Judge Xinis *grants* the government a partial extension but only until 11:30 AM today. Nice.

NEW

#Trump’s #DOJ is trying to cancel today's #KilmarAbregoGarcia hearing & delay filing a response to the judge's order until next week.

The 9:30 deadline has passed with no information from the Justice Department about Abrego Garcia's location or status, as demanded by the judge. She has not granted an extension, unclear if she will.

#SCOTUS’ decision was unanimous. Additionally it suggests someone held overseas can still be given due process.
Ya think? Especially given that the #Trump admin is paying #ElSalvador to detain the *deportees*

There is going to be a whole lot of arguing about what "facilitate" means / entails.

#SCOTUS writes:

The order properly requires the Government to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador

#KilmarAbregoGarcia, a Salvadoran migrant who was living in Maryland & has had a work permit since 2019, was stopped & detained by #ICE officers on March 12 & questioned about his *alleged* gang affiliation. He was deported on March 15 on one of three high-profile #deportation flights to #ElSalvador that also included alleged Venezuelan gang members.

#MarcoRubio’s letter is the #Trump admin's entire case against #MahmoudKhalil.

The letter, which was undated, was released by Khalil's legal team on Thurs, the day after the Trump admin submitted it in an #immigration court filing. Rubio writes that Khalil's continued presence in the US would have "potentially serious adverse foreign consequences, & would compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest."

Makled does not think it's a coincidence that he was targeted after deciding to represent this client following the #Trump admin's crackdown on #visa holders who have expressed support for #Palestine.

"The purpose of searching my phone doesn't have anything to do with terrorism, there is only a chilling effect, & it's done to be intimidating."

Border agents pressured Makled to hand over his cell phone. He refused. After more than 90 minutes of back-&-forth, he showed agents his contacts list. He was eventually released. Makled says he was never given a reason for his detainment.

However, one of his current clients is a #student who has been charged in connection to a pro-#Palestinian #protest at the University of Michigan.

[#Trump’s] #ExecutiveOrders against #PerkinsCoie & other law firms were illegal not just because they violate constitutional rights, but because they offend the #Constitution’s structure: the orders are “ultra vires, because they were based on no valid #NationalSecurity concern, issued w/o any colorable legal authority, & unconstitutionally interfere with the #SeparationOfPowers.”

In that famously hot, stuffy room in Philadelphia, windows closed for the sake of secrecy, they sweated & argued about how to limit the powers of the American executive. They arrived at the idea of dividing #power between different branches of govt. As James Madison wrote in “Federalist No. 47”: “The accumulation of all powers, #legislative, #executive, & #judiciary in the same hands…may justly be pronounced the very definition of #tyranny.”

#law #Constitution #SeparationOfPowers #Trump

No one, apparently, is willing to prevent a single man from destroying the world #economy, wrecking financial #markets, forcing this country & other countries into #recession if that’s what #Trump feels like doing when he gets up tomorrow morning.

This is what arbitrary, absolute power looks like. And this is why the men who wrote the #Constitution never wanted anyone to have it.
