The lawsuits challenge the Trump administration's military deployment efforts and harsh treatment of protesters and journalists. More hearings are set for later this week.
Thank you, Chris, for your post. It is much appreciated. The district and state courts are the last bastion protecting the rule of law. Judge Ellis got it exactly right: “Transparency and faith in the rule of law” are critical to protecting the rights under our Constitution.
Hmm, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth - both appreciators of fine YOUNG women - open a war in two fronts—blue cities and the federal courts. Expect the cities to be invaded … and the courts to be ignored.
More District Court overreach. More than that, for a district court judge to compare her situation, guarded by Federal Marshals if need be, and doing her job in a courtroom where cameras and social media are not permitted, with the doxxing that can be done to ICE agents something to the full visibility of social media, and without any protection whatsoever, is flat-out cynical
The fact that that first sentence is your comment when there were no TROs issued today — and where both judges appeared to bend over backwards to give DOJ a chance to make its best case and get its best possible answers and responses from its clients — tells me a lot.
The feeling is entirely mutual. You reported an extenso and in an approving manner, the oral argument in the comments of the Court, particularly the obnoxiously disingenuous comments about doxing with respect to ICE agents. You probably assume I'm some sort of Trump loyalist. You're dead wrong. But like it or not, this bozo was elected President of the United States, and the basic call on the propriety of the use of the National Guard is his, not some highly politicized District Court judge. The principle of judicial abstention is pretty important here.
Has it occurred to you that this sort of litigation could have been brought against the National Guard deployment in Little Rock in 1957 and Mississippi in 1963? Shocked? The situations are alike in that important Federal interests - in the earlier cases civil rights, in this case effective enforcement of immigration law - are in the president's judgment not receiving effective support from local law enforcement. That's that's not a judgment a local District Court is in a position to countermand.
I think you're going to discover when the cases in which the Supreme Court intervened this summer are fully litigated that it is not nearly as loyal to Trump as you continually proclaim. What was going on was an attempt to rein in maverick district courts. These are two more that are almost certain to see the ruling set aside in the interim, as is likely the case with Portland
We don't even have a clue to who these agents are. They are masked, sometimes not in uniform, and without badges. Give me one example of doxxing an ICE agent. Bah!
I don't think the Nazis had to worry about vigilantes attacking their dependents, with the full approval of too many members of the public.
In any case, these guys are regular peace officers, and subject to the various laws and constraints of the federal government. Bystanders might not know who they are, but the detainees do, if it comes to whether legal action is appropriate.
ICE doesn’t deserve any special privileges, such as masks, not generally extended to law enforcement. And if they weren’t abusing their power and violating people’s rights they wouldn’t have to worry about being recorded and potentially identified. Cause and effect…
Sure it does. The legacy media has managed to demonize these guys, even though they're ordinary peace officers. Regular beat patrol guys don't have to worry about people tracking down their loved ones. But that's just what will happen, and has has happened, to ICE officers.
Curious whether there’s a single example of any of Trumps goons, from Homan to Bovino to some guy behind a mask, being physically threatened, swatted, etc., much less injured in body or property. That includes family members.
Right at the moment, I understand two young women have been indicted in Southern California, after following a couple of ice agents home, and attempting to post personal information on social media. If you search on YouTube or x, you'll find other instances.
Clair here 💕There is a lot of “ legal hanky panky” going on with Trump and his legal team apparently in the drivers seat .. as gehad set up situations that he has labeled Insurrection which gives him unlimited power to combat ..
It’s November 1938 Germany behavior. The Kristallnacht .. is it too late to stop?..yes!
Just recall the electorate voted two times for Trump for President.. and 40!% still support his actions.
The courts, particularly the Supreme Court is his Kangaroo Court.. it’s in his pouch. The Robert’s Court will go down in history as the worst court in the history of this country..
I don’t know why they even bother to meet.. the results are all “ behind the door decisions “.,. Knock ,Knock who’s there… it’s The Donald with your decisions.
Somehow, this gives me hope. I continue to resist. I am hopeful that the judiciary hold fast to their oaths to the constitution.

Yes. Those two don’t really GAF about either consent or rule of law.
Apparently saying “No” is just an accepted part of romance to these manly boyz.

OK, Frank.
Wow, what a mouthful! Preprepared?
Yes, never mind trampling all over the U.S. Constitution.
We don't even have a clue to who these agents are. They are masked, sometimes not in uniform, and without badges. Give me one example of doxxing an ICE agent. Bah!
They're all appropriately identified on the reports and filings made to the court. They aren't anonymous
Then why do they wear masks?
So that idiots with phone cameras can't record them, ID them and make the lives of their wives and children hell. Are you living on this planet?
Not even the Nazis wore masks.
I don't think the Nazis had to worry about vigilantes attacking their dependents, with the full approval of too many members of the public.

They have their guns.

It's your job to cite these details, not ours to seek them out.
Wrong. It's everybody's job to find out what's going on in the world. I don't run a subscription blog.
