I know of a felon, one convicted over 30 times that because of “court rulings” was never sentenced by a blue state so-called “judge”. Do you think this administration might want to send that guy to El Salvador as one of the first citizen ‘deportees’?

Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

COLLINS: You said that if SCOTUS said someone needed to be returned you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago TRUMP: Why don't you just say, 'isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?' That's why nobody watches you anymore.

Tomorrow’s hearing; Judge : I have some preliminary questions: 1) Can Counsel for Govt tell the correct time? 2) Is Mr. Abrego Garcia alive? How do YOU know? 3) What year in law school were you taught that an order of a federal district court is only an optional friendly suggestion?

It’s 10 minutes past the court ordered deadline for a status report. Failing to meet the deadline is such an extraordinary petty and disrespectful defiance of the authority of the federal district court judge.

So if Trump has contracted with El Salvador to imprison/enslave a certain number of American sent prisoners for a year (maybe) what happens to those prisoners after a year and how would we ever know? Or are they being imprisoned and enslaved for the rest of their lives however, short those may be?

The U.S. says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. El Salvador also says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. It’s obvious bullshit and depraved to the core.

Maine, like many states, passed Personal Liberty Laws to resist the Fugitive Slave Act in the 1850s. They did what they could to make sure state officials weren't complicit in an unjust federal law. Surely today states need to do the same to protect their residents against being sent to El Salvador?

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

We are at a dangerous, dangerous moment in US history, where the President of the United States is threatening to send US citizens to be imprisoned by a foreign ally, and the foreign ally is saying it won't respect an US court orders to release people that it's holding.

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.

Genuinely amazing that Trump has devised a tariff regime that exempts phones manufactured in China but hammers anyone assembling electronics in the USA using parts made in China. Cannot wait to see how his boosters explain that decision as genius.

Predictable result of Trump 2.0 arbitrarily detaining Canadian, British, German, Australian, etc. nationals. ICE & border protection in the US have been empowered to act arbitrarily & without accountability. Europeans are logically responding by taking their money elsewhere.
