Ellis: "With respect to the Broadview facility, the detention facility, that is under ICE jurisdiction, correct?"

Byers: "Yes, it's an ICE-owned facility."

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

The next administration--which, God willing, will be sane--should try Trump for murder. The insane, politicized, wholly-made-up Supreme Court immunity decision should be overridden--Congress should legislate sensible immunity rules, and strip courts' jurisdiction to review.
Colombia: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters”

“Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.”

“The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”

A few points on Trump and Hegseth and everyone else who murdered Colombian fishermen on a Colombian boat in Colombian territorial waters:

1. Colombia has jurisdiction.
2. There is no statute of limitations for murder.
3. Colombia has an extradition treaty with the US.

Mahmoud Khalil's appellate arguments are ongoing — with a rough reception for DOJ's lawyer.

One judge blasts the legal "black hole" of DOJ's jurisdiction arguments; another cites findings govt gave Khalil's lawyers "misinformation."

Rising This Week: 7 million people
After massive protests, watch out for more pressure on Trump this week, including Epstein-related revelations and reckonings on vindictive prosecution.

OK. That's nice. The proper response to this is "fuck you very much", pardon my French. You have no jurisdiction here.

Any judge can essentially move sua sponte on anything, even a Supreme Court Justice. Usually it's used for a judge to say "I don't have jurisdiction, but on my own accord I'm moving it to a venue that *does* have jurisdiction."

*Very* rare to have a judge move for en banc rehearing on their own.

🧵1/ Gonna just say: 6 or 7 careers ago, I worked at an architecture firm, and it could (no joke) take years or decades to change a WINDOW due to overlapping claims of jurisdiction due to historic preservation + zoning.

If the WHITE HOUSE (!!)can skip such fights, all bets are off. It’s open season
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Beside calling the destruction of Nord Steam gas pipeline a justified military action by Ukraine against Russia, the judge denied German jurisdiction over the incident in Baltic Sea international waters and said Germany failed to provide sufficient evidence against Zhuravlov.

Will Scharf, the White House staff secretary, said that the National Capital Planning Commission "does not have jurisdiction over demolition work for buildings on federal property, only construction."

“But what about Citizens United?!”

That affects independent expenditures, not direct donations to state legislative campaigns.

We have the authority and jurisdiction to do it. We just need the will to pass it.

Inciting genocide and attempting or conspiring to commit genocide are crimes under U.S. law.

Jurisdiction exists regardless of where the offense was committed, if the offender is present in the United States.

According to independent investigations by Colombian media, nearly every "fact" that Hegseth reported about the Sep 15 attack was wrong. Most significantly, the attack occurred in Colombian territorial waters, meaning it is subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC whether Hegseth likes that or not.

Could you imagine of we changed speed limits here? Drivers can't even see stop signs. I lived on Jarvis and saw the routine head-ons in the changing centre lane. sigh. (lowest skill drivers in any subnational jurisdiction - welcome to Ontario)
The geofencing is a great idea!
I had not even considered it.

Have it setup based on day/ time, & any events etc.

In Helsinki the highways have speed limits that change based on conditions, which I thought was brilliant.
It helps eliminate the hard starts, & stops, but making all speed consistent.

Oh, right...no probable cause, no jurisdiction,,, we know fucking well they considered shooting them and throwing them overboard. Some enlisted sailors are looking at each other wondering about war crimes and certain the officers are not going down.

The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute.

But then again, Nazi Germany never signed a treaty recognizing the jurisdiction of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. And that didn't stop anyone from putting the bastards on trial.

The ICC could learn from that example.
