#Boasberg’s questions for #DOJ:

1. How many planes departed the US at any time on Saturday carrying any people being deported solely on the basis of the proclamation?

2. How many people in that category were on those planes?

3. What foreign countries did those planes land in?

4. What time did the planes leave the US?

5. What time did they enter foreign airspace?

6. What time did they land?

7. What time were those individuals transferred into foreign custody?

🧵

#Boasberg cites case law that the govt is required to provide a clear reason before refusing to provide him classified or national security info.

He asks if the #DOJ can provide in writing tomorrow by noon what their position is communicating the info to him.

Boasberg to the DOJ: "Let me just tell you the questions that I wish you could answer, & that I will be asking you.”

🧵
#law #Constitution #ChecksAndBalances #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #AbuseOfPower #AlienEnemiesAct #Trump


#Boasberg points out he gets classified info all the time "Why are you showing up today & not having answers as to why you can't disclose it?”

He points out that if the answers are classified, fine, just tell him.

Boasberg remains incredulous at the fact that the govt won't even tell him why they won't tell him how many flights took off. #DOJ says all he can say is that the flights took off before his order, & he suggests that's not relevant to #compliance.

🧵
#law #Constitution #Trump


#Boasberg is now questioning the government about the other 2 flights, which the government itself somewhat mentioned in its orders.

The government continues to refuse to disclose any information. Boasberg asks why it can't be said outside of the public, & the #DOJ attorney refuses to say why.

#Boasberg is now asking about a third flight identified by the #ACLU that they were asking about, which is I believe what the last bit was about. He gets the #DOJ to confirm no one on that plane was subject to the #AEA proclamation.

🧵
#law #Constitution #14thAmendment #5thAmendment #DueProcess #immigration #Venezuela #CivilRights #ChecksAndBalances #JudicialBranch #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #AbuseOfPower #AlienEnemiesAct #Trump
Plaintiffs also identify a third flight that departed later. Dkt. 21, at 4. That flight carried detainees who were removable on grounds other than the Proclamation and is therefore irrelevant. The government is able to disclose that limited fact for the same reason


#DOJ says that the only thing they are authorized to say is that the two flights which took off after the written order were not relevant to this case (which I guess is saying they had no one subject to the #AlienEnemiesAct #AEA on board?). He then claims #NationalSecurity & diplomacy mean he won't answer further.

#Boasberg gets the #DOJ to confirm the 5 individual named plaintiffs, which were the subject of his first TRO, are still here.

Boasberg asks "How many planes departed the US at any point on Saturday carrying any people being deported solely on the basis of the proclamation."

DOJ refuses to answer!!

🧵
#law #Constitution #14thAmendment #5thAmendment #DueProcess #immigration #CivilRights #ChecksAndBalances #JudicialBranch #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #AbuseOfPower #Trump


#Boasberg says he wants to focus on the timelines involved. He says, again, "I just want to obtain some facts here, I'm not planning to issue any rulings about the government's conduct today, it's just to get information." He says the ACLU can raise any objections to the facts if they have them

🧵
#law #Constitution #ChecksAndBalances #JudicialBranch #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #AbuseOfPower #Trump


#Boasberg begins by saying today's hearing is not about the merits of his TROs issued on Sat. He says the sole reason he's here is fact-finding about the govt's #compliance w/his orders. He notes the govt asked the DC Circuit to stay this hearing & asked that he be removed.

🧵 coverage of Judge #Boasberg’s hearing via Aaron Reichlin-Melnick:

Chief Judge Boasberg begins the hearing. Lee Gelernt & others from the #ACLU are there in person, along with others from #DemocracyForward.

For the government, appearing are Abishek Kambli & August Flentje.

Judge #Boasberg responded to #DOJ’s Monday motion to vacate the 5PM hearing:

The Court ORDERS that Defendants' 24 Motion to Vacate is DENIED. The hearing will proceed as scheduled. So ORDERED by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg on 3/17/2025.

So, it should start in about 5 minutes.

MINUTE ORDER: The Court ORDERS The Court ORDERS that Defendants' 24 Motion to Vacate is DENIED. The hearing will proceed as scheduled. So ORDERED by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg on 3/17/2025.


In a brazen display of defiance, #Trump’s #DOJ filed papers less than two hours before the 5PM hearing, telling Judge James E. #Boasberg that there was no reason for anyone to come to court because the administration was not going to provide any further information about the #deportation flights.

USPS Makes Alarming Deal With Elon Musk’s DOGE

US Postmaster General #LouisDeJoy is welcoming DOGE with open arms.
https://newrepublic.com/post/192777/usps-deal-elon-musk-doge-cuts

"DeJoy said... #DOGE was “an effort aligned” with... shrinking the USPS,

#Musk also believes that the #USPS should be privatized...

#Privatization... would raise prices, hurt postal workers, and negatively impact #rural communities, who are served by USPS thanks to the #Constitution and federal #law."

US judge orders DOGE, Musk to produce cost-cutting records

"The states argued that #Musk violated the #Constitution by wielding power that only officials confirmed by the #US Senate can exercise under the #AppointmentsClause, & sought materials from him through a process known as discovery...

"Defendants argue that the 'inner workings of government' are immaterial to an Appointments Clause claim," [Chutkan] wrote. "The court is not convinced""

"DOGE is again moving faster than the courts. While emergency lawsuits are pending over DOGE detailees to govt agencies, the Trump administration abruptly ended the details.

Now they say there's no need for discovery bc there are no more detailees."

Not mincing words.

Biden had HISTORIC FULL EMPLOYMENT - Under 4% unemployment.

