Hermann Göring, during the #NurembergTrials, explains "protective custody" in the Third Reich: "People were arrested and taken into protective custody, who had not yet committed any crime, but who could be expected to do so if they remained free." More in the link below: bsky.app/profile/drja...

The treatment of the TikTok ban might seem silly, but it is, effectively, a sign that the constitutional government we have operated under for more than 200 years is no longer in effect. Read the thread.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death. Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
adjudicating this case. But if this Court wishes to permit the Government to flout the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Due Process Clause, it cannot avoid accountability for that lawlessness by tasking the lower courts with inventing a rationale. The Court's continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible.
*
"In a democracy, power implies responsibility. The greater the power that defies law the less tolerant can this Court be of defiance. As the Nation's ultimate judicial tri-bunal, this Court, beyond any other organ of society, is the trustee of law and charged with the duty of securing obedience to it." Mine Workers, 330 U.S., at 312 (Frankfurter,
J., concurring in judgment). This Court continues to invert those principles. Today's order clarifies only one thing:
Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial. Respectfully, I dissent.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor & Jackson (and a rare concurrence from Justice Kagan), #SCOTUS "clarifies" that its 6/23 ruling staying a district court's injunction against third-country removals *also* applies to the district court's later order requiring a remedy for those already removed:

OK. Wild follow-up in the third country removals case. DOJ went back to SCOTUS this morning complaining of Judge Murphy's "unprecedented defiance of this Court’s authority" b/c Murphy said what Sotomayor said was the case in her dissent — that the remedial order wasn't before SCOTUS.
No. 24A1153
In the Supreme Court of the United States
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL., APPLICANTS
U.
D.V.D., ET AL.,
MOTION FOR AN ORDER CLARIFYING THIS COURT'S JUNE 23, 2025, ORDER GRANTING A STAY OF THE INJUNCTION ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS AND REQUEST FOR AN IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE STAY OF THE DISTRICT COURT'S MAY 21, 2025, AND JUNE 23, 2025, ORDERS
D. JOHN SAUER
Solicitor General
Counsel of Record
Department of JusticeNevertheless, the district court's latest ruling confronts the government with an intolerable Hobson's choice, by holding the threat of contempt over the government
if it acts according to this Court's stay ruling and proceeds with the third-country
removals of aliens whose continued detention in Djibouti inflicts daily irreparable
injury on the government and its agents. Accordingly, the government requests that this Court immediately clarify that its stay of the April 18 injunction extends to the
May 21 orders that purported to clarify and enforce the stayed injunction. In addi-tion, an immediate administrative stay of both the May 21 orders and the June 23 order is warranted, to make clear beyond any doubt that the government can immediately proceed with the third-country removals of the criminal aliens from Djibouti.
As the government detailed, the district court's injunction has created an unstable and dangerous situation at the military base in Djibouti, Gov't Appl. 38-39 a situa-
tion that has become all the more dangerous given current events in the Middle East.In addition, given the district court's defiance of this Court's stay order and
6
respondent's motion for a new temporary restraining order, further steps may be appropriate pursuant to this Court's power under the All Writs Act to "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of [its] jurisdiction]." 28 U.S.C. 1651. For instance, this Court may wish to direct the district court not to issue further injunctions in this
case without first obtaining pre-clearance from this Court. See, e.g., Vasquez v. Har-ris, 503 U.S. 1000 (1992) (ordering no further stays of execution "except upon order of this Court"). In the alternative, given the lower court's conduct, this Court may consider ordering that the case be reassigned to a different district judge. See, e.g., United States v. Smith, 134 F.4th 248, 265 (4th Cir. 2025) (ordering reassignment "in light of the district court's disregard for procedure and our precedent"); Dehertoghe v.
City of Hemet, 159 Fed. Appx. 775, 777 (9th Cir. 2005) (same where district court
"ignored our previous directive"); In re Daimler Chrysler Corp., 294 F.3d 697, 701 (5th Cir. 2002) (same where district court's actions betrayed lack of "impartiality").

The reason ICE was able to do any of this this was because Biden/Obama and the Democrats did nothing to reign in the powers of ICE, over 12 years. All they did was hold them back temporarily. And this year, Democrats helped pass the Laken Riley Act, which has been used by Trump for all of this.
