For all the cheering about this case being 8-1 or 7-2, it was, effectively, 5-4. A single vote.

The aftermath: Expect the Department of Education to try to implement a national trans sports and bathroom ban by arguing that Title IX requires it. The EEOC may follow suit with similar regulations under Title VII. This decision does not support those readings but Trump admin will try.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

NEW: DHS has admitted for the first time that it sent Mr. Prado to El Salvador, in a statement which accuses him of being a gang member. The man never once got a trial on this issue. No judge ever found him to be a public safety threat or a member of a gang. No due process. No nothing.

FALSE. Ricardo Jesus Prada Vasquez is a Venezuelan national and confirmed member of Tren de Aragua, entered the United States on Nov. 29, 2024 at the Brownsville, Texas Port of Entry via a CBP One app appointment. Prada was paroled into the US and served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge.

On Jan. 15, Prada was encountered at the Detroit Windsor Tunnel in Detroit, Michigan attempting to enter the U.S. from Canada and was referred to secondary inspection. Further investigation resulted in Prada being designated a public safety threat as a confirmed member of TdA and in violation of his conditions of admission. Prada was apprehended and transferred to ICE Michigan for detention. On Feb. 27, an immigration judge ordered Prada removed from the U.S.

On March 15, Prada was removed to El Salvador.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
