The hypocrisy is overwhelming!
Abrego Garcia's attorneys note that sending additional people to CECOT—as the US apparently did on Saturday—involved exactly the same tasks that the govt claims are impossible (or not subject to court order) in Abrego Garcia's case
![State announced that the Government delivered an additional ten detainees to El Salvador on
Saturday? That involved all three of the actions that the Government contends the courts cannot
order: "i) mak[ing] demands of the El Salvadoran government (A1), (ii) dispatch[ing] personnel
onto the soil of an independent, sovereign nation (A2), and (iii) send[ing] an aircraft into the
airspace of a sovereign foreign nation... (A3)." ECF No. 65 at 4. The Government holds contractual rights to send prisoners to its "contract facility," where the United States has
"outsourced" part of its prison system, and it holds "the power to secure and transport [its] detainees, Abrego Garcia included." ECF No. 31 at 11-12. It can exercise those same contractual
rights to request their release, as the detainees are being held "pending the United States' decision on [their] long term disposition." Id. at 6.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreibh2y5fyq2nn2zzma4ys2fic5iprquk7ohof6jzpmt4y5vukc76wa@jpeg)

The fundamental truth now before us: the Judiciary, not the President, determines what the law says, otherwise democracy fails.

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit."
Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.

1,650,000 people at risk of death due to loss of US aid. That’s just the first year. The proper term for this is Holocaust and it is happening now thanks to Musk and DT.

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Precisely what Martin Niemoller told us 70 years ago.
For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes.
Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.
