Returning after deportation may be illegal, but you don't enforce it here for the same reason you don't arrest a raped sex worker.

Ever since law school, I've always thought the actual case or controversy requirement of federal litigation was extremely stupid. We can't challenge zombie laws that are unconstitutional until someone actually decides to abuse it and by then it's too late.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidtβs family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) stating, "Time to impeach judges who violate the law." Below, a retweeted post from Rep. Andy Ogles (@RepOgles) reads: "I just formally introduced articles of impeachment against RADICAL LGBTQ ACTIVIST U.S. District Judge John Bates. His attempt to block President Trumpβs order to remove webpages containing resources for 'gender-affirming care' from government sites is appalling." The tweet includes four images showing excerpts from a resolution document titled "H. RES." The document contains line-numbered text detailing the impeachment of Judge John Bates for "high crimes and misdemeanors," citing his alleged obstruction of a presidential order related to gender-affirming care information on government websites. The text is partially visible across four sections, outlining the basis for impeachment and resolution statements. The screenshot shows engagement metrics, including "523.4K views" and a timestamp of "2:14 PM - Feb 24, 2025."
Elon wants to impeach judges for stopping him. This rep. called the judge a predator.
They're spinning up the stochastic terror machine to threaten the judge into submission.
