JUST IN: Judge Boasberg has given the Trump administration another day to either disclose more details about its flights to El Salvador or invoke the state secrets privilege.

What Judge Boasberg is doing here is building in insurance against appellate review. He wants plaintiffs to be able to tell the DC Circuit that the district judge gave DOJ every opportunity to comply with his orders.
I know it's frustrating, but that's what is going on.
Or what? What’s the consequence if they don’t? Seriously- I’m not being snarky. They don’t care about the consequences. He can ask the U.S. Marshalls to arrest and incarcerate for contempt but all trump has to do is say the word and they’re out… right?
Our tax dollars are paying for these people’s imprisonment with zero legal process.

What is Congress going to do about this?
🚨 the Trump admin will pay the govt of Pres. Nayib Bukele $6 million for one year of services

That’s how El Salvador does it. @elsalvadorsv.bsky.social it works there because we had real terrorist killing en mass BUT we should never allow El Salvador to accept non-Salvadoran citizens to be put in that prison!! The other countries need to sue El Salvador and the US in the international court
Push it off until "tomorrow at noon" never comes and all the prisoners are dead and then it doesn't matter I guess. How many extra days do they get for playing stupid? This is like when I would send a file that couldn't be opened to my professor on purpose to get extra time to finish a paper.
What I want to know is how much are we the taxpayers paying El Salvador for each prisoner?? Do we get proof of life every day they want payment? 🤔 or did they take them for free labor?
Do you have a source for that? I’m not doubting you, a lot of this is money flowing back and forth. I think the U.S. getting paid per prisoner is also a way to sell this scheme to the cult.
That order seems like he is giving in to their bullying. He knows damn well it has nothing to do with “state secrets,” since they were posting it all over social media the entire weekend!
I'm all ears to hear how national security is endangered by telling a judge what times an airplane flight departed and arrived sometime about a week in the past.
It's being nice because the goal of the government is to enrage the judge, so he does something that can be used on appeal to claim a bias against them.
Why???? This has happened EVERY TIME. The judges give Trump's goons all the time they want to come up with a story, and then accepts the story and justice loses. Why are Trump's goons special? Why are they above the law?
WHY?
They need to STOP giving these assholes an extra inch when we know damn well they are just going to continue cheating and lying for miles and miles.
It's a game of chicken. How embarrassing for our government. Actually, I don't think they want to disclose the information because it will be embarrassing in general.
The “legal system” is still doing it. Different rules for Trump, Musk, & their criminal cronies. More time, more deference, more leeway. It’s sickening, disgusting, disgraceful, unAmerican. What a failure.
Pity the lawyer who has to say to the judge, in chambers, "it's a state secret because his highness says it is. And please will you hold my sword while I fall on it."
Trump/Musk are lying, degenerate, mentally unstable pieces of excrement. Do not let them get away with this totally 🐂💩 claim. Just tell them both to go f* ck themselves!

Trump's Jan 6th court cases dragged on for 5 freaking yrs when his FAT A$$ shld have been Jailed!
Then he partnered with that other A$$hole Musk and rigged 2024 - then all his crimes 'disappeared'
😡🤬
1. Submit proof you did not obey and order and get prosecuted for contempt
or
2. Submit proof of state secrets claim that you do not have so u can loose all over again..
Since DOJ career staff is not volunteering for option 1 my bet is its option 2.

Two.
Two and a half. Two and three quarters. Two and seven eighths.
I know we want immediate results, but this is how to avoid being overturned on appeal, right?

They will invoke the state secrets privilege and say that it's because trump said so. 🙄

Buckle up, judges. We're going to need you to be ruthless.
It would seem in dangerous for Bondi to assert SSP and potentially have to disclose the evidence in camera?
