Here we go

#Trump asked #SCOTUS on Friday to lift a temporary order blocking him from using a 1798 law to swiftly deport *alleged* #Venezuelan gang members as part of his 2-month-old admin's hardline approach to #immigration.

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.

NOTICE INVOKING STATE SECRETS PRIVILEGE The Executive Branch hereby notifies the Court that no further information will be provided in response to the Court's March 18, 2025 Minute Order based on the state secrets privilege and the concurrently filed declarations of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security. This is a case about the President's plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate, and reinforced by longstanding statute, to remove from the homeland designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States. The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it. Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address. Accordingly, the states secrets privilege forecloses further demands for details that have no place in this matter, and the government will address the Court's order to show cause tomorrow by demonstrating that there is no basis for the suggestion of non-compliance with any binding order.

Holy crap

In a new affidavit in #AEA by someone turned around in #ElSalvador, they swear the following:

"Within a couple of minutes of take off I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"

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.

Just released a 37-page ruling from Chief Judge James #Boasberg, denying the #Trump administration request to vacate its TROs preventing the government from enforcing the #AlienEnemiesAct against #Venezuelans.

No one subject to the #AEA can be deported without a hearing.

They were arrested during routine #ICE check-ins. Then they disappeared.
 #Deportation proceedings are often shrouded in secrecy. But lawyers say the lack of information about the #Venezuelan migrants deported under the #AlienEnemiesAct is nearly unprecedented.

Unlawful Nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country! These people are Lunatics, who do not care, even a little bit, about the repercussions from their very dangerous and incorrect Decisions and Rulings. Lawyers endlessly search the United States for these Judges, and file lawsuits as quickly as they find them. It is then the obligation of Law abiding Agencies of Government to have these "Orders" overturned. The danger is unparalleled! These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency, without having to attain 80 Million Votes. They want all of the advantages with none of the risks. Again, a President has to be allowed to act quickly and decisively about such matters as returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE. It is our goal to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and such a high aspiration can never be done if Radical and Highly Partisan Judges are allowed to stand in the way of JUSTICE. STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!

The national security implications also support immediate review. The Court's orders, global in scope, makes further removals of TdA members impossible during this critical period. Even when a person does not pose a threat, removal delayed tends to become removal denied. Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 696 (2001). That is true a fortiori when dealing with some of the most dangerous criminals on Earth. Plaintiffs agree immediate appeal is available from an order removing an alien "to a country where he alleged" he will face harm (Opp. at 7, citing Belbacha, 520 F.3d at 458)—but insists the government cannot immediately appeal an order that may make it impossible to transfer out of our country highly dangerous individuals who are dedicated to causing harm to the American people. That cannot be right.

AG #PamBondi incorrectly tells FauxNews that Judge #Boasberg in the Venezuelan #deportations case has "no right" to ask #DOJ when the planes departed & who was on them while determining whether the #Trump admin defied the court order:

"This judge has no right to ask those questions.… The judge had no business, no power to do what he did"

Wrong. So very wrong.

The irony is rich, because the whole made-for-TV episode — complete w/video of migrants being hauled away in shackles, having their heads shaved & being forced to kneel before their Salvadoran jailers — was clearly intended to #terrorize the millions of undocumented migrants who remain in the #US.

“What began as a dispute between litigants over the President’s authority to protect the national security & manage the foreign relations of the US pursuant to both a longstanding Congressional authorization & the President’s core constitutional authorities has devolved into a picayune dispute over the micromanagement of immaterial factfinding,” #DOJ wrote.

“He didn’t mention my name in the statement. I just saw it quickly. He didn’t mention my name. But many people have called for his impeachment. The impeachment of this judge. I don’t know who the judge is. He is radical left. He is Obama-appointed,” #Trump said, acc/to an early clip shared on the social media.

#Republicans have also moved to #impeach federal judges Paul Engelmayer, John McConnell Jr., John Bates & Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali — all for ruling in some way against #Trump.

#GOP *lawmakers* have unleashed an unprecedented flood of long-shot #impeachment articles aimed at federal judges who are standing in the way of #Trump's agenda.

James #Boasberg, chief judge of the DC District Court, is at least the fifth federal judge who is facing a #HouseRepublicans impeachment attempt after issuing a ruling unfavorable to the admin.
