Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:

He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.
Donald Trump authorizes U.S. military to take control of land on southern border
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum Friday giving the U.S. military jurisdiction over federal lands at the southern border.

“Neither the US government nor El Salvador has identified the detainees, or provided details of their alleged criminality or gang membership.”

“Hey here’s a bunch of brown people in chains, trust us we’re doing the right thing” - The US government, of all damn people.
The entire extralegal treatment of these detainees is disgusting. The fact that they were all clearly forced to shave their heads sets off every human rights generational trauma alarm bell in my body
White House denies defying judge's order over deportations to El Salvador
An order to halt the removal of 261 people came too late and had "no legal basis" anyway, the White House says.

Countries descending into fascism actually send out a little push notification to tell you that it's time to object to the fascism. If you haven't gotten the notification, things are fine! Speaking out against fascism will require no awareness or risk on your part! That's just how this stuff works!

I am a law dork myself, and a paying subscriber of the Law Dork newsletter.

It's essential reading, because paying attention to the legal (not "justice") system will be even more important under Trump 2.0 than it has been in the past.

Sign up. Chris's coverage and writing are worth reading.
