NEW: Judge Boasberg grants TRO preventing deportation of all in US custody subject to new Trump EO! Concludes that terms like "nation" and "government" likely don't apply to Tren de Aragua, immigration doesn't seem to be "invasion," so Alien Enemies Act wouldn't provide basis for removal.

UPDATE: A federal judge broadened the scope of an earlier temporary restraining order, blocking Trump from deporting anyone under the Alien Enemies Act while the case proceeds.
Flights carrying Venezuelan immigrants the DHS attempted to deport were ordered to turn around and return to the U.S.

We’re in court today fighting President Trump’s executive order that seeks to restrict gender-affirming medical care for trans people.
This order threatens to withhold federal funding from medical institutions that provide this essential health care for people under age 19.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.
This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

It is unprecedented and illegal for the president to ship people away from the U.S. and strip them of access to a lawyer.
