Next steps (both to return the kidnapped men to the US AND to enforce some actual goddamn consequences on President 34 Felonies) are murky but criminal contempt is a good start.
BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that probable cause exists to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for willful violation of his March 15 orders regarding Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation and sets next steps toward possible prosecution.

Good news about the stock market I guess, I like having money too, now, was anyone planning to stop the ICE kidnappings, the rampant digital book burning, and the stripping trans people of their documentation and travel rights? Or is it really only the economy that gets people mad?
