The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Look, I have lots of personal feelings about the kind of person and public servant Kristi Noem is, and I don't feel sorry for her in the least, but these dudes have never met a woman they wouldn't throw under the bus to save their own skins.
"insofar as the Court has inquired into the identities of the decisionmaking officials for purposes of making a potential criminal referral, the actions were taken by DHS (through Secretary Noem) after being formally advised about compliance with this Court’s order" by both DHS and DOJ counsel.
![Accordingly, the Government maintains that its actions did not violate the Court’s
order—certainly not with the clarity required for criminal contempt—and no further proceedings
are warranted or appropriate. Indeed, the mere fact that Judge Katsas agreed with Defendants’
interpretation of the TRO means that the order could not have been so “clear and decisive” that it
left “no doubt about what it require[d] to be done,” as criminal contempt requires. United States
v. Joyce, 498 F.2d 592, 596 (7th Cir. 1974); see also Ford v. Kammerer, 450 F.2d 279, 280 (3d Cir.
1971) (“long-standing, salutary rule in contempt cases is that ambiguities and omissions in orders
redound to the benefit of the person charged with contempt”); United States ex rel. Yelverton v.
Fed. Ins. Co., 831 F.3d 585, 587 (D.C. Cir. 2016) (same).
10. Nevertheless, insofar as the Court has inquired into the identities of the decisionmaking officials for purposes of making a potential criminal referral, the actions were taken by
DHS (through Secretary Noem) after being formally advised about compliance with this Court’s
order both by DOJ leadership and the Acting General Counsel of DHS.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qqdqgzpqwyho4cxzso62m54q/bafkreieabw7jaju4xufouskydmfdiwrac2pwmdl6rc24ecurqwvnxsgngi@jpeg)

Having been through the incredibly traumatic process of selling a book, this thread is important!
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
