Challengers filed the document, from a U.N. investigation, in court on Monday. An update on the rule of law: Alien Enemies Act, birthright citizenship, and law firm litigation.
❣️ Chris - your SubStacks are so appreciated. Thanks for insights & status of cases.
“In the filing, those challenging the administration asserted that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that that “jurisdiction and legal responsibility” for those sent there remains “exclusively” with the U.S. (Much more on that below.)”
It strikes me that the DOJ plan to appeal everything is going to wind up with there being so many cases that it will exhaust the lawyers available to them and begin to look even more like the Keystone Cops.
Interesting development: The DoJ is willing to dance with SCOTUS to delay its Project 2025 dreams of ending birthright citizenship AND ridding the nation of unwanted brown skinned people … but will let Trump’s law firm litigation slide. I guess we all know who’s really boss—the Project 2025 Boyz.
Regarding: “The Court … reminds the Government that any official who makes knowingly false statements in a sworn declaration subjects himself to perjury prosecution.“
I have become quite cynical and disillusioned. As much as I like to see wins in the legal challenges against Trump, and the admonishments about perjury, I must ask, can't Trump just pardon anyone who violates the Law, and hence, these legal threats be ignored? I am not sure how much reach Presidential Pardons have.
So if *America* isn't responsible for them, and *El Salvador* isn't responsible for them, then.... 😐
Again, excellent analysis in such troubling times—if it were I, spluttering abounding.
