A convicted MS-13 killer known as "La Bruja" or "the witch" is free in California after a federal judge ruled ICE held him without a required bond hearing for five months.

Due process is scandalous for an alleged MS-13 killer, optional for an ICE agent who shot and lied.
“They'll tell you a bond hearing is due process when it lets an accused killer go, and tell you it's a formality when a governor just refuses to sign extradition papers for a cop who shot an unarmed man and lied about it. Same word, two different rulebooks — one for a suspect who gets a judge, one for a badge who gets a governor's silence. Pick which line you'd rather be standing in when it's your turn.”
“Look, these are completely different situations — one's a violent gang member released on a technicality by an activist judge, the other's a law enforcement officer entitled to the presumption of innocence like anyone else. The extradition thing, that's just federalism, states have rights, Minnesota can refile the paperwork anytime it wants. Did I just call not signing an extradition warrant "federalism"? That's... actually that's not bad, I might keep that one.”
