The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

A world of totally made-up, self-referential academic articles, of horror at the limits of our language; of representation; the symbolic seeking a Pyrrhic victory over the Real, of collapsing sense of trust through viral video technology - yes, that’s right, I’m talking about Sigbovik

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

The VP of El Salvador repeatedly told me "the ball is in your court" when it comes to bringing Abrego Garcia home — making clear Trump is violating a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling to “facilitate” his return. I said this in my recent letter to Trump, and here's the video to back it up:

Despite repeated outreach from @nipnlg.bsky.social attorneys ICE refused to let the parents speak to each other or mom speak to her attorney. We filed a late-night habeas petition ICE was fully aware of, but they deported them anyway.

for the last time, people, this is to conform to human *intuitions* about arrays. If your array has 0 elements fahrenheit, i.e. -32 elements celsius, that's a clear sign of a memory error. If it has 100F, i.e. 68, that feels like kind of a lot of elements.

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.
Acting like they wont equally just ignore an arcane statute as opposed to a SCOTUS order is willfully ignorant.A statute is actually just a piece of paper, and as such cannot force anything at all to happen, let alone force powerful people to do something they dont want to doVery cool, what happens when the administration says "nah?"
Y'all don't get it. Until there's actual consequences for these people NOTHING will happen. NO laws will help us unless they're backed with force of some kind.The Judciary has no enforcement arm, the DOD, DOJ, and Federal Marshall service works for and takes orders from The Executive. The Court can't force The Executive to do anything at all. It's time we start using the correct language.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
A. Facilitation of Abrego Garcia's Return
The Court should order the Government to take the following specific steps—in addition to whatever other steps are within its power—to '"facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody
in El Salvador," Noem, 604 U.S. _
→ 2025 WL 1077101, at *1, and return to the United States:
Request that its agents and contractors release Abrego Garcia from custody in El
Salvador pursuant to the contract or arrangement providing for his detention there
at the Government's direction. See ECF No. 31 at 11-12 ("the record reflects that Defendants have 'outsource[d] part of the [United States'] prison system" and "just as in any other contract facility, Defendants can and do maintain the power to secure and transport their detainees, Abrego Garcia included").
Dispatch personnel to accompany Abrego Garcia upon his release from CECOT to
ensure his safe passage to the aircraft that will return him to the United States.
Provide air transportation for Abrego Garcia to return to Maryland, because he may not be in current possession of sufficient identification to board a commercial flight.
Grant Abrego Garcia parole pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 212(d)(5), 8 USC § 1182(d)(5), and prepare all paperwork and forms required to allow him to reenter the United States.
B.
Expedited Discovery
Plaintiffs request that the Court order the following expedited discovery:
The Government should be ordered to immediately produce contemporaneously
prepared documents, in such form as they existed at the time of Abrego Garcia's removal, sufficient to reflect the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the Government's use of CECOT to house U.S. deportees.

Just a reminder that Judge Xinis's original order requiring the government to bring Abrego Garcia back to the United States was in effect for more than 72 hours before it was administratively stayed by Chief Justice Roberts on Monday. What did the Justice Department ... do ... during that time?

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...
38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen.
39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions
40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs.
41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there.
They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.

The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of *how* the justices are going to rule. But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same *urgency* that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.

A man gets wrongfully deported, to a Salvadoran supermax prison, in direct violation of a binding federal protective order. And Roberts' response is a one-sentence administrative stay with zero explanation. The guy who made Trump king is letting him act like a king. Our country is f*cked.

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
Excerpt from Rutgers University Senate resolution calling for a Mutual Academic Defense Compact. The excerpt reads:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund. This fund shall be used to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement;"

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked. The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...
The biggest reason government officials aren't giving any specifics about the criteria by which these arrests and deportations are selected, is that the criteria is "pro-Israel think-tanks and advocacy organizations created lists of troublesome individuals and gave them to us."

multiple issues here: -it’s unamerican and unconstitutional for the federal govt—and certainly the executive on its own, arbitrarily and in secret—to create a speech code for visa holders -even if that was permissible, suddenly accosting her in the street and abducting her is wildly disproportionate

So the position of the Trump-Vance administration — and every member of Congress unless they explicitly say otherwise — is quite literally you do not have guaranteed free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like. That is the headline.
