That fear you have, that maybe even small decision to limit what you say or where you go, even for US citizens, it means we’re living under authoritarianism.

Breakdown of what just happened. Judge Boasberg
1) Finds probable cause of Trump officials' criminal contempt of his order to turn back flights.
2) Gives USG opportunity to "purge" the contempt.
3) If not and if DOJ will not prosecute, he "will appoint another attorney to prosecute the contempt."
