“Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters,” #Hegseth posted late Wednesday evening adding that the admin would not relent in its campaign against vessels they claim are bringing drugs destined for the #US. “We will find them & kill them, until the threat to the American people is extinguished.”

It was the 9th known attack by #US Special Operations forces since the operation began in early September, bringing the officially acknowledged death toll to 37. The consecutive strikes in the #Pacific mark an expansion of the campaign, which started in the #Caribbean, & highlights how the effort has evolved into a wider #military operation even as #legal experts & lawmakers on Capitol Hill question the legal basis & strategic purpose.

#ICE Is Cracking Down on #Chicago.
Chicagoans Are Fighting Back.

Residents have begun forming volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal #immigration agents. Others honk their horns or blow whistles when they see agents nearby.

The #Trump admin said on Monday that it had begun a crackdown on illegal #immigration in #Chicago, though local officials & advocates for immigrants around the city said they had seen only a handful of arrests so far.

The #DHS issued a news release announcing the operation, which it called Operation Midway Blitz, & said it would target undocumented immigrants who had criminal records.

The admin deported people it designated as Tren de Aragua members to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador where, it argued, #US #courts could not order them freed.

In a deal announced in July, more than 250 of the deported immigrants returned to #Venezuela.

The #AlienEnemiesAct was only used 3 times before in US history, all during declared #wars — in the War of 1812 & the two World Wars.

The #Trump admin unsuccessfully argued that courts cannot second-guess the president’s determination that Tren de Aragua was connected to #Venezuela’s government & represented a danger to the #US, meriting use of the act.

In a 2-1 ruling, the judges said they granted the preliminary injunction sought by the plaintiffs because they “found no invasion or predatory incursion” in this case.

#LeeGelernt, who argued the case for the #ACLU, said Tuesday: “The #Trump administration’s use of a wartime statute during peacetime to regulate #immigration was rightly shut down by the court. This is a critically important decision reining in the administration’s view that it can simply declare an emergency without any oversight by the courts.”

A 3-judge panel of the #5thCircuit Court of Appeals, one of the most #conservative federal appeals courts in the country, agreed with #ImmigrantRights lawyers & lower court judges who argued the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798 was not intended to be used against gangs like Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan group #Trump targeted in his March invocation.

🚨 #Trump cannot use #AlienEnemiesAct to deport members of Venezuelan gang, appeals court rules

A federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday that Trump cannot use an 18th-century wartime #law to speed the #deportations of people his admin accuses of membership in a Venezuelan gang, blocking a signature admin push that is destined for a final showdown at the #SCOTUS.

How #Trump Used 10 #Emergency Declarations to Justify Hundreds of [otherwise #illegal] Actions

In his 7 months back in office, Trump has declared 9 #national emergencies, plus a “crime emergency” in #Washington. Those emergency declarations have been used to justify hundreds of actions—including #immigration measures, sweeping #tariffs & #energy #deregulation —that would typically require #congress approval or lengthy regulatory review….

“An American Nightmare”: Three Men Deported to CECOT and Their Families Reflect on Their Monthslong Ordeal

For months, Carmen, Lina and Doris awaited news about their loved ones, who were sent to a maximum-security Salvadoran prison by the Trump administration. Now that the families have been reunited, they open up about the harm they experienced.

@ProPublica Just imagine: Migrants without criminal records are sent to an El Salvadoran maximum security torture prison by the US regime led by a convicted felon & rapist, who himself scores higher on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist than maximum security prisoners, and who has been a bro of sex trafficker, sexual abuser & rapist Jeffrey Epstein.
Ask, who definitely belongs into CECOT, and the name Donald T. inevitably comes to mind. To protect the public against a real dangerous physical threat.

#Trump says #FBI ‘may have to’ help bring #Texas#Democrats back to state

After Republican Sen John Cornyn of Texas called on the FBI to help locate & #arrest Democrats who left the state to block a vote on a new congressional map, Trump said, “They may have to.”

“A lot of people have demanded they come back. You can’t just sit it out. You have to go back, you have to fight it out,” said Trump.

#Legal experts & even #Republican state AG #KenPaxton say it would be difficult to enforce consequences against the Democratic lawmakers.

#Texas House rules allow for fines of $500 every day the #Democrats are absent. The #House also issued civil warrants for the missing lawmakers to be arrested & returned to the House.
