Trump turned Jared Kushner's old office into a secret hoarding room: report

U.S. District Judges Mark Pittman and Reed O’Connor also sentenced seven others, who were convicted in March of playing a role in the nonfatal shooting of Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross outside the ICE facility as part of an “antifa” cell.

Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years for her role that night nearly one year ago. Autumn Hill, Zachary Evetts, Meagan Morris, Savanna Batten, and Elizabeth Soto all were sentenced to 50 years. Daniel Sanchez Estrada was sentenced to 30 years.

Hill, Evetts and Batton will also get two years of supervision upon release and Estrada will get one year.

All co defendants will have to “jointly and separately” pay $4,408.95 in restitution to the detention center.

Song, Hill, Evetts, Batten, Morris, Rueda, Elizabeth Soto and Ines Soto were convicted of rioting, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use and carry an explosive, and use and carry of an explosive — the explosive being fireworks.

Sanchez Estrada was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record. He and his wife, Rueda, were convicted of conspiracy to conceal documents.

Song was also convicted on three counts of discharging a firearm. Hill, Evetts, Morris and Rueda were acquitted of the attempted murder and firearm charges, which they faced for allegedly aiding and abetting Song.

But one moment stood out — and social media commentators were quick to discuss it.

"The face Usha Vance makes when JD touches her knee is a cry for help if I've ever seen one," Democratic strategist and entrepreneur Mike Nellis wrote on X.

"I have never in my entire life of reluctant heterosexuality had a man slap my knee like that. You can’t convince me these people know each other’s coffee orders let alone have been intimate together," user Casey, who identifies as a teacher and political scientist with more than 12,000 followers, wrote on X.

"Holy s---. This painfully awkward JD Vance moment is going viral. After being introduced by his wife, Vance taps her knee and says, 'Good to see ya.' I’ve seen more chemistry during the Iran negotiations. This guy will never be president," Call to Activism, an anti-MAGA group with 1.2 million followers, wrote on X.

" J.D. Vance has begun his 2028 presidential run. And for our sake, I hope he keeps himself in the spotlight—because so far, things are going swimmingly — for us," Jennifer Taylor Skinner, political analyst, host and founder of Electorette, wrote on Threads.

"Taking the rest of the day off to process JD Vance knee-slap-gate," Betches News wrote on Threads.

Judge Robert L. Wilkins, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, was the lone judge to dissent from the ruling, which he argued “violates due process.” His two judicial colleagues were both appointed by President Donald Trump.

“A procedure that can result in persons being deported pursuant to the expedited removal statute without even being asked how long they have been in the country might satisfy due process for persons encountered at the border, but it is woefully inadequate for persons encountered in the interior of the country,” Wilkins wrote in his dissent.

Last August, the Trump administration was thwarted in its attempt to nationally expand its expedited deportation process, which the Times noted was “typically reserved for people apprehended shortly after crossing the southern border.” A lower court ruled that the expansion “likely violated due process rights and risked wrongful detentions,” the Times reported.

That decision was overturned on Tuesday, however, giving way to the long-sought authority to expedite the deportation of millions of migrants across the country.

“It is not a requirement that the government explain how the individual might prevail,” reads the court’s majority opinion authored by Judge Justin R. Walker.
