Congrats to the LA 8

After two decades of contesting a politically-charged deportation order, Los Angeles-based Palestinian activists can finally rest. The government's case against them failed, and they will be allowed to stay in the country. The whole basis for their prosecution was participation in constitutionally-protected activities.

Congratulations to Khader Hamide and Michel Shehadeh, the last remaining persecuted LA members, their attorneys, and the great staffs of the Center for Constitutional Rights, National Lawyers Guild, and the ACLU of Southern California. This is a victory for justice.
