Russia 'blatantly interfered' with GPS signals, forcing a plane carrying the EU Commission president to circle a Bulgarian airport for an hour before landing.
Deprived of all GPS in Plovdiv yesterday, pilots eventually landed safely using paper maps for navigation.

There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.

We're still awaiting a status report from the plaintiffs on their understanding of whether the class members have been deplaned and moved to ORR.

DOJ blew the deadline.
Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.

Today I learned that Drew Ensign doesn’t follow me on Bluesky
UPDATE: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, says that "all of the class members that were on planes today have been deplaned and are in the process of being returned to ORR custody."
He add that he didn't file by 4 p.m. because he wasn't aware of the court's order setting that deadline.

UPDATE: DOJ says it expects that the children will be returned to ORR by 10:30 pm.
The report also offers some clarity on how many children were loaded on planes (76, purportedly).
(But the putative class isn't limited to those put on planes today -- plaintiffs estimate # in the hundreds)

This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children.
I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel.
