Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, do not mince words:

"[T]his Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied. I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion."
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting. In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with cau- tion. In this case, the Government took the opposite ap- proach. It wrongfully deported one plaintiff to Guatemala, even though an Immigration Judge found he was likely to face torture there. Then, in clear violation of a court order, it deported six more to South Sudan, a nation the State De- partment considers too unsafe for all but its most critical personnel. An attentive District Court’s timely interven- tion only narrowly prevented a third set of unlawful remov- als to Libya. Rather than allowing our lower court colleagues to man- age this high-stakes litigation with the care and attention it plainly requires, this Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeat- edly defied. I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion.

This is a bombshell story.

“Most of these numbers are apparently still in use. There are WhatsApp profiles…and even Signal accounts in some cases.”

“It was particularly easy for DER SPIEGEL reporters to discover Hegseth’s mobile number & email address.“💥

Hegseth’s Whatsapp profile pic.

A picture of Hegseth with two of his children. Hegseth is topless and wearing a baseball cap. DER SPIEGEL has published the photo in full but I have covered the faces of the children to try and protect their identity.

FYI Looks like someone hacked your Twitter account. You should shut it down. Msnbc affiliated people appear to be specifically targeted, to discredit you/them.
