I’m really excited to be presenting new work at Brandeis next month! If you’re in the Boston area, come check it out. Also, since I’ll be in Boston for five days, I’m welcoming suggestions on cool things to do: feminist/queer bookstores, sex shops, cafes or art spaces, fun non-stuffy museums, etc.

Picking up on this point, Justice Sotomayor writes in dissent: "To the extent the Government removes even one individual without affording him notice and a meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief, it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United States Supreme Court. "
So too do we all agree with the per curiam’s command
that the Fifth Amendment requires the Government to afford plaintiffs “notice after the date of this order that they
are subject to removal under the Act, . . . within reasonable
time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually
seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal
occurs.” Ante, at 3. That means, of course, that the Government cannot usher any detainees, including plaintiffs,
onto planes in a shroud of secrecy, as it did on March 15,
2025. Nor can the Government “immediately resume” removing individuals without notice upon vacatur of the TRO,
as it promised the D. C. Circuit it would do. See 2025 WL
914682, *13 (Millett, J., concurring) (referencing oral argument before that court). To the extent the Government removes even one individual without affording him notice and
a meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief,
it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United
States Supreme Court.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a
new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in
such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate
manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604
U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at
1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it
left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See,
e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With
more and more of our most significant rulings taking place
in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court
leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We
are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with
similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are
now less willing to face it.
