Hello and welcome Daily beans, daily beans.

Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Thursday, December 25th, 2025.

Today, Judge Crenshaw has canceled Kilmar Abrago's criminal trial and ordered the government to prove they didn't vindictively and selectively prosecute him.

The Justice Department says it just found like a million new documents in the Epstein files from the Southern District of New York,

so it's going to be a little while longer. A federal judge has ruled that Trump's revocation of

lawyer Mark Zade's security clearance was illegal. Top Heritage Foundation officials are fleeing to Mike Pence's

nonprofit and ICE plans to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses across the country. I'm Alison Gill.

And I'm Dana Goldberg.

Hello, welcome back, my friend. Hello. Thanks for covering me while I'm gone. I missed you. I had a

lovely week. I would love to say it was relaxation, but do you ever just need a vacation from your

vacation after you're done? You're like, why didn't I relax more? Yeah, yeah, no, I know exactly how that is.

We all missed you so much. The news is not to be, it's not meant to be faced alone. I don't know. No, it is definitely, I get it. I get it. Even on those rare days when you're not with me, I'm like, oh, man, it's just much more enjoyable when you're with me. Yeah, and everybody was like, oh, I love the new beans talk. It's like having you guys in my living room.

And then, you know, that's off. That's dark until Monday. But you're back. You're back here for a day. And I'm super glad that you are. Me too. Glad you got to rest and recharge. Somebody else who gets to spend their holiday at home is Kilmara Brago. Amazing. Yeah, because

Paul is Seney's, Judge Seney's who's like, yeah, no, I'm extending my, you may not re-arrest him

restraining order to ICE. But Judge Crenshaw, the judge in his criminal trial, because remember,

there's two cases here. There's his civil case with Judge Seney's and his criminal case with Judge Crenshaw

in Tennessee. He canceled the trial. Wow. Yeah, he's like, it's canceled. And basically,

he issued this order saying that once Mr. Abrago made a prima facist showing of vindictive and

selective prosecution, the burden shifted to the

government to prove they're not vindictively prosecuting them. Which is going to be nearly impossible,

if not entirely impossible. So this judge has boxed them the fuck in, and I love it.
