Because Lee Gelernt and the other attys at the @ACLU DO NOT SLEEP on what must be done.
While we were all sleeping:

The Supreme Court, in an order issued in the middle of the night, ordered the Trump administration to not remove anyone under the Alien Enemies Act until other legal steps play out in the lower courts.

Donald Trump before the election: “I’ll end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.”

Today, 89 days into the Trump presidency, Marco Rubio said the U.S. may “move on” from efforts to secure a Russia-Ukraine peace deal if no progress is made in the coming days.

I’ve never been an activist although I’ve volunteered for organizations that support issues I care about. Trump has changed that. None of us can sit on the sidelines anymore. If you aren’t “active,” you’re passive. America needs all of us. Dissent IS patriotic! #SCpol

Trump and the Republican Party had no problem picking up the phone and asking Romania to return their dear friend and child rapist, Andrew Tate, but want us to believe they can’t do anything about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Donald Trump has no fidelity to the law, and his intentions for the Justice Department and US Attorney offices have been made clear.

I will not return the blue slip for his nominees for US Attorney for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.

So there you have it: Boasberg says the government can either work to "purge its contempt" by affording those individuals sent to El Salvador the due process it denied them.

And if they don't, then we're heading towards a special prosecutor for criminal contempt prosecutions.

SCOTUS handed Trump a blank check for criminality— they shouldn’t be shocked he’s cashing it. Immunity was the invitation to ignore the law, the courts, and them. They shouldn’t be surprised. You don’t crown a criminal and expect loyalty to the law. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters.
