Despite admitting to having illegally sent a guy to El Salvador by mistake, and even though the U.S. is paying El Salvador to indefinitely imprison him, the DOJ is arguing that, well, nothing to do, it's not in our hands anymore. The general tone of their response is "welp, sucks to be him."
But there is no jurisdiction in habeas. Plaintiffs admit—as they must—that the United States does not have custody over Abrego Garcia. They acknowledge that there may be “difficult questions of redressability” in this case, reflecting their recognition that Defendants do not have “the power to produce” Abrego Garcia from CECOT in El Salvador. Mem. Supp. TRO Mot. 2. But even more, they concede that Abrego Garcia is not in Defendants’ custody. Id. (asking the Court to order Defendants to “request that the government of El Salvador return Plaintiff to Defendants’ custody”). Despite their allegations of continued payment for Abrego Garcia’s detention, Plaintiffs do not argue that the United States can exercise its will over a foreign sovereign. The most they ask for is a court order that the United States entreat—or even cajole—a close ally in its fight against transnational cartels. This is not “custody” to which the great writ may run. This Court therefore lacks jurisdiction.

Indiana congresswoman says, “You violated the law, you don’t get due process.” These are the same lawmakers who oppose Red Flag Laws because they don’t provide armed domestic abusers with … due process.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It’s probably fair to assume that Wayne Gretzky thinks some of this blow back is politically motivated and will fade.

But, if that’s true, it speaks to how disconnected he is from Canada right now.

There is very real hurt, anger and fear here.

Here’s my story on all that.

I wrote about the crumbling mythology around Wayne Gretzky — and the sense of betrayal many Canadians feel — due to the Great One’s silence amid President Trump’s repeated calls to annex Canada while forcing a crippling trade war.

The Senate has voted to strip the CFPB of its authority to monitor digital payment offerings.

This development comes as Elon Musk hopes to make Twitter a hub of digital payments.

The resolution still requires House approval and Trump's signature.

I'm seeing conflicting reports about imminent staff purges at the Social Security Admin.

Here's what we know: The Trump Admin instructed each agency to plan for large-scale layoffs, starting with employees furloughed during gov shutdowns. What would that mean for SSA?

This has to be one of the biggest opsec fails I've ever seen in my life. The actual director of the FBI driving around in the most conspicuous vehicle imaginable made even more so by it being neon red.
A red Tesla Cybertruck with black accents is driving on a street in Washington, D.C. The vehicle has a custom license plate reading "KASH 009." The social media post claims that the truck belongs to the FBI director. The background shows buildings, trees, and pedestrians on the sidewalk.
