Did Trump voter intend to submit to El Salvador’s jurisdiction?

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Please comment. We are not a “show me your papers” regime.

Spoiler: there will be no teeth. Watch the Administration flaunt this ruling.

Very good advice here for NIH and universities too. The Trump/MAGA lust for power can’t be satiated. If you do what they want, they just take more until they crush you. When they threaten you, the only way out is to fight. Find power and use it.

“His son spent days crying uncontrollably following his father’s disappearance, and has now stopped speaking.” I am broken just reading this.

“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”

OMG.

Tough language from JPMorgan tonight: “.. we view the full implementation of these policies as a substantial macro economic shock not currently incorporated in our forecasts. .. these policies, if sustained, would likely push the US and global economy into recession this year.”

That the DC police are doing Trump’s bidding is frightening

It is unfortunate that most Americans will not know or care about this issue until Trump persuades the Supreme Court to abolish agency independence, gains absolute power over the Federal Reserve, and crashes the economy. But that’s the direction in which we are ineluctably heading.

Now they’re coming for all women of reproductive age.

I’ve studied “los desaparecidos” (the disappeared) from Argentina, Chile, Peru, Guatemala, and Honduras. The regimes start with the students and the activists. They move onto the journalists and the lawyers. They target the priests and the nuns. Next, the grandmothers seeking the lost. Then, you.

ICE agents are attempting to enter DC public schools today, have been turned away at least one school so far.

Snort. Only the best people.

Odd that my legal education to assist asylees and refugees could lead to my disbarment

"I often tell my clerks, before they go out into the world to practice law, that the most valuable treasure they possess is their reputation and their credibility." Judge Boasberg, as reported by @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

In case you wondered, “Why the Dept of Education?”

How many dead women is too many dead women for Texas? open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

It is urgent to realize that the case in front of Boasberg is a golden strategic opportunity. Legally, and I bet politically. Their legal position is terrible, the underlying facts look worse every day, and their attacks on the judge are batshit. Don't shrink from this fight, embrace it.
