On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Facts:
- Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance.
- Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

The judge said the government failed to prove Khalil’s actions affected foreign policy, and called his potential deportation under this law “unprecedented.” This is a major win for due process and a reminder that not all government actions hold up in court.

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador"
Astonishing.
Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

I think we need to take it back another step: why are we sending anyone at all to a notorious prison in El Salvador? None of it should be happening. We can’t get lost in the weeds of whether or not one guy is an angel or a gang member. It’s way bigger than that. We are perpetrating evil.

BREAKING: After a federal judge issued an injunction ending the refugee resettlement funding freeze, Rubio just started terminating all of the contracts. Judge Jamal Whitehead issues a follow-on injunction tonight ordering the terminated agreements reinstated unless Rubio actually follows the law.
