The most important pattern is that these courts are telling the executive branch to facilitate return, not immediatelyq return. They are giving deference to the Constitutional authority of the Executive branch with regard to immigration. Moreover, the Legislative branch has criminalized civil law, ie immigration, by requiring penalties for actions - or inactions - by immigrants and at the discretion of the Executive. All the protesting senators and reps have the power to change our laws and create new guardrails for Executive action, pending Judicial review of course. I haven't seen that happen and it should. Clearly our immigration program is fraught with inconsistencies and unintended consequences.
The courts are totally not supporting the immediate return or even immediate opportunity for them to get due process. They could, but they're not. The way they word the rulings is allowing these men to stay there while the administration keeps getting to “redo” it's crappy reasoning for sending them there either through the appeal, or the next court case against them.
These ladies explain it better in their podcast.
Strict Scrutiny: SCOTUS Lets Trump Play Word Games
Hit the streets June 14th! Sign the National Strike pledge! Don't know how, but we need a national tax strike as well, show who really controls the power of the purse, we the people!!!
Let's ruin Chump's B'day. We need 3.5% or the population, or around 12,000,000 people to be present. So bring all your friends and families, bring your pets. Spread the word as far and wide as possible.
Thank you for sharing. And for anyone who wants to judge him for a small possession of cocaine can look at our current director of HHS and his 20 years of illegal heroin use.
Many among us have experimented in our youth, perhaps even now. Does that mean we are degenerates? No! Most among us use various means outside our physical selves to cope, disengage, process life. That is NOT a reason to use our mistakes to “rid” society of us! How many of us come home from a job we do not like and pour a stiff drink, take anti anxiety meds, or eat too much to stuff our feelings, exercise beyond just staying healthy, etc! We are ALL human which means we are imperfect. If we learn from those errors in judgement, we and society is all the better for it! We cannot and I will not forget those horrifically stolen! I am sickened by All of this and I worry quite a bit about all, but typically I pray for Andry Hernandez Romero! I want proof of life.
He is the young artist, openly gay, sent to CECOT.
I am a Christian, and I pray for him everyday. He, too, was stolen the night before his immigration hearing. From what I have read and heard from his attorney he was doing things correctly - DID NOT MATTER!
Really?? Why not his decades of clean and sober, his stellar service to restore the Hudson River watershed, his successful lawsuit vs. Monsanto and especially his dedication to the health and lives of children ?
1. The Alien Enemies Act should never have been invoked here… we are not at war with Venezuela or El Salvador.
2. We have 3 branches in our government: Legislative/Executive/Judiciary…. “Checks and Balances.
3. When a president defies a Supreme Court’s order, he not only thumbs his nose at the judge, he thumbs his nose at our Constitution.
4. Why are these Orders not being enforced? If this were Joe Biden, I’m sure there would be outrage. And action would be taken to Facilitate the Impeachment of a President who clearly violated his Oath of Office.
5. Enforce the rulings of the Court, and bring back these men, women and children (some who were U.S. citizens)….Now.
A huge part of the problem is that the Rs control what comes to the floor for a vote in both houses of Congress. Therefore, Ds can’t get a vote on anything. Another is that the Courts do not have their own enforcement mechanism. No police, no army. Regular police aren’t asked to arrest government officials or agents. US Marshals are apparently working with the ice goons. If the military gets into it, it looks like a coup. I hope someone has an idea. 👹
It’s so important to know the stories of each individual that was illegally whisked away in chains under the cover of darkness. It reminds us of their humanity and of their friends & families trying to bear up not knowing or understanding what’s happening to their loved ones. We need to keep shining a light on the evil that’s being done & the people perpetuating that evil.
Contempt is the signature characteristic of this fascist regime.
Wouldn’t it be nice to see some federal Marshall’s clapping cuffs on these attorneys and working on up the chain? The judges are not powerless, the US Marshall service is controlled by and must answer to court orders.
Sadly, while the U.S. Marshall's service primary mission is to execute court orders, they're actually under the control of The White House. Perverse but true.
Thanks for your diligence and keeping us informed on this situation. It's maddening, but important to know. What if the courts simply say, "effectuate their immediate return" ? F*ck deference. That is still following the law, is it not?

You can sign the General Strike Card at GeneralStrikeUS.com. This could have a huge impact. Pledge to strike America!
States can collect federal taxes and then not send them to the Feds. Yes, this is a thing. So call your state govt and demand they do that.
The feds cannot say then that you didn’t pay them cuz the State has the money.
Yes! Rise! Resist! ✊✊✊
Let's ruin Chump's B'day. We need 3.5% or the population, or around 12,000,000 people to be present. So bring all your friends and families, bring your pets. Spread the word as far and wide as possible.

Bottom line is we all need to DO. Something to obviate the crazy to our fellow citizens. Now and everyday in the next weeks

DUE PROCESS! RULE OF LAW!
Andry Hernandez Romero is the kidnapped prisoner I worry most about also. He seems to be forgotten by most people.
Me too, MaryMcC.
Really?? Why not his decades of clean and sober, his stellar service to restore the Hudson River watershed, his successful lawsuit vs. Monsanto and especially his dedication to the health and lives of children ?

Me too, Rachael! It brings me to tears of anger and frustration! It seems every branch is paralyzed (except Executive) because of Bondi and Patel!
Next step arrest this Homegrown Treasonous Terror. He's just a man who broke many laws. If no man is above the law, why is he still walking free?
He has many enablers in high positions, in the SCOTUS and both chambers of Congress.

Enough already. The trump regime is NOT acting in good faith and NO court should treat them like they are.
Homeland Security Head Noem sat in front of Congressional committee and flat out said they refused to bring them back from El Salvador.
She needs to be JAILED for Contempt until these illegally trafficked immigrants are returned for proper due process.
Let’s see how long SHE can handle a jail cell before she caves.
Oh no! Whatever will she do without her Botox? Wouldn’t that be a shame!
She'll just murder another dog. That's how she gets her kicks.
I would give this a heart, but it needs to be a broken heart of this pup lover!
I agree. When I first heard about what she did, it made me feel really sick, and mad as hell.
The whole administration needs to be guillotined.
Great of you to stay with these cases. What is the way forward? Are there any politicos fighting trump?
This is so heartbreakingly cruel, I’ve run out of words and names for emotions. It has to be stopped, this inhumane treatment.
Contempt is the signature characteristic of this fascist regime.
Wouldn’t it be nice to see some federal Marshall’s clapping cuffs on these attorneys and working on up the chain? The judges are not powerless, the US Marshall service is controlled by and must answer to court orders.

The tRump administration is evil.
Bring them all home

They will pay less attention to this order than they did for Garcia.
The constitution is not a suggestion… it is a guarantee.
His tariff crap is going down so….abolishing habeas corpus appears to be a good distraction.
Apparently. He sent Steven Miller to tell us
