For these reasons, the government's motion for a stay is DENIED, the government's request for a writ of mandamus is also DENIED, and the administrative stay entered by this Court is hereby VACATED. The government is hereby ORDERED to comply with the district court's transfer order within one week of the date of this opinion. Accordingly, the district court's April 18, 2025 Order is hereby amended as follows: "To support the Court's resolution of these issues, the Court orders that Ms. Öztürk be physically transferred to ICE custody within the District of Vermont no later than May 14, 2025."

NEW — A federal court has *denied* the Trump admin's efforts to stop the transfer of Rumeysa Ozturk to Vermont.

Court orders she be there by May 14.

Trump admin was trying to keep her in Louisiana.

Rumeysa has not been accused of a crime. She co-wrote a campus op-ed.

US Government Websites Are Disappearing in Real Time A growing number of US government websites have gone offline as of Saturday, including several related to USAID and others focused on youth programs, Africa, and more.

NEW: USAID source says staff are scrambling to save archived copies of US regulations before they're gone & are being actively locked out of systems, including a publicly available database of USAID documents.

WIRED has built software to systematically check the status of 1,374 government domains.

New—Israel denying 11 American physicians & nurses from leaving Gaza. They're from Texas, Florida, Colorado, Ohio, Arizona.

Some have surgeries for Americans back in the US they may miss.

Source says Israel gave no reason for denial—nor for doctors supposed to *enter* yesterday.

Rather than say “we’re not N*zi’s” conservatives are posting stills of democratic politicians with their arm at an upward angle because they know the former would upset a considerable chunk of their fanbase

Why Are Democrats Voting for a GOP Bill to Deport People Accused, Not Convicted, of Minor Crimes? John Fetterman, Ruben Gallego, and other Senate Democrats are not telling the truth about the bill they support and how it will destroy innocent lives.

After a humiliating loss despite tacking to the right on immigration, Democrats are now empowering Trump’s anti-immigrant regime they’ve claimed to oppose, by supporting the Laken Riley Act.

Some are so zealous to the point of either not reading the bill they’re supporting—or lying about it.

Okay but if I did the substance I would be disciplined about it

The US gave Israel 30 days to improve in Gaza. It failed. The US says it won't respond because Israel "took steps."

In those 30 days, Israel banned UNRWA; barred people from going home in north Gaza; bombed an oxygen station; attacked a UNICEF car; and—

Please watch, share and see whole clip below

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year.

It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land.

It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells.
