There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.
A picture shows 32 men arranging themselves into an SOS on the ground of a prison yard. The ground is bare earth. All the men are wearing red or orange prison jumpsuits.

The idea that DOGE merely advises rather than directs agency decisions is a key part of the government’s defense in suits alleging Appointments Clause violations. Elsewhere, DOJ has argued that DOGE is not an “agency” subject to FOIA bc its role is limited to advising and assisting the president.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

4. During this pause, the United States will still have the highest tariffs in the industrialized world, perhaps 10-20 times that of most of our trading partners, and roughly ten times higher than it was before. These are still at or above the Depression era Smoot-Hawley tariffs

The Justice Department’s latest filings make it abundantly clear that it is creating a black site for migrants in El Salvador that’s worse than Gitmo. slate.com/news-and-pol...
So, here, in short, is what the Justice Department is offering the federal judiciary as a constitutionally sound option for migrants who say they face illegal deportation to El Salvador.
These migrants have no right to contest their classification as gang members. They have no right to challenge the president's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act or secure a classwide
restraining order against it. Their access to the courts is limited to an individual habeas petition in their district of confinement, which cannot practically address their grievances. Moreover, the government has no obligation to give migrants time-even just a few hours-to file a habeas petition or access to a lawyer or interpreter who could help. The government may, instead, whisk them away to El Salvador with no advance notice. And as soon as they are delivered to CECOT, they can no longer file a habeas petition, because they are out of U.S. custody.

NEW: Judge Boasberg issues a show-cause order (precedes contempt sanctions) on why he shouldn't find that the gov't defied his orders. "In an ex parte pleading delivered shortly after today’s deadline, the Government again evaded its obligations." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
ORDER
On March 18, 2025, the Court ordered Defendants to provide by noon the following day
specific information regarding flights carrying individuals subject to the Court's Temporary
Restraining Orders issued three days before. See Minute Order of 3/18/25. Defendants instead filed a pleading shortly before the deadline seeking to stay the Order in large part on the ground that they were considering whether to invoke the state-secrets privilege. See ECF No. 37 (Stay
Motion) at 3-4. Although skeptical of the applicability of such privilege, the Court granted Defendants another 24 hours either to release the information ordered or to invoke the privilege.
See ECF No. 38 (Order).
In an ex parte pleading delivered shortly after today's deadline, the Government again
evaded its obligations. It submitted a six-paragraph declaration from the Acting Field Office
Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Harlingen, Texas, Field Office, the contents of which the Government has informed the Court may be disclosed. After four paragraphs of identifying information, herepeated the same general information about the flights: "On March 15, 2025, two flights carrying aliens being removed under the AEA departed U.S. airspace before the Court's minute
order of 7:25 PM EDT, and before the Court's oral statements during the hearing." Decl. of Robert L. Cerna, I 5. He then stated, "I understand that Cabinet Secretaries are currently actively considering whether to invoke the state secrets privilege over the other facts requested
by the Court's order. Doing so is a serious matter that requires careful consideration of national
security and foreign relations, and it cannot properly be undertaken in just 24 hours." Id., 16 (emphasis added).
This is woefully insufficient. To begin, the Government cannot proffer a regional ICE
official to attest to Cabinet-level discussions of the state-secrets privilege; indeed, his declaration
on that point, not surprisingly, is based solely on his unsubstantiated "understand[ing]."
Although its skepticism concerning the suitability of such privilege expressed in yesterday's
Order remains, the Court at a minimum requires an official with direct involvement to swear that deliberations of the privilege's invocation are ongoing at the level Cerna attests. It further
expects such deliberations to be concluded by March 25, 2025, which only exceedingly good
cause may excuse.
In addition, to avoid further delay, the Court will require Defendants to show cause on
the facts that they have already disclosed as to why the failure to return the class members
aboard the two earliest planes did not violate the Court's Temporary Restraining Orders. Further supplementation may be required once particulars are ultimately disclosed.
The Court, accordingly, ORDERS that:1. By March 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Defendants shall submit a sworn declaration by a person with direct involvement in the Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation
of the state-secrets privilege;
2. By March 25, 2025, Defendants shall submit a declaration indicating whether or not the Government is invoking the privilege;
3. By March 25, 2025, Defendants shall file a brief showing cause why they did not violate the Court's Temporary Restraining Orders by failing to return class members removed from the United States on the two earliest planes that departed on March 15, 2025; and
4. Plaintiffs may file any response to such brief by March 31, 2025.
