Woo hoo!!!!

🚨NEW: The US Court of Appeals for DC just DENIED #Trump's request to stay Judge #Boasberg's halt on the use of the #AlienEnemiesAct.

The decision is 2-1, w/ Trump appointee Judge Walker dissenting [shocker] on jurisdictional [technical, not merits] grounds, arguing the lawsuit should have been brought in Texas.

Just called my Rep and Senators to encourage them to pursue the group chatters as the law requires, shut down the Speaker’s suggestion we close the federal courts and stop the government from taking people without due process and sending them to foreign prisons.

Please call yours too. I used @5calls, and you can also find your people’s contact info here:

#Trump is now attempting to invoke #StateSecrets privilege [🚩] in the #AlienEnemiesAct case, claiming that due to “state secrets” (ignore the fact that trump live tweeted the entire affair) & therefore will give Judge #Boasberg no more information about #deportation flights to inform his decision about whether the gov't defied his orders

There is a #new court filing regarding the #AlienEnemiesAct, w/2 affidavits.

8 women were mistakenly sent to the #ElSalvador prison & had to be flown back.

Nicaraguan man (not Venezuelan) was also mistakenly sent to El Salvador prison & had to be flown back.

This is haphazard execution of a #law that never should have been invoked in the first place, since hello! we aren’t at war with anybody!

This morning, Dpty AG (& fmr #Trump #criminal defense atty who lost the case that resulted in Trump becoming the first convicted #felon to be elected POTUS in history) #ToddBlanche submitted a sworn declaration at confirming that there are ongoing Cabinet-level discussions that Blanche is involved in about whether the admin will invoke the “#StateSecrets privilege” to shield some info from the court.

Todd Blanche sworn declaration: “I am the Deputy Attorney General of the United States. I am submitting this Declaration in response to the Court's March 20, 2025 Order. On March 20, 2025, the Government submitted a declaration from Robert L. Cerna Il, which stated: "I understand that Cabinet Secretaries are currently actively considering whether to invoke the state secrets privilege over the other facts requested by the Court's order. Doing so is a serious matter that requires careful consideration of national security & foreign relations, & it cannot properly be undertaken in just 24 hours." I attest to the accuracy of those statements based on personal knowledge of the events described by Mr. Cerna, including my direct involvement in ongoing Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true & correct.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during an arrest operation in Florida in 2023. Currently, immigration agents without a warrant can do little more than knock on a door and ask to come in.
