NEW: We @immcouncil.org just joined @nipnlg.bsky.social and @ccrjustice.org to file a habeas petition seeking an order requiring the Trump admin to end the indefinite imprisonment of Edicson Quintero, sent to El Salvador on March 15 with NO DUE PROCESS. Like so many others, he deserves to be freed.

Let’s be perfectly clear… When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is ‘the role of Congress’ to remove him from office… Full stop. Any Questions?!

Eradicated? Like vermin or cockroaches? I'd be interested to hear the solution you have in mind for this, sir. Draft or final, just curious!

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

We are way past impeachment time

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

There we go. Support this man.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Very fair requests by attorneys for Abrego Garcia⬇️ Needed transparency for all the detainees unlawfully sent to El Salvador torture center. - compel government to produce written documents on agreement with El Salvador - require government officials to appear as witnesses before district court

Supreme Court upholds judge’s order that U.S. should facilitate return of man deported to El Salvador www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/s...

Five Harvard students or recent graduates had their visas revoked, apparently for exercising their constitutionally-protected right to free expression. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

More than $3 million in damage done to the US Capitol because of these 1/6 insurrectionists and THEY are owed a refund?!

This is what they're doing to Dr. Badar Khan Suri. This is not my America, and the world is aghast.

In all the outrage about what the White House is doing, please pause for a moment - and even LOWER YOUR PHONE - to pray for the souls of these four brave patriots. Sons of Illinois, California, Guam, and Michigan. They died for their country.

For whatever its worth, I called it.

VICTORY: A federal judge ruled Monday that Pennsylvania must count undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots, finding that a previous law rejecting such ballots violated the First and 14th Amendments. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Judge Chen: “It is evident that [Noem] made sweeping negative generalizations about Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries. Acting on the basis of a negative group stereotype and generalizing such stereotype to the entire group is the classic example of racism.” www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This hasn't gotten enough attention. Very effective questioning by Rep. @crow.house.gov in span of 3 mins 1. exposes how Hegseth endangered servicemembers' lives 2. shows that a scandal upon the scandal is the failure to take responsibility Crow is a U.S. Army veteran (Bronze Star Medal)

Supreme Court in Kendall v. U.S. ex rel. Stokes (1838): federal courts can order the Executive to make payments for which Congress has appropriated funds; the contrary "would be clothing the President with a power to control the legislation of Congress and paralyze the administration of justice."
