But in this case, the US federal government exploited a loophole that allowed them to seek the death penalty under a different statute, and to go forward even over the Navajo Nation’s opposition. — PolitiTweet.org

The federal death penalty statute requires the federal government to obtain the approval of the Navajo Nation before seeking the death penalty against one of its tribal members. — PolitiTweet.org

As a whole, the Navajo Nation opposes the death penalty. Family members of Lezmond Mitchell’s victims also opposed it. — PolitiTweet.org

Lezmond Mitchell, his two victims, and their families are all members of the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation is just that — a nation, separate from the US, with its own government and judicial system. — PolitiTweet.org

Lezmond Mitchell’s execution was the 4th federal execution this summer. The federal government has now executed more people this summer than it has in the last 57 years combined. — PolitiTweet.org

On Wednesday, August 26, the federal government executed Lezmond Mitchell at the Terre Haute Correctional Complex in Indiana. — PolitiTweet.org

Executions are always wrong. Last week’s execution of Lezmond Mitchell was a violation of tribal and human rights. Thread ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Today's athletes who are speaking out against racial injustice, from Naomi Osaka to Colin Kaepernick and the WNBA, are in good company. Protest — just like sports — is all-American. https://t.co/WqLoFunfGD — PolitiTweet.org

🗣️ Police surveillance cameras are disproportionately installed in Black and Brown neighborhoods. It's time to ban law enforcement use of this technology for good. https://t.co/g6KnGh4cyS — PolitiTweet.org

People of color, transgender, disabled, and incarcerated or formerly incarcerated people continue to face barriers to voting. We have more work to do to ensure that all people, regardless of gender identity, are able to exercise their voting rights. https://t.co/WZlcPl0IoD — PolitiTweet.org

"I still haven't fully come to terms with what it means that I was kidnapped by my government." Our client Mark Pettibone describes the night federal agents abducted him off the streets of Portland in an unmarked minivan. https://t.co/XK2yKEQ8C3 — PolitiTweet.org

The right to protest is a fundamental human right guaranteed to us by our Constitution. Here's what we need to know when we head out to exercise that right. Available spoken and signed. ⬇️ https://t.co/CVgBq0l2s8 — PolitiTweet.org

Nahom is one of the 70,000 people who have been detained and put at serious risk during this pandemic. You can read more about his story and those of the people we profiled here. https://t.co/fu8h6sALD5 — PolitiTweet.org
ACLU @ACLU
After two months of being detained by ICE, Nahom was able to secure a medical release from prison due to his Crohn’s disease. For him, freedom meant the ability to take care of his health and his family. Upon release, he went immediately to his parents’ home. https://t.co/dW1gYwN1D8 — PolitiTweet.org
ACLU @ACLU
Nahom received inadequate medical care, as the detention center ignored the risks of COVID-19. Only guards were given masks, and they did not wear them consistently. Detainees turned to a hunger strike to advocate for access to basic safety measures. https://t.co/9Va2Xbkhhp — PolitiTweet.org

But he now had a conviction on his record, so instead of allowing him to return home, immigration officials took Nahom to the York County Prison, a detention facility in Pennsylvania. https://t.co/i23Tu13P1j — PolitiTweet.org
ACLU @ACLU
As so often happens in the criminal legal system, Nahom took a plea bargain, thinking it would get him home to his family quickly. “I wasn’t thinking about immigration, I was just thinking about my parents back home. My mom’s 78, and my dad’s 91; I needed to take care of them.” https://t.co/ERG7Ta761w — PolitiTweet.org
ACLU @ACLU
When Nahom was 18, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Taking care of himself became a battle. Nahom needed pain and anxiety medications and struggled to get the care he needed. Ultimately, he was charged with prescription fraud. https://t.co/WpJlHsk1q3 — PolitiTweet.org

Nahom’s family left Eritrea when he was 8 years old, following years of war and civil unrest. Relatives living in the US were able to help them get status as lawful permanent residents. https://t.co/uURRi322tM — PolitiTweet.org

Nahom is a refugee and lawful permanent resident, originally from Eritrea. He has lived in the US for 20 years now. This is the story of how he ended up in immigrant detention during the pandemic. https://t.co/sHvKbf7CUH — PolitiTweet.org

Our client Christopher David, a US Navy veteran, asked federal agents in Portland why they weren’t upholding their oath to the Constitution. They beat and gassed him in response. He’ll now have to get his answer in court. https://t.co/XmfIPqoPS7 — PolitiTweet.org
