Dear Universe, I am not sure where I am going next in my life, but wherever I go it must allow pets, not just for my cats, but also because I don’t want to live near small-minded people who don’t like cats or dogs. I want to be around people who love cats and dogs even if I may not have them.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.
NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.
They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.

They didn't just expel people to El Salvador. They sent people to CECOT where they are imprisoned without trial or sentence and may never be released.
They have admitted in filings in the Abrego Garcia case that they can't provide due process.
