I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West.
ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

My 2-year-old was in an ICE detention facility when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why am I being deported to Honduras?" And when I told her "Because due process is too woke," she started crying.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!

Pam Bondi: “That’s up to El Salvador if they want to return him…If they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane.”
Nayib Bukele: “How can I return him to the U.S.? Like, I smuggle him into the U.S.?”
No, you put him on the plane the AG just said the US would provide!

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.

The way the question needs to be framed to Bukele is: “So if the Trump administration requested the return of some prisoners, you would refuse?”

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices.
At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

Agree with Marty both on the importance of reading Adam's (excellent) piece and the only way these incredibly disturbing attacks on law firms and lawyers will end.
Essential reading, from Jenner's Adam Unikowsky. Not only does Adam pull together all of the reasons why the E.O.s are patently illegal and profoundly dangerous; he also explains ... [1]

NEW: Law firms and the rule of law remain under attack. Jenner and WilmerHale fight back. Skadden's Jeremy London, though, tried to explain the firm's capitulation.
Also: A law firm partner provided Law Dork with a "parable" of two paths for firms in this moment.
