"If the Supreme Court fails to address the Trump Administration’s lawless behavior throughout these proceedings, and if this decision deprives the DC Court of any jurisdiction over the obvious contempt of court that occurred, then Roberts and company have dealt a devastating blow to the rule of law generally."

"Over the weekend, President Trump responded favorably to the suggestion from the president of El Salvador that he could house U.S. prisoners in his notorious prisons: 'I love that,' Trump told reporters on Air Force One."

"Why hasn’t the Trump administration acted to secure Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release? After all, he is there because of a government screw-up.

The answer can only be that it is using this case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop the Trump administration from imprisoning anyone it wants anywhere else in the world."

"Inscribed above the front entrance of the U.S. #SupremeCourt is a simple, four-word inscription: Equal justice under law. The phrase doesn’t require a great deal of explanation, but it does require fortification. At the moment, the nation has a president who cares deeply about due process for himself but wants to strip it from others."

ACLU brings class habeas action in N.Y. challenging Trump’s use of wartime powers for deportations
A hearing in the new Alien Enemies Act litigation is already set for Wednesday morning. lawdork.com/p/aclu-brings-clas

The ACLU filed a class petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday challenging President Donald Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation and the implementation of it. The filing was a near-immediate response to Monday's 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that challenges to Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation must be brought in habeas.

The Southern District of New York, according to the petition, is where the two individual petitioners are located, or at least were at the time when the petition was filed. Although only two individuals are named — with pseudonyms — the ACLU’s intention is for a full class to be protected if the litigation succeeds.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a Clinton appointee who has overseen many high-profile cases, has already scheduled a hearing on the motion for a temporary restraining order for 9 a.m. Wednesday — and ordered the petitioners not to be deported or moved out of the district in the meantime.

Take that SCOTUS.

#SupremeCourt Allows #Trump to Use 1798 Wartime Law to #Deport People

The nation's highest court backed Trump's use of the #AlienEnemiesAct to speed up #deportations

by Charisma Madarang, April 8, 2025

"The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a massive win on Monday, voting 5-4 to allow his administration to continue rapidly deporting alleged gang members using the Alien Enemies Act.
The law, passed in 1798, gives presidents the authority to remove foreign nationals over the age of 14 from countries where the United States is either engaged in a declared war or subject to “invasion or predatory incursion” by their country of origin. The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations.
In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, known for human rights abuses.

"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '#habeas petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained.

"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice #AmyConeyBarrett, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented. Barrett joined Justice #SoniaSotomayor’s dissent calling the majority’s legal conclusion 'suspect' and questioning if habeas claims should be the only way to contest deportations under the act.

"'The Court’s legal conclusion is suspect,' wrote #Sotomayor. 'The Court intervenes anyway, granting the Government extraordinary relief and vacating the District Court’s order on that basis alone.'"
