"It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. . . The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order."

Hang. Them. All.

How utterly terrifying.

Guys, it's really simple. If RFK Jr. is really as healthy as he claims, and his claims about infectious diseases are true, then just give him some ebola and zero treatment and let his immune system fight it.

Listen to the expert....

Attorney representing a student protester detained by federal immigration agents Amir Makled sat down with All Things Considered host Juana Summers to describe his experience and what it could mean for other attorneys who are going against the wishes of the Trump administration.

Contrast that with the majority opinion in J.G.G. There is literally no discussion in the opinion of what the government has to show to obtain the relief it sought (vacatur of Chief Judge Boasberg’s TROs). There’s no discussion of how Boasberg’s rulings cause “irreparable harm” to the government. There’s no suggestion that balancing the equities even matters—let alone an attempt to actually balance them (which might well have augured in favor of a different result). It’s just two pages about the merits of whether the plaintiffs’ claims could proceed under the Administrative Procedure Act or whether they had to be brought via habeas—and one paragraph admonishing the dissenters for the tone of their dissents. Nor does Justice Kavanaugh’s concurrence fill that gap. One would simply have no idea, reading the opinion, what the government had to show or why it was able to do so.

Read @stevevladeck.bsky.social on the bizarre shortcomings of the majority's unsigned opinion in the Venezuelan migrant decision. An actual opinion is better than no opinion, I guess, but is it too much to ask that the opinion make sense? www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-140-...

Operation Condor vibes (transnational terror torture and psychological warfare consortium). Headed by US-backed Pinochet.

Absolutely fucking insane. Insane. Each of the Justices in the majority should be fucking ashamed.

John, once again, gives an air-tight argument. This is just about hatred.

ORDER GRANTING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs' Motion for Injunctive Relief pursuant to Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, along with supporting memoranda, reply briefs, and the record in this case. ECF No. 6. The Defendants named in this suit are the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General of the United States, the United States Secretary of State, the Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), the Acting Executive Associate Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, and the Director of ICE's Baltimore Field Office (collectively, the "Defendants"). ECF No. 1. Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia ("Abrego Garcia"), a native of El Salvador, was granted withholding of removal in 2019, which prohibited his removal to El Salvador. The record reflects that Abrego Garcia was apprehended in Maryland without legal basis on March 12, 2025, and, without further process or legal justification, was removed to El Salvador by March 15, 2025. Abrego Garcia is detained in El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo or "CECOT"). Plaintiffs contend that his removal violated 8 U.S.C.

§ 1231(b)(3)(A) and its implementing regulations, as well as the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), and other applicable legal protections. Based on the record before the Court, I find that this Court retains subject matter jurisdiction. I further find that: (1) Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits because Abrego MalGarcia was remove El Salvador in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically,U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(A), and without any legal process; (2) his continued presence in El Salvador for obvious reasons, constitutes irreparable harm; (3) the balance of equities and the public interest weigh in favor of returning him to the United States; and (4) issuance of a preliminary injunction without further delay is necessary to restore him to the status quo and to avoid ongoing irreparable harm resulting from Abrego Garcia's unlawful removal. For the reasons stated above, the Court hereby DIRECTS Defendants to return Abrego Garcia to the United States no later than 11:59 PM on April 7th, 2025. A memorandum opinion further setting forth the basis for this ruling will be issued in due course. Accordingly, it is this 4th day of April, 2025, by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, hereby ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiffs' Motion (ECF No. 6), construed as one for preliminary injunctive relief, is GRANTED; 2. Defendants are hereby ORDERED to facilitate and effectuate the return of Plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States by no later than 11:59 PM on Monday, April 7, 2025; 3. This preliminary relief is issued to restore the status quo and to preserve Abrego Garcia's access to due process in accordance with the Constitution and governing immigration

statutes; 4. The Clerk is DIRECTED to TRANSMIT copies of this Order to the parties. Paula Xinis United States District Judge

NEW: Maryland federal judge Paula Xinis orders the Trump administration to "facilitate and effectuate the return" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—the man the govt admits it erroneously deported to El Salvador—by no later than Monday.

practice. In fact, the timing of this case is entirely consistent with prior public corruption prosecutions. All of this suggests that the “appearances of impropriety” rationale is not just thin, but pretextual. As for the immigration enforcement rationale, to the extent that DOJ suggests that Mayor Adams is unable to assist with immigration enforcement while this case is ongoing, such an assertion is similarly unsubstantiated. Indeed, shortly after DOJ made the decision to seek dismissal of the case—and while the Indictment was still pending—the Mayor announced that he would permit Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to operate at the Rikers Island Jail Complex, an act that appears to be contrary to New York City law. In other words, the record does not show that this case has impaired Mayor Adams in his immigration enforcement efforts. Instead, it shows that after DOJ decided to seek dismissal of his case, the Mayor took at least one new immigration-related action consistent with the preferences of the new administration. Everything here smacks of a bargain: dismissal of the Indictment in exchange for immigration policy concessions. Taking a step back from the particulars of this case, DOJ’s immigration enforcement rationale is both unprecedented and breathtaking in its sweep. DOJ cites no examples, and the Court is unable to find any, of the government dismissing charges against an elected official because doing so would enable the official to facilitate federal policy goals. And DOJ’s assertion that it has “virtually unreviewable” license to dismiss charges on this basis is disturbing in its breadth, implying that public officials may receive special dispensation if they are compliant with the incumbent administration’s policy priorities. That suggestion is fundamentally incompatible with the basic promise of equal justice under law.

Judge Dale Ho dismisses charges against Eric Adams WITH prejudice—denying the Trump administration leverage over Adams—and has harsh words for DOJ's corrupt bargain, which is "fundamentally incompatible with the basic promise of equal justice under law."

The attorneys making these arguments in court/court filings are a disgrace to the profession. Resign. You are not worthy.

But what is being done about it?? These are flagrant constitutional violations on various levels. What are Democrats doing to fight this? We need action!

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
