JUST IN: A federal judge rules that the Trump administration must reinstate a policy to provide lawyers to people who are deemed mentally incompetent in deportation proceedings.

It was terminated without a legally persuasive reason, Judge Ali finds. https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/doc1/045111516055?caseid=280289&de_seq_num=209&magic_num=

This was a crime and someone should go to jail.
