This is a laughable tweet and data point. Vivid seats is one of many brokers. Vivid seats has no way of knowing how many tickets are being resold on other platforms, and Vivid Seats has no idea who the fans are of the tickets they are buying.

There's no organized immigrant resistance to ICE. One of the most alarming things about these fash assholes playing military dress-up is that they're not doing it to arrest immigrants, they're armed up because they're expecting to fight American citizens... violently.

Yeah, if they bring this man back it opens up the possibility that they could bring other people back. Also reinforces the idea that there are actual limits on executive power, obviously bad for what they’re trying to do. Saying no would be more consistent with their ideas regarding executive power.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.
