JUST IN: Judge Boasberg sets a Thursday hearing on his efforts to determine whether the Justice Department violated his orders restraining removals under the Alien Enemies Act.

immensely quotable story about the TIP TRUCK www.niemanlab.org/2025/03/prop...

Perhaps I missed it, but is no one shocked about what was shared on #Atlantic??

Farmer Fred is especially pissed about this. Do you want blight resistant crops? Do you eat? A small office of the USDA maintains the genetic biodiversity of crops from apples to wheat, protecting billions of dollars in agricultural production around the world. Doge is not smart or efficient. .

1/ Important legal 🧵 This is problematic & weaponizes sanctions against attorneys litigating against the federal government. I’ve had attorneys try to use sanctions as an intimidation tactic under the guise that my clients’ lawsuits are frivolous. I fought back and won each time. But it’s

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

I've cossed more international borders than most, been through checkpoints and searches and have trained human rights activists, journalists and others in staying safe in repressive regimes.
