A youth baseball coach in Manhattan says six ICE agents approached his
middle and high school players during practice in Riverside Park, asking
them where they were from and about their parents; Yeoman Wilder,
founder of Harlem Baseball Hitting Academy and a law school graduate,
intervened, told the kids to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights, and says
one officer called him a “YouTube lawyer"—despite all the players being
U.S. citizens.

[another noteworthy section is on Souter’s confirmation hearings]

When the Senate #Judiciary Cmte hearing began…Senators & reporters quickly realized that Souter was an impressively erudite nominee.…Amid all the concepts & issues he was asked to address, 2…stand out as most revealing: #liberty & #precedent. …Specifically, Souter stressed that in the #DueProcess clause language of the #5thAmendment & #14thAmendment, "the concept of liberty IS NOT LIMITED BY THE SPECIFIC SUBJECTS.”

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals cites news articles about #Trump telling #Bukele that "homegrowns are next."

The Executive possesses enormous powers to prosecute and to deport, but with powers come restraints. If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?∗ And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies? The threat, even if not the actuality, would always be present, and the Executive’s obligation to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” would lose its meaning. U.S. CONST. art. II, § 3; see also id. art. II, § 1, cl. 8

WOW

Judge Wilkinson writes,

"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."

Beautiful.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick has handily outlined #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s legal #immigration history to show that no matter how many times #Trump & his thugs say it, there is no proof #AbregoGarcia is or ever was a M-13 gang member.

TIMELINE ABREGO GARCIA GANG ALLEGATIONS - SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION. 2011-2019: Entry and Early Life: Kilmar Abrego Garcia flees El Salvador to the US at age 16, after M-18 gang members extort his family and threaten to kill him and rape his sisters if they didn’t keep paying. He moves in with his US citizen brother in Maryland and lives there without trouble for years. March 28, 2019: PGPD Arrest. Kilmar is arrested for loitering outside Home Depot while looking for day labor. A Prince Georges County PD detective grills him about whether he’s a gang member. He denies any involvement. Four hours later, he is transferred to ICE custody, without PGPD charging him for any offense. April 2019: ICE Allegations: At a bond hearing, ICE claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. They submit one piece of evidence: a “Gang Field Interview Sheet” (GFIS) filled out by the PGPD detective that claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. The GFIS says (1) he was wearing Chicago Bulls gear, and (2) a “confidential informant” allegedly claimed that Kilmar was a ranking member of the “Westerns” clique, which is in Long Island, a place he has never lived in.

Summer 2019: Investigation: Kilmar’s lawyers reach out to PGPD to investigate these claims. They find out that (1) the police did not even file an incident report about his arrest, and (2) the detective that filled out the GFIS has been suspended for an unknown reason. August 2019: IJ Decision: At his final bond hearing, ICE declines to offer any evidence of gang membership other than what’s in the GFIS. The IJ denies bond, finding that the GFIS is sufficient proof of membership at this time, despite noting its obvious flaws. Kilmar appeals this decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. October 2019: Withholding Win: The immigration judge rules that Kilmar is ineligible for asylum because he filed the application too late. But the judge does grant “withholding of removal,” finding that it was “more likely than not” that he would be subject to persecution if deported to El Salvador. A removal order is issued, but with a restriction that the one country he cannot be deported to is El Salvador.

December 2019: BIA Decision: Kilmar appeals the bond decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The appeals board declines to find “clear error” in the immigration judge’s decision to rely on the GFIS document. However, he is released anyway because he had won withholding of removal. 2019-2025: Normal Life: Kilmar lives a normal life in Maryland with his U.S. citizen wife, their biological son, and his two stepchildren. With his work permit, he gets a job as a sheet metal worker, joins a union, and raises his family in a DC suburb. He doesn’t get into any trouble with the law. March 2025: Sent to CECOT: On March 12, 2025, ICE comes to Kilmar’s home and arrests him in front of his children. Three days later he’s transferred to Texas, where, thanks to an “administrative error,” he is put on a plane to El Salvador and sent to CECOT

NOTICE INVOKING STATE SECRETS PRIVILEGE The Executive Branch hereby notifies the Court that no further information will be provided in response to the Court's March 18, 2025 Minute Order based on the state secrets privilege and the concurrently filed declarations of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security. This is a case about the President's plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate, and reinforced by longstanding statute, to remove from the homeland designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States. The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it. Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address. Accordingly, the states secrets privilege forecloses further demands for details that have no place in this matter, and the government will address the Court's order to show cause tomorrow by demonstrating that there is no basis for the suggestion of non-compliance with any binding order.

They had hearing boards.

The people #Trump deported had no opportunity to apply for habeas. The planes started leaving 2 hours after Trump’s proclamation was signed.

No one subject to the #AEA can be deported without a hearing.

The national security implications also support immediate review. The Court's orders, global in scope, makes further removals of TdA members impossible during this critical period. Even when a person does not pose a threat, removal delayed tends to become removal denied. Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 696 (2001). That is true a fortiori when dealing with some of the most dangerous criminals on Earth. Plaintiffs agree immediate appeal is available from an order removing an alien "to a country where he alleged" he will face harm (Opp. at 7, citing Belbacha, 520 F.3d at 458)—but insists the government cannot immediately appeal an order that may make it impossible to transfer out of our country highly dangerous individuals who are dedicated to causing harm to the American people. That cannot be right.
