on Long Island ).

8. Perhaps if reich-wing counties are on the hook

for damages incurred by Trump's private police force, ICE, then some politicians in those counties will have some second thoughts about their Dear Leader.

Edit: That's a lot equivocation, but, from little cracks do mighty canyons grow.

10. K&R

Will SCOTUS overturn it on appeal?

15. I don't know for sure. It's a state case.

Maybe they could appeal to the NY State Supreme Court.

14. How many of them have been abducted again by ICE on 2025
