Snapped this pic of DHS conferring with the IL state police just before ICE attacked the crowd, while state and county police assisted them. ICE said, "This is your first and only warning" and then instantly attacked. We were not in the road at that time. They just wanted to assault us and film it.

There is before the Court an application on behalf of a putative class of detainees seeking an injunction against their removal under the Alien Enemies Act. The matter is currently pending before the Fifth Circuit. Upon action by the Fifth Circuit, the Solicitor General is invited to file a response to the application before this Court as soon as possible. The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court. See 28 U. S. C. Β§1651(a). Justice Thomas and Justice Alito dissent from the Court's order. Statement from Justice Alito to follow.
BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trumpβs Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court.
Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.
INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGEβd, and there is no one left to send.
