    'Oopsie': Marco Rubio blasted as he joins El Salvador president in mocking U.S. judge

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined El Salvador President Nayib Bukele in mocking a U.S. court's order to halt deportation of migrants to that Central American country, a court filing posted Monday claims.

    MSNBC and Just Security legal analyst Adam Klasfeld posted a screen capture of the filing from attorneys challenging President Donald Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport migrants. Despite a federal judge blocking the use of the act, Trump sent 261 people to El Salvador on Saturday. CBS News reported Monday that 137 of those individuals were deported using the 1798 law.
    ..............................................
    "Fed judge orders deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gangbangers to return to the U.S., blocks Trump from invoking Alien Enemies Act," the El Salvadoran president tweeted, including a link to a New York Post article. "Oopsie ... Too late." he wrote with a laughing-crying emoji.

    Rubio reposted the comments from his personal X account.

    Roberts needs to speak up

    Judge who ordered deportation flights of Venezuelan gang members be returned faces calls for impeachment

    After Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg issued an order Saturday halting President Donald Trump's rapid deportation of Venezuelan gang members, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill swiftly announced plans to file articles of impeachment in an effort to remove him.

    Gill made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, noting he would be filing the motion this week. In a subsequent tweet from Elon Musk, the entrepreneur turned Trump advisor responded simply, "Necessary."

    "The very worst judges – those who repeatedly flout the law – should at least be put to an impeachment vote, whether that vote succeeds or not," Musk followed up in a separate post on X Monday.

    Canadian Actor Detained By ICE Speaks Out On 'Inhumane' Conditions

    Seeking to renew her travel authorization, Mooney then attempted to enter the U.S. through the San Ysidro border crossing in San Diego, where she originally obtained her visa, but was detained on March 3.

    She was held for three nights at San Diego’s Otay Mesa Detention Center, where she described alarming conditions.

    “I was put in a cell and had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, just an aluminum foil wrap over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,” Mooney told San Diego’s ABC affiliate, KGTV.

    She was later transferred to Arizona’s San Luis Regional Detention Center with 30 other women, all shackled for the duration of their journey.
    “We were up for 24 hours wrapped in chains,” she told KGTV from detention, adding, “I’ve never in my life seen anything so inhumane.”

    There's nobody who will speak up.

    We have invested the powers of the federal government into the hands of a criminal who uses abuses those powers for personal gain, and to acquire more power.

    It's been obvious for years; the Trumppublican party is now literally a criminal organization. They tried to criminally overturn a legitimate election - there's probably very little they would not do.

    its unbelievable that they would kick out these illegal criminal aliens. Even more unbelievable is that there are actually people who think they should be allowed to stay in the US.

    I think there's a strong case to be made that needing to enact something from the 1700s to justify deportation is "that one exception."

    Personally, I think the government should have to prove that someone is a gang member before shipping them off to harsh prison in a foreign country where they'll have no means to contact anyone for help if they were wrongfully deported.

    When you think about it, it is kind of unbelievable that they would send incarcerated alleged criminals to a country not of their origin, which they paid to incarcerate for transgressions alleged to have happened in or against our country.

    Unbelievable indeed.

    Constitutional protections should apply to all. Removing said protections to one group is a slippery slope that allows said protections to be removed for another group...And then another group, then another....This is the direct road to Fascism. Those of us who understand this aren't saying these immigrants shouldn't be deported. We're stating suspending the Constitution by invoking powers preserved for a POTUS during a time of war is the wrong way to go about it.

    Still waiting for a link to anyone coming out in favor of keeping gang members in the US. Hint: they aren't. It is the principles involved. The end does not justify the means if these principles are eroded. All fine and dandy until they come for you.

    The undocumented immigrants who were deported without due process. Which is why the judge ordered the deportations to stop.

    1. judges order to turn planes around was oral but not in written order. Admin didn't view an oral order as a legal order so didn't think the turn the planes around was a real order they had to listen to

    2. attorneys refused to say when planes took off citing national security..wth is national security about when the planes took off

    this is just blatant disrespect. should have sent them both to jail for contempt on the spot

    'You felt you could disregard it?': Judge grills Trump DOJ over White House ignoring court order because it was oral, quips his verbal rulings 'don't seem to carry much weight' anymore


    A federal judge grilled one of President Donald Trump‘s Justice Department lawyers on Monday about whether administration officials blatantly ignored a court order he issued blocking the deportations of migrants to El Salvador — asking him, “You felt you could disregard it?” — after the lawyer claimed the White House didn’t have to follow the judge’s court directive because it was given orally.

    “I memorialize it in shorthand, but you’re telling me that that very clear point, you’re saying that you felt you could disregard it? Because it wasn’t in the written order?” asked U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg. Deputy Associate Attorney General Abhishek Kambli claimed that the Trump administration believes “there was no order given” because the written order is what controls things and an oral order from the bench is not enforceable. “So your first point is, ‘We didn’t have to obey your oral ruling,'” Boasberg said.
    ..................................
    The Trump administration has asserted that it fully complied with the court’s written order and has even implored the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to remove Boasberg from the case for making DOJ lawyers defend the administration’s actions in an “open, public hearing.” On Monday, Kambli repeatedly refused to answer questions about what went down with the deportations, citing “national security concerns” that prevented him from providing information about what happened — but admitting that he had no idea why.

    “Those are operational issues, and I am not at liberty to provide — or authorized to provide — any information on how many planes left,” Kambli said. “The information that I am authorized to provide is that no planes took off from the United States after the written order came through, and the other information that I can relay is that the two planes that the plaintiffs cite in their filing, the timing of whether it was during the verbal order or the written order does not have any material bearing based on the timeline that they’ve given.”