Billions in Climate fighting, strong unions and again, full employment unseen since Roosevelt and Truman

Trump is plunging the world into chaos for racism and billionaires.

War on Humanity for Dictators.

When they are this stupid, it makes you grateful for democracy.

[trumps}  Tariff War Risks Sinking World Into New Great Depression, International Chamber of Commerce Warns

 The world economy could face a crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s By Joshua Kirby


'Take the gun'
😂
This was foreseen (by those who are not #American) and know some history.
#Trump / #Bondi talk about 'Take the Gun...'

No #dictator wants guns around his domain
Today #US is no longer protected 'by a' #Constitution that guaranteed the #Second Amendment or any right
By voting Trump Americans renounced the protection of their rights and they did so consciously
It was inevitable that Trump began to talk about 'Take the Gun Away'
not for the right reasons, >just to protect his ass.

Is anybody else worried about trump declaring (or attempting to declare) martial law? The Constitution's vague about it.


"Canceling contracts without notice violates the #law. Mass firing federal employees without cause violates the law... most egregiously, Musk’s deletion of entire #government depts & Trump’s refusal to spend money as directed by budget bills violates the #Constitution...

#Congress has the power of the purse, & “feeding #USAID to the woodchipper” violates the separation of powers because Congress established the agency & allocated funds"

#Musk #Trump #Coup #News #US
Sub-heading and text from article:
Laws are laws

In reality, most of what Musk is doing is flatly illegal.

Canceling contracts without notice violates the law. Mass firing federal employees without cause violates the law. Cutting federal funds for all scientific and medical research violates the law. But most egregiously, Musk’s deletion of entire government departments and Trump’s refusal to spend money as directed by the budget bills violates the Constitution. That’s why multiple courts have enjoined the Trump administration from blanket spending cuts.

It is axiomatic that Congress has the power of the purse, and “feeding USAID to the woodchipper” violates the separation of powers because Congress established the agency and allocated funds to it as part of the federal budget.

As Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, wrote last week in the New York Times:

[block quote]
Congress, not the executive branch, has the power of the purse, meaning the power to control federal spending. It is right there, as clear as day in Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law.”

This is a bedrock principle of our government, which President Trump and his unchecked billionaire buddy are attempting to subvert.
[end block quote]


Do not concede.

The Constitution still presides as I write this, and don’t dare pretend otherwise. Push back on their overreaching. He must obey the law, he _must_. No kings.

Our despair is the only path they have to victory. Deny them.

#NoKings #USpol #coup #Constitution


Elon Musk spent over $200 million to buy the Presidency then shoved Trump out of the way as soon as the election was declared putting himself in charge of the Oval Office.

The move is unconstitutional, illegal and amounts to no less than a coup.

Text from article (edited for length):
...the richest man in the world fired off a couple Nazi salutes for the delight of the voting base and then he and his gang of pimple-faced digital stoßtruppen started firing everyone else...

It's smash-and-grab looting of our entire shared life together as human society, enacted by a guy who needs none of it, a man who has fattened himself in time of slaughter, who eats long after he is full to bursting, who grinds other humans between his strange teeth just for the love of chewing. And one thing I know about Republicans is that they either love it or they don't give a shit, and you'll know it too, if you ask them.

What he's doing is illegal, if you care about law. It's massively expensive, if you care about expense. It's a national security crisis, if you care about national security. It's unconstitutional, if you care about the Constitution. It's likely to be devastating to the economy, if you care about the economy. It's burning the future for us and for our children, if you care about children. It's the most corrupt activity in the history of our country, if you care about corruption. Republican Americans claim to care about these things. They observably do not.

No Republican with any power to do anything about this is doing anything to stop any of it, and almost all Republicans at whatever level of power are either monumentally complacent or actually happy about what's happening.


Before election day pathologically lying Donnie repeatedly denied any affiliation with the subversive authors of "Project 2025", following his incurable psychopathic urge to lie.

Yet what he's responsible for now is exactly having "Project 2025"'s subversive plot to sabotage U.S. government put into practice.

Firing the aspiring fascist Trump regime & its conspiring subversive bastards of the people's democracy, before they can inflict even more damage on the nation, government & country is who now?
Public servants & the sovereign of all government, the people.

How John Roberts Teed Up Elon Musk’s War on the Court
https://newrepublic.com/article/191528/elon-musk-judicial-crisis-roberts

"Musk’s strategy w/ #DOGE appears to be to create enough on-the-ground damage... that #Congress, the #courts... can’t readily reverse things. A certain amount of lawlessness is baked into this approach...

#Musk appears hostile to the idea that he can be constrained by a judge at all. He does not seem to know or care how the #Constitution works... After all, he grew up in apartheid-era #SouthAfrica"

#ElonMusk #News
Text from article:
Musk’s strategy with DOGE appears to be to create enough on-the-ground damage—with dismantled agencies, fired employees, harvested data, frozen payments, and so on—that Congress, the courts, and a future Democratic administration can’t readily reverse things. A certain amount of lawlessness is baked into this approach. You can’t “move fast and break things,” as Silicon Valley’s ruling class likes to put it, if you have to comply with pesky bureaucratic and statutory requirements.

But it also seems to run deeper than that. Musk appears hostile to the idea that he can be constrained by a judge at all. He does not seem to know or care how the Constitution works. Some unfamiliarity is understandable: After all, he grew up in apartheid-era South Africa and did not receive an American civics education. His reflexive accusation that the judges are engaged in corruption merely for ruling against him and the administration is straight out of an authoritarian playbook.
