Trump is now abducting innocent citizens, denying them due process, and participating in human trafficking. Do not visit this country. It now has committed serious human rights violations.

Thank you for this. I can be patient with due process, although abiding by the Constitution for someone who's violating it is bizarre.

Every thing to do with Trump for me has felt like the ‘mad hatters tea party’ for 9 years. Right is left. Up is down.

Forward is backwards. No wonder those of us who aren’t under his ‘spell’ are tired! All the more reason to resist this REGIME.

Mad Hatters, exactly!

Absolutely, definitely, upside-down, inside out, and sideways. Traitors, all. Welcome to the world of “trump insanity”! His earlier generations were crooks, he was abused and damaged, and groomed as a child, he damaged, & held his children psychology hostage, and his wives all fled. I can’t begin to fathom what it’s like living inside of heads like that. Ditto the billionaires who are party to this, either by participating or just staying silent.

I also can’t begin to fathom how individuals from all corners of our country can be so out of touch and easily taken in, and/or absent of logic needed to even begin to think that the steady flow of sh*t flowing from Trump and his mouthpieces is anywhere near OK.

Bottom line, trump is both being used and is using others so should be removed from public for the safety of all. He should be in a high security hospital, NOT anywhere near the White House or any other position of power.

Many blessings upon the heads of our indomitable lawyers and judges in these horrific times. They’re holding the line against this hateful, destructive coup. I keep looking for the tipping point that will motivate those who are scared silent in Congress, the media, and state/local government to finally speak up and help build the determined momentum that will save our country and democracy. We each need to do our part and continue calling our representatives on both sides of the aisle to ask what they’re doing to help and/or if they’re changing their minds. Regularly!

Thank you David for saying that for me 👍🏻.

It would be great to feel this was a step in the right direction. And yet I believe it is another Trump win. Being held in contempt of court will likely lead to nothing. They did exactly what they wanted to do and got away with it.

AG, what are the possibilities if his lawyers are held in contempt? Nothing?

Trump is ordering ICE to kidnap innocent people and call them gang members, just by the color of their skin, and send viciously send them to another country, AND HAS VIOLATED THEIR DUE PROCESS, AND THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS!

Go over to Bluesky and see what CBP/ICE is posting. Sounds like they’re at a hockey game, not a professional job.

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

Hold their feet to the fire! I wish he could just lock up those in contempt.

We haven't even got to the merits of the deportation yet. Battling over whether they violated the court order distracts from the fact that they have not provided evidence that the deportees were members of the gang, let alone the legality of using the Alien Enemies Act when the US is not at war. In some convoluted reasoning, it would seem that the President of Peace, DJTrump, declared war on Venezuela last weekend. A house of cards.

Delay, delay, delay. It’s the name of trump’s game 🤬🤬.

All it took was to buy a president. The thing is there never was one up for sale before. Musk grabbed the first one at a bargain price.

Thank you, Allison, for this parsing of the complicated legal shenanigans. That video of the “deportation” haunts me.

Can't wait for the MAGA impeachment! Then every suit that the fat orange shit submits to SCOTUS we can watch SCOTUS throw it out! They have to have a SCOTUS overseeing the impeachment , I suggest either Justice Roberts or Justice Kavanaugh, or any of the 9 SCOTUS should do, they have all benefited from Judge Boasberg knowledge and Clerks that he referred as the best "feeder" Judge they have ever had...

Judge Boasberg has been a ‘feeder’ Judge for years for SCOTUS. He has given them more

Clerks than any other Judge in the country …He is a trust benefactor because of his friendship with Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh. Yes, he went to Yale with Justice Kavanaugh they were in the same law classes and they were also on the Basketball Team and quite good according to Kavanaugh….BTW: Justice Kavanaugh and Judge Boasberg were Roommates all through Law school at Yale!

Chief Justice Roberts hand elected and appointed Chief Justice Boasberg on Feb 7, 2014, to the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court(FISA). One of the most Prestigious courts in the country...Only 11 are chosen, all by hand by Justice Roberts. They serve 7 years! The Judges go through months of background checks to get the Highest of classified of information from every agency in the country!..In 2020, Boasberg was appointed by Chief Justice John Roberts, as the Chief Justice from January 2020 to May 2021 to the US ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL COURT and designated Chief Justice Roberts as his mentor.

There is no judge that knows the laws of immigration like Judge Boasberg, and the

Constitutional Laws that are assigned to Immigration...and Justice Roberts knows this!

He loves Boasberg.

I have heard that this Judge is top- notch!

Thank you from someone who knows nothing about what a judge can or can't do.

I'm tired of all the loopholes that only people with money seem to be able to manipulate.
