Recent #Fed #Court ruling affects right of #HabeasCorpus claims and means #Minnesota's immigrants ensnared in #BorderPatrol detentions and sent enmasse to #Texas deportation centers have little chance of returning north.

#ICE claims to have detained 4,000 people in Minnesota since Operation Metro Surge began in December, and likely few will make it back from El Paso to face typical trials.

In further escalations against #Venezuela, King #DJT decreed that the airspace above the northern most country on the continent South America is closed... The threat against any air travel in the nation is immediate deadly attack by the US military which he controls with his Nazi tattooed tool Herr Hegseth.

As President of a country thousands of miles away, #Drumpf has no legitimate claim to authority over Venezuela's airspace under #InternationalLaw, but this did not deter his threats. The simple minded #socialmedia threat made from his personal platform, with no specific details would still likely deter many #airlines from flying into or out of Venezuela and cause havoc with holiday air traffic, widely disrupting certain international commerce routes.
