In the #Trump admin’s #SCOTUS application, it refers to Abrego Garcia as an “enemy alien.”
The government has claimed that Garcia was removed under the #Immigration & Nationality Act, NOT the #AlienEnemiesAct.
The Trump admin has also claimed he’s a member of M13 which is NOT covered by the #AEA, only Tren de Aragua.
The admin appealed Judge Xinis’s order to the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which on Mon declined to intervene immediately & stay the lower court ruling.
So the #Trump admin asked #SCOTUS to intervene on an emergency basis [I think we’re in double digits now for Trump’s SCOTUS emergency applications].

Abrego García has been detained at #CECOT, a mega-prison in #ElSalvador, since #ICE deported him last month, despite a court order forbidding it because he had fled death threats from gang members in his home country. #Trump officials have argued that they have no power to return Abrego García because he is now in the custody of El Salvador. [even though the US is paying El Salvador to incarcerate him & others there]
Urge your Congressmember to stand firm against the assaults on our #democracy, the #judiciary & the rule of #law by rejecting the #JUDGES Act, the #PEPPER Act, the #NORRA Act & The #NIAP Act today.

#NorthCarolina's #Republican majority Court of Appeals sided w/the GOP candidate in a suit contesting last year's State #SupremeCourt #election.
The decision could result in ~64k ballots being thrown out, handing the election to the Republican instead of the Democratic Justice who won.
The case will likely be appealed.

'We were lied to:' 2 women the #Trump admin tried to send to the #ElSalvador #CECOT prison speak out
The women’s accounts raise questions about the thoroughness of the administration’s vetting of migrants it has sent to the notorious prison.

Lawyers for #Venezuelan migrants accused of being members of a violent street gang asked #SCOTUS on Tues to continue a temporary block on #Trump’s use of a *wartime* powers #law to send hundreds of people to a prison in #ElSalvador.

#MaksymChernyak, 1 of 3 people to die at the facility since last Oct, was brought to Krome on Feb 2 & taken to a hospital just 2 wks later, after he began vomiting & having seizures, acc/to #ICE. The #Miami-Dade County ME said he died of "Complications of Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage" (AKA a stroke).
Multiple people have already died in #Trump’s custody
These are #DeathCamps
…44-yr-old #MaksymChernyak, a #Ukranian man suddenly fell ill & died at #Krome last month.

#Trump admin: “But there is no jurisdiction in habeas. Plaintiffs admit—as they must—that the United States does not have custody over Abrego Garcia.”
They are arguing they don’t have jdx because he’s in El Salvador. He’s in El Salvador because they *mistakenly* sent him there. And the US govt is PAYING #ElSalvador to hold him in the detention center there.
This makes absolutely no sense.
The #immigration judge had declared that Abrego Garcia was "more likely than not" to face persecution in #ElSalvador & the #Trump admin sent him there.
They even admit they knew, “although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error” & STILL they will not do anything to bring him back.

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

#MarcoRubio posted on social media that he sent 17 people to #CECOT in #ElSalvador overnight, he claims that they are all Tren de Aragua or MS-13 members.
If they were *deported* under the questionably legal (US is not at war) #AEA, then it was in violation of the court order. Otherwise they would have to have had final orders of removal.
This is f⁕⚠︎ed
#Musk’s “PAC” posted a video of one of his $1M recipient who straight up voted to get the money:
“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler, I’m from #Greenbay, #Wisconsin. I did exactly what #ElonMusk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends & family, vote, & now I have a million dollars.”
Judge #Boasberg has set a hearing date for April 3 at 3PM to hear #Trump admin’s argument for why they shouldn't be held in #contempt for violating his order to turn the planes around that were *deporting* supposed #Venezuelan gang members to a prison in #ElSalvador w/o #DueProcess.
ICYMI -
What to expect from a felon tyrant wannabe king who keeps getting stopped by a judiciary enforcing the #RuleOfLaw? That he continue to break laws and try to silence those who call it out and oppose him.
It’s also why he’s attacking law firms.
Brian Tyler Cohen and Glenn Kirschner run through this week’s judicial decisions refuting and rebuking the Trump regime’s attacks on individuals, Constitutional rights, and the rule of law.
Spoiler: Trump keeps acting without legal authority, the courts keep documenting it and ordering those unlawful actions stopped.
It’s no surprise he’s going after law firms and judges.
WTAF??
The #Trump admin says in its #SCOTUS filing requesting a stay of #Boasberg’s #AlienEnemiesAct #TRO that it can't confirm or deny whether #ElSalvador is complying with #UNCAT [#UnitedNations Convention Against #Torture] because doing so might damage its relationship with El Salvador.
AYFKM???
Ya see now, in order for this BS to be true, the individuals would have needed to go through #DueProcess for the ofcls to make the determination:
“That order is forcing the United States to harbor individuals whom national-security officials have identified as members of a foreign terrorist organization bent upon grievously harming Americans.“
