End-to-end encryption is secure because it protects the contents of your communications in transit between the endpoints. If you make one of those endpoints an editor at The Atlantic, no amount of encryption is going to save you from your own stupidity.

Look at this perfect tiny baby angel who literally climbed up a vet tech's face today.

NEW: NJ federal judge Michael Farbiarz, a Biden appointee, is assigned to the Mahmoud Khalil case and immediately orders that Khalil "shall not be removed from the United States, unless and until the Court issues a contrary Order." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This case had been pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. There, on March 10, the Court ordered that the Petitioner may not be removed from the United States, pending a ruling on the Petition. See ECF 9.
Today, the case was transferred to this Court. See ECE 79.
The Court orders: the Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States, unless and until the Court issues a contrary Order.
The purpose of this Order is to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, so that the Petition can be reviewed and ruled on.
The authority for this is the All Writs Act, at Title 28, United States Code, Section 1651, as it has been interpreted by the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
See, e.g., Dabone v.
Karn, 763 E.2d 593, 597 n.2 (3d Cir. 1985) (citing FTC v. Dean
Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 603 (1966)) .
II IS on this 19th day of March, 2025, so ORDERED.
Michael E. Farbiarz, U.S.D.J.
