Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador Earlier today, I discussed one of the “sleeper” immigration cases that had largely flown below the radar: D.V.D.

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador"

Astonishing.

Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

I want to take you seriously, but it's hard to do so when you put an apostrophe in "oligarch's" when you don't mean to make it possessive, but merely plural. It's a misspelling and a very basic one at that.

...polled other Texan journalist emigres in New York I am sure you would uncover many similar experiences. They love to hate on us. That said, I hope you stay in New York at least for awhile. It is a great city full of great people, the self-important ninnies at CJR notwithstanding. You will prevail

...have been of extraordinary importance to 11 people, or thereabouts. I was baffled by it, too, though I carried on, found another job, and had a long career as a journalist and managing editor at publications in and around NYC. Remember Molly Ivins had her issues with the NYTimes, and if you ...

Mr. Chan, regional bias is real. I say this as a Texan who came to New York more than 30 years ago to write for high-end prestigious non profit, who was pushed out after only a few months. I don't read CJR but I am a graduate of the J-school there and I can only imagine that what was at stake to ...

Also this: "What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.”

...either to discuss military activity in a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF, or to use approved government equipment."

(contd) "According to Goldberg, the use of Signal may also have violated the Espionage Act, which establishes how officials must handle information about the national defense. The app is not approved for national security use, and officials are supposed ....

from Heather Cox Richardson: "The decision to steer around government systems was possibly an attempt to hide conversations, since the app was set to erase some messages after a week and others after four weeks. By law, government communications must be archived...."

No, no. The point is not what was actually discussed in the conversation. it was a meeting with several (a dozen?) senior military people and COULD HAVE veered off into territory that would could conceivably put US lives at risk, if it were intercepted. Hegseth told them they were clear on security

Why were they running a chat group on a commercial messaging app like Signal? They're supposed to use special military channels, that's according to the Espionage Act. In any military planning session, American lives could be on the line.

I'm thinking they run their chats on a commercial messaging app like Signal so it's easier for Putin to intercept all the intelligence

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.

OMG!!!!!

And he is saying that Ukraine should never have fought to defend itself, and all of Putin's demans are merely the demands of a reasonable man. WTF???? I have to assume he's gone completely to the dark side. Has anybody been following this? Do you have any idea what happened to him?

However I never thought he was entirely bad. I figured he was just conflicted, because he had a big job and probably pressure on him from all camps. But in the past year or so he has given interview to Tucker Carlson and come out squarely behind Trump. If you go on Youtube you will find many videos

I've been aware of Sachs for many years. When I was working with an alumni climate change group @ Columbia, we had a few meetings with Sachs, who was then running the Earth Institute @ Columbia. To be honest, I was always a little skeptical of him because of his involvement in early GMOs development

When did Jeffrey Sachs of the Earth Institute go over to Trump?

Would you be interested in signing a letter to Columbia University from j-school alums that encourages them to honor students First Amendment rights? I am thinking it would be a good effort esp if it included folks from many different class years. I don't want to mention Palestine/Gaza, just the FA

What was your year? I was class of '97.

I don't disagree with you. Bernie called for a shutdown and I generally go along with Bernie, so I think Schumer probably made the wrong choice. What I'm saying now is that we don't need to spend energy pushing people out of the party. We need to work on bringing people in, including centrists

I read the J school's statement and was disappointed that it did not call out the Columbia administration for failing to recognize students' first amendment rights. I think it's shocking that Columbia has rescinded diplomas for 22 students b/c of their nonviolent political speech.

I disagree with the "let's punish Schumer" agenda. I agree that he made the wrong call, but we have expressed our anger and now we all need to move on. We can't afford to splinter off into different groups. And Schumer represents a large swath of more centrist Dems. You lost, accept it and move on.

Please drop the "let's punish Schumer" drill. I agree that he made a bad call, but he has explained himself, and we have vented our anger, now let's move on. Unity is important right now. More important than anything.

Honestly, Schumer made a bad call but it's a waste of time and energy to keep dwelling on it. We need a united front, not a splintered one. Let's move on. The pols can't fix this anyway, we need a UNITED front. We need real civil disobedience not protesting behind yellow police tape, with millions.

Another other Columbia J-school alums in this thread? Ifso please dm me through the chat. Thanks.
