Trump may justify deportations by claiming the people involved are violent gang members (although no court has had that chance to test that assertion) but the problem is that once established, the power Trump is claiming can be used against other people too. joycevance.substack.com/p/deportatio…

My report on the hearing just now, in which Trump administration attorneys acknowledged disregarding a federal judge's order. "That’s a heck of a stretch,” the judge said. Later: "Apparently my oral orders don’t seem to carry much weight." Next filing due Tuesday.www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-…

Tense hearing over Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act:Judge Boasberg pressed the Trump DOJ on why it did not comply with his order to temporarily halt deportations.The lawyer refused to answer detailed questions.The judge summarized their position as "we don't care, we'll do what we want."

Here is Judge Boasberg's order—in writing—after the disaster of a hearing today. He wants a sworn declaration that no one was removed based on the AEA proclamation and setting out when it went into effect, an estimate of how many individuals may be subject, and why DOJ can't answer its questions.

I’m very glad that @joshuajfriedman.com got the full quote here, because it was pretty wild. Boasberg was not happy.

Fucker thinks he invented “due process is only good if it produces results that people who look like me approve of” and dresses it up in some pretentious nonsense.Rocky Road is against the common good because I do not like Rocky Road. I am a deep thinker at Harvard.

If you’re wondering “how does Harvard Law find enough students to fill this fascist’s classes,” I regret to inform you Harvard Law has always had plenty of people who are evil or indifferent to evil.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. http://www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s…

Remember when every single one of the Trumps demanded Secret Service protection after he lost and got it?

He is a Russian asset. That we know. He has Congress refusing to act. He is defying the courts. And now, he is trying to get people killed. Hey MAGAT'S, is this what you voted for?
