Colorado's left also having a strong legislative night. Of 2 Dem state representatives facing a challenge from left, one trails; other is tied 50/50. In the highest-profile open state Senate seat, the progressive-backed candidate is crushing a former Jared Polis aide.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

• If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a “non-international armed conflict,” as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to “kill everybody,” which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give “no quarter,” and
to “double-tap” a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes.
• If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads:

Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are “patently illegal,” anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.

DOJ put on a really unacceptable shitshow in District Court in Maryland today. Get it together, folks. In Abrego Garcia, DOJ filing (1) and order from Judge Xinis (2). In J.O.P., DOJ filing re: Cristian, another person improperly deported to CECOT (3).
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
GREENBELT DIVISION
KILMAR ARMANDO ABREGO GARCIA, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
V.
KRISTI NOEM, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 8:25-cv-00951 (PX)
DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER OR RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT
Defendants respectfully request that the Court extend the time for them to answer or
otherwise respond to Plaintiffs' complaint by 30 days. Plaintiffs filed their complaint on March
24, 2025, and served the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland on March
27, 2025. Accordingly, Defendants must answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs' complaint by
May 27, 2025. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(2).ORDER
Today
—the very day Defendants' answer or response to the Complaint is due Defendants
move for a thirty-day extension of the filing deadline. ECF No. 162. Rule 6(b) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure allows the Court to extend deadlines for good cause if the request is made
before the original time expires. Whether to grant such relief rests in the Court's discretion.
Defendants expended no effort in demonstrating good cause. They vaguely complain, in
two sentences, to expending "significant resources" engaging in expedited discovery. But these
self-described burdens are of their own making. The Court ordered expedited discovery because
of Defendants'
refusal to follow the orders of this Court as affirmed by the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
Further, as the docket plainly demonstrates, Defendants are intimately familiar with the
causes of action and of the pending deadline. The Court has conducted no fewer than five hearings
in this case and at no point had Defendants even intimated they needed more time to answer or
otherwise respond. Thus, to say now that additional time is needed to do that which the law

Defendants request leave to file the declaration, ECF No. 285-1, ordered by this Court on May 20, 2025, out of time. The Court in its May 20, 2025 Order directed Defendants to file "a declaration from an individual with personal knowledge" addressing : (1) Cristian's current physical location and custodial status; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate Cristian's return to the United States; and (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate Cristian's return." See ECF No. 280. The Court also directed Defendants to file said declaration by "5 PM ET on Tuesday, May 27, 2025." Id. Due to unexpected delays, Defendants filed said declaration at 6:10 PM ET on Tuesday, May 27, 2025." See ECF No. 285. Defendants regret the delay and any inconvenience caused to the Court and Class Counsel.

For many years, ICE has agreed not to deport certain people for humanitarian reasons, including this mother of three with no criminal record who has strong ties to her community. Now the Trump admin needs "easy" deportations; so they're revoking stays of removal without any warning at all.
