The Trump DOJ argues in this case of mistaken deportation is that the *only* claim anyone can bring seeking the wrongfully deported person’s return from the black pit of a Salvadoran prison is a habeas petition that the court has no jurisdiction to hear. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
"We're sorry but we can't comply with your habeas petition because we no longer have any authority over the prisoner" is not a good response.
The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because he’s now in Salvadoran custody.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine in a day, lower grocery costs, and protect Social Security. Maybe he should try focusing on his current term before making nonsensical statements about a third one.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.
But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.
