If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

1000 Great Songs #942: My Boyfriend. Hoboken's Cucumbers (feat. @deena0504.bsky.social) were one of those regional acts we played to death in my college radio days. Their debut single was a cross between indie jangle and new wave pop, endearingly sweet & full of exuberant charm.
