THREADETTE: Something just dawned on me. You don't see any left-leaning anonymous (or named!) Twitter folks doing investigation of primary source documents, while several on the right do that & expose much otherwise missed. Left can rely on Fake News narratives pushed by MSM. 1/
2/ Knowing the legacy media won't research, you see lawyers putting out the source documents, such as @JohnWHuber@Techno_Fog and @15poundstogo and former intel folks such as @JennaNeen@MikayesFiona doing same. They spend hundreds of hours doing the work of Pulitzers.
3/ And @nick_weil team who puts together all of that work. These folks may well have saved @realDonaldTrump from the lies being peddled because they are in essence the best research team alternative media could ask for. I try to give credit where do, so here's a global 👏👏👏
4/4 And FTR: While I do know the actual identities and credentials of some of the above, my motto from day one on Twitter has been "distrust and verify." So I've always pulled the original source material, researched myself, and rendered my own conclusions. END

🔥Yesterday a federal court denied an injunction to delay DHS's requirement that aliens (including) illegals register, holding plaintiffs lack standing. I'm surprise there are no other cases challenging these regs even though STATUTE requires registration. 1/
2/ Here's entire decision which is worth a read to understand how the administrative state runs the government often in violation of Congress's commands. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ More broadly, the order summarizes the registration process and illustrations how Trump Administration is fighting illegal immigration: If they don't register, they commit a crime; if they commit a crime an investigation can be launched to obtain info from IRS to locate.
THREAD: As I stressed yesterday, SCOTUS made a BIGGER mess out of case involving removing of Garcia to El Salvador. SCOTUS's order was cautiously framed in suggestive terms designed to be equally respectful to co-equal branches of our government. It has ALREADY backfired. 1/
2/ It was entirely predictable that it would backfire because there is no mutual respect between Article II and Article III. Even last night, district court Judge Xinis fired first shot by entering a blatantly inaccurate order that mirrored media's talking points.
3/ Here is what she wrote. SCOTUS point blank did NOT affirm her order. To the contrary, the Court wrote that it granted in part and denied in part the application "subject to the direction of this order."
*1 I updated this post b/c as my third or fourth post explained, SCOTUS was actually confusing re "return to U.S." portion of the order. Here's confusing language. Facilitating release from custody in El Salvador is appropriate & "handling as it would have" is appropriate
2/ Problem is SCOTUS said the ORDER properly. . . but the ORDER didn't require U.S. to handle as it would have...it required return to U.S. and had he not be removed to El Salvador, he would have been removed elsewhere.
3/3 SCOTUS has unfortunately made a bigger mess of things. Sorry for my quick misread.
2/ Rather, SCOTUS indicates order should be limited to requiring government to "facilitate" Garcia's "release from custody in El Salvador." Garcia was wrongly removed to El Salvador and Trump should do that BUT remove him to another country.
3/ SCOTUS, however, failed by saying order "properly" the Government "to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador." The order did not such thing & in fact suggested Garcia had been improperly arrested.
4/ SCOTUS should have said that the Court could order the Government to handle the case as it would have had Garcia not been improperly sent to El Salvador....which would mean removing him to another country. District court will likely be up to more mischief.
🚨🚨🚨Listening to D.C. Circuit oral argument in NTEU v. Vought re stay. 1/
2/ Judges Pillard, Katsas, and Rao:
Judge Katsas says how do we great stay? Is it a scope question?
Yes:
DOJ: Not shutting down an agency is the appropriate injunction. Clause 4: Bars closing down injunction or email. Deals with the Consumer Financial Protection Board operations.
3/ Argument is focusing on whether "scope" was injunction.
DOJ: Court tried to shift burden to us. No problem with allowing employees to do statutory work. But injunction goes to far. Key parts are 2, 3, 4, and 7.
Other parts it's inappropriate to have judicial supervision where no violation.
🚨🚨Two of the aliens who sued Trump Administration before to challenge their removal under the Alien Enemies Act were apparently brought back to New York for detention & thus filed a habeas case there. Strangely docketing is in an older case w/ habeas petition sealed. 1/
2/ ACLU has its petition here. The complaint is a "putative class action" lawsuit, in other words putative = "a wanna be" class action suit.aclu.org/cases/g-f-f-v-…
3/ Given each case will involve multiple issues that are unique to each Plaintiff, a court will have a hard time justifying certification but Plaintiffs' goal is to get everyone's name and this might work.
