Under immigration law, a conviction is not necessary to support removal. Pretty much just being accused is enough (it’s a bit more complicated than that, but that’s pretty much the case)

Judge Peterson on the front page of the RJ today. I really like her, but that article is not flattering. The bigger problem is that the RJ clearly has it out for her this election cycle.
I agree. She made a decision to protect juror integrity, then she got more information (and it seems concessions from the media) and changed her decision accordingly. I don’t have strong feelings about Peterson either way, but reading between the lines it seems like she made the jurors, rather than the media, her top priority and the RJ is unfairly roasting her for it.
RIP Scott Adams.
Meh. I come to bury Dilbert; not to praise him.
Thoughts & prayers
Good luck to the women of Iran.
And not just the women, but the men and the children too.
RIP Bobby Weir!
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
The title reminds me of my girlfriend’s vajayjay
What’s the problem? If you are in jail, you should be deported
Jail ≠conviction
I wasn’t aware that conviction was the standard for a deportation

Or maybe, just maybe, she’s in over her head. The bar for the bench is low, but not nonexistent.
