Good Lord. 4th Cir. (Judge Wilkinson writing):

"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."

As the 14th Amendment clearly states: “Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Our government needs to remember that.

Um so, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, as leaders, now would be a good time to inform the public about El Salvador keeping Garcia a prisonner, and publicly ask the Supreme Court what they intend to do about this. Force accountability and shit, be accountable to us! Thanks!

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Trump IS willfully defying the Supreme Court. In no way is the Trump regime facilitating or effectuating the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This is next folks -Judge Sotomayor is right
Sotomayor: "The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"
#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions:

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
