When the VP says they "do not think military force will ever be necessary," he’s saying it’s on the table.
Greenland is of strategic importance, but this Administration needs to stop threatening our allies — because without allies, we are less safe.
It’s that simple.

Here's the bit where, 6 hours before Pam Bondi invoked State Secrets to cover the planes, ACLU pointed out that Trump and Rubio already acknowledged those were the planes.

In addition to providing declarations from people who were returned from El Salvador (a woman and a Nicaraguan), ACLU uses Bukele's own propaganda video, and Trump & Rubio's RTing of it, to prove that the flights were the ones tracked publicly.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![In addition, public information shows that two planes were still in the air when the Court
issued both its oral and written Orders. Most significantly, based on information publicized by
U.S. government officials and publicly available flight data, at least two flights took off during
the hearing on March 15—one at 5:26pm EDT and the other at 5:45pm EDT—and landed well
after this Court’s written Order had been filed. See Pls. Resp. to Defs. Notice (ECF No. 21); see
also Joyce Sohyun Lee and Kevin Schaul, Deportation Flights Landed after Judge Said Planes
Should Turn Around, Wash. Post (Mar. 16, 2025).
2 And the video released by President Bukele
that shows Plaintiff class members being hauled off the planes in El Salvador includes each plane’s tail number.3 That video was then reposted by both President Trump4 and Secretary of
State Rubio.5

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth.
But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

As noted, ACLU cited both this Trump post and a Marco Rubio one and noted that he tail numbers were visible in a post earlier. Noem's declaration appears to have been scanned after Bondi and Rubio's so I wonder if they tweaked it.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The Secretary of Defense and some of the Trump administration's highest-ranking officials recklessly shared highly sensitive military plans in a Signal group chat.
The Trump administration must provide the American people with clear answers regarding how this security breach occurred.
