It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves.

100%. Costa Rica has agreed to take him and he has agreed to go. They keep lying to the judge and saying Costa Rica won’t take him because they want to send him somewhere he will be tortured.
Guys it’s not just that they want to remove Abrego Garcia from this country. They could probably remove him to Costa Rica.
They want to deport him to somewhere that will kill and/or torture him. That’s the issue.

It genuinely does feel like this administration thinks its entire legitimacy rests on the ability to torture and punish this one man.
A federal judge ruled Thu morning that no order of removal for Abrego Garcia had ever existed. By Thu evening, an immigration judge had conjured a “Immigration Court’s Sua Sponte Order Correcting Scrivener’s Error," Abrego Garcia's lawyers tell the judge in the emergency overnight filing:

Aaron Rupar is proof that some of the best journalists *are* stenographers. The simple act of recording and publishing the words that they themselves utter - especially when they are as risible as Noem's - is profoundly important.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?
NOEM: We haven't deported veterans
MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Judge Xinis notes that she identified the central problem with KAG's continued ICE detention way back at the first hearing in April: where's the removal order?
Today she rules there never was one.

At the beginning of the drone war in the early 2000s, people fretted that the fact it was on the screen, you weren’t looking at a human being through a rifle sight, would end up making troops completely desensitized to the fact that they were killing people.
Anyways, they watched them for 41 min.

Publishing all the other boat murder videos but refusing to release the one of the two survivors being killed is an admission they know exactly how bad it looks. There's no other distinction to draw there, no reason to publish the others while withholding that one.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

“you sit in your air conditioned offices” as if that’s not where he was watching the strikes from
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post
