Boasberg gets the DOJ to confirm the 5 individual named plaintiffs, which were the subject of his first TRO, are still here. Boasberg asks "How many planes departed the US at any point on Saturday carrying any people being deported solely on the basis of the proclamation." DOJ refuses to answer!!

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

Executive orders are not laws. Anti-semitism, while abhorrent, is not illegal. "Activities aligned" to a terrorist organization are not material support for a terrorist organization. The former is legal and protected by the 1st Amendment. The latter isn't. This is a lawless statement of a dictator.
@DHSgov on X: On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. 
 
ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump’s executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

The lesson of this current episode - aside from the obvious fact that Republicans violated their oaths twice during the Trump impeachment trials - is that many more senior people should have gone to jail for years & been forever banned from politics for Watergate & Iran-Contra & Bush era torture.
