a blue state governor needs to offer him asylum and tell Trump to pound sand.

Newsom has enjoyed being the focus of the Eye of Trump so far; interesting things will happen when the eye turns on Pritzker and Hochul for real

Do you really think there are many cops in Maryland willing to possibly get shot by ICE to follow an illegal order from the governor to protect an undocumented immigrant?

You implied it with the followup that I replied to. But the question stands with literally any blue state.

You know who has the chance to to the funniest thing, should Kilmar end up in Uganda? An up and coming politician with a solid network IN UGANDA?

Newsom is a troll who wants to annoy Trump. But Pritzker – while I don't always agree with his politics – is genuinely concerned about Trump's authoritarian consolidation, which he frequently compares to Nazi Germany. So offering asylum to a political prisoner would be very in character for him.

Senator Van Hollen has been excellent on this so far and I hope he leans on Gov. Moore like you or I wouldn't fucking BELIEVE about this

I don’t think a state has that power. Abrego García needs to get political asylum in Canada. And he should do it this weekend.

Yeah, the Hegseths would love to have an excuse to play crusader on us. CNs hate mainliners more than atheists I wish I had a basement to hide him. He's suffered so much because these awful fascist men would rather torture and kill for their fun. There is no policy other than brute sadism.
