#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a931_2c83.pdf

@normative.bsky.social One of the comments to this pointed out that CECOT is a "work/death camp" with the expectation that nobody sent there will ever walk free again.

Expect this to be hugely expanded if Trump does even a partial martial law declaration on the 20th (in 12 days) or shortly therafter.
