Welp they're doing the Roosevelt Reservation crazy strategy, giving the military "jurisdiction" over a 60-foot-wide stretch of land from CA to AZ, authorizing troops to detain migrants for "trespassing on military property," thus trying to bypass the Posse Commitatus Act. It's bad and dumb, folks.

One man in CECOT "doesn’t even know that his child’s been born," his lawyer said. Another has muscular dystrophy affecting his right arm, per a court filing. The facts fit "every definition of an enforced disappearance under international law," an attorney told me. www.huffpost.com/entry/cecot-...

Update: I just listened to the audio of this. Trump: “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court.” Reporter: And the lower court as well…? Trump: “Oh no, no. I’m not talking about the lower court. I have great respect for the Supreme Court.”

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

This is bullshit—of course the US could apply diplomatic pressure to have him returned—but if it is allowed to stand, the executive branch has the power to disappear people permanently without any sort of due process. That in turn will be the end of all other constitutionally guaranteed rights.

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

I'm exhausted just contemplating the coming fight over the meaning of "facilitate." DOJ has previously argued that in immigration law, "facilitating" "does not require [the US to take] any affirmative steps." By DOJ's reading, it means permitting the person to return, not enabling it.

Investors and analysts are seeing Trump’s move to exempt electronics from tariffs as a capitulation to China - which they like because it de-escalates. So they’re suggesting lower chances of a recession. But capitulation is the right word.

I’m curious if Roberts genuinely thought that Trump would comply with his 9-0 decision. Because John Roberts’ level of credulity is going to determine a lot of outcomes in the very near future.

The United States Supreme Court, as packed by the Federalist Society, as supported by the Randy Barretts and Ilya Shapiros and Jonathan Turleys of America, is suited to squabble over what “facilitate” means but not to achieve justice or protect or defend the United States Constitution.
