The president did not invoke the Insurrection Act yesterday. He’s instead relying on a theory of inherent constitutional power that is far more limited, explains Chris Mirasola. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

The government is returning Abrego Garcia to the US where he will face criminal charges. In other words, due process, including an opportunity to defend himself in court. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

NEW: In the case over Trump's unconstitutional order targeting the WilmerHale law firm, WilmerHale's lawyers at Clement & Murphy had to go back to court, asking the court to amend its judgment because DOJ is being appallingly intransigent. DOJ's Richard Lawson is really skating on thin ice here.

If the causation is here — if he really did resign over this — that’s huge. That is very indicative of some extremely questionable decisions.

Likely in light of the situation in LA, ICE leadership just put out a pretty outrageous message to politicians: “I’m demanding they stop.” He specifically calls out Mayor Wu and Hakeem Jeffries.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

BREAKING: Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States to face criminal charges, according to three sources familiar: abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

So glad I got to see Lisa Stephen Friday perform tonight in DC! World Pride is it!

Louisiana Sen. Kennedy on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social suggesting Harvard should have a monitor to determine if it’s breaking fed’l law—this with the administration walking back monitors for police depts & jails we know are breaking the law, but they’re giving a pass.

An immigration judge on Thursday granted bond to a Massachusetts high school student who was arrested on his way to volleyball practice last weekend.

Reading is fundamental!

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

The opening of Judge Boasberg’s opinion:

🚨🚨🚨 In the last two hours, the Trump admin: - Banned all immigrant visas from 19 countries, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela - Banned all student and researcher visas to Harvard - Colluded with Texas to kick 20,000 undocumented college students off of in-state tuition.

NEWS A federal judge granted permission for Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyer to seek sanctions against the government. The original motion requesting sanctions is sealed. We'll continue following the case on www.allrisenews.com

Harvey Milk served his country in the U.S. Navy. He was an early and powerful leader of the modern gay rights movement. Stripping his name from a Navy ship—and doing so deliberately during Pride Month—is a shameful insult to his legacy & to LGBTQ+ Americans who serve. abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...

A program to relocate Afghans who worked with U.S. service members during two decades of war is being targeted by the White House for shutdown by the fall. Advocates fear hundreds of thousands of Afghans awaiting resettlement in the U.S. could be shut out if Operation Enduring Welcome is defunded.

Bigots in his neighborhood burned his house down, killed his dogs, and murdered him . . . all for being gay in Texas. So don't you dare complain that there's no reason for #LGBT people to have a Pride holiday that announces our right to live safely and openly. www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

🚨Heard about this earlier today; ICE is expanding to arrests at ATD (alternatives to detention) case management check-ins. Dozens of people got texts to show up weeks in advance of their normal check-in, and ended up detained. Three women let go were told to come back tomorrow with their kids.

Another judge just ordered govt to reveal its deal with Bukele to another alien sent to CECOT. A magistrate judge in Columbus, GA (MDGa) did so in the case of Venezuelan EDQC, sent to CECOT on 3/15 without opportunity to raise a fear-of-torture claim. 1/5 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@nickofferman.bsky.social is the absolute best 💜 Be more like him, and less like that weirdo he quoted

I fully anticipate some type of DADT revival, and the question is how do you reconcile a fighting force of honorably serving members. Ask anyone who has been in combat, they can care less who you chose to love, they care if you can fight. 👏WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE 👏

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

Jesus, this is awful.
