During ordinary times, this accommodation would reflect an appropriate respect for the constitutional #SeparationOfPowers. In dealing with this Administration, with its maximalist conception of executive authority & its contemptuous attitude toward the #judiciary, the Justices are being played for fools.

That, the govt argued, would intrude on the President’s sole power to conduct foreign relations. So the govt’s responsibility here is to, what, maybe issue #AbregoGarcia a Global Entry card to cut the #immigration line if he somehow turns up at a #US airport? This defiant position cannot stand—not if the rule of #law is to survive.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick has handily outlined #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s legal #immigration history to show that no matter how many times #Trump & his thugs say it, there is no proof #AbregoGarcia is or ever was a M-13 gang member.

This is absolutely terrifying.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on #Bukele’s feed — #Trump said to him: “home-grown criminals are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

#Bukele says he doesn’t have the authority. #Trump says he doesn’t have the authority. Trump also says even #SCOTUS is not permitted to decide the matter. Who the fuck do these guys think does have the authority?

Absolute nonsense. Total liars. It’s all bullshit.

In a filing ~45 mins after the deadline had passed, #DOJ lawyers wrote:

“In light of the insufficient amount of time afforded to review the Supreme Court’s Order following the dissolution of the administrative stay in this case, Defendants are not in a position where they 'can’ share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality.”

This is another escalation of the #Trump admin’s refusal to acknowledge the #equal #power of the #JudicialBranch.

Here is the document (exhibit 1, p.7) included in the court filing from the court’s website:

The #Trump admin invokes the #StateSecrets privilege, saying it will give Judge #Boasberg no more information about the #deportation flights to inform his decision about whether the govt defied his order.

Judge just said “#Nazis got better treatment under the #AEA”

They had hearing boards.

The people #Trump deported had no opportunity to apply for habeas. The planes started leaving 2 hours after Trump’s proclamation was signed.

The oral arguments in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals for #Trump’s #AlienEnemiesAct appeal is will be live streamed starting at 1:30pm ET today.

The US Court of Appeals for DC is still hearing #Trump’s appeal & request to remove Judge #Boasberg this afternoon at 1:30PM.

#Trump doubling (tripling? quadrupling?…) down on #illiberal #authoritarian #StochasticTerrorism toward the #judiciary even going after conservative #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts (see pic).

Holy freaking crap

The #Trump admin says that the #AlienEnemiesAct allows #Immigration Agents to enter the homes of ANY PERSON who they *believe* are subject to the declaration WITHOUT A WARRANT.
