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.

In Pasadena, CA, a Trump regime ICE thug drew a lethal weapon on an unarmed U.S. citizen for photographing his license plate. ICE agents are operating without identification, so citizens are bravely documenting them for accountability and safety. #StopICE #AbolishICE #PoliceState

Adrian Andrew Martinez, a U.S. citizen, tried to intervene as federal immigration agents questioned another man in a Walmart parking lot. ICE agents violently swarm him. Now missing. By law, he has a right to an attorney. This is how police states operate.

The National Guard troops and Marines sent to Los Angeles to help restore order after days of protest against ICE violence and illegal detainments have told friends and family they are unhappy about the assignment and worry they are pawns in a political battle they do not want to join. Via The Guardian: 
Three different advocacy organizations representing military families said they had heard from dozens of affected service members who expressed discomfort about being drawn into a domestic policing operation outside their normal field of operations. The groups said they have heard no countervailing opinions. 
“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,” said Sarah Streyder of the Secure Families Initiative, which represents the interests of military spouses, children and veterans.read more

Pres Zelenskyy detailed numerous violations of Putin's phoney "truce" in this update this morning. This alone is not proof and of course it benefits Ukraine to allege this. But I have checked with sources, as have others I respect, and some fighting continues, albeit sporadic.
