I have a friend I served with in the USAF on Guam and in S. Dakota. He retired in Germany and elected to stay. He frequently texts me to ask if I am safe. He is concerned because he knows I am verbal in my opposition to Trump. If it weren't for my grandchildren, I would get the hell out of here.

I am 3rd gen military. My great uncle was a gunner in WWII. My dad was EOD. He was shot at in Korea, and he equipped suitcase bombs for Army Rangers. I served 24-years in the USAF. 10-years working Bomb Navigation on the B-52. 14-years as a paralegal in the JAG. Trump has 0 respect for the military.

NEW: The Acting Director of the Immigration Courts issues a new memo purporting to authorize immigration judges to deny asylum applications without ever having a hearing.
It's not clear that she has legal authority to do this; as Director, she isn't permitted to set precedent.

Update: I just listened to the audio of this.
Trump: “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court.”
Reporter: And the lower court as well…?
Trump: “Oh no, no. I’m not talking about the lower court. I have great respect for the Supreme Court.”

Asked about the court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump said this tonight, per White House pool:
“If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court...I have great respect for the Supreme Court."
“If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court...I have great respect for the Supreme Court."
