Another flagrant example of Trump apparatchiks ignoring a federal court's explicit order and doing what the judge told them not to do.

At what point will judges start, you know, doing something about this repeated lawbreaking?

College freshman deported flying home for Thanksgiving surprise

A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was deported to Honduras in violation of a court order. That's according to an attorney for Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old at Babson College. She was detained by immigration officials at Boston Logan International Airport on November 20. A federal judge issued an emergency order the day after her arrest prohibiting the government from removing her from Massachusetts for 72 hours. However, within two days, she was sent to Texas and then Honduras. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says an immigration judge ordered Lopez Belloza deported in 2015. But her attorney says she wasn’t aware of any removal order.

“Jeff Sharlet, a leading scholar of Christian nationalism and author of The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War, has described Pete Hegseth as a clear, self-identified Christian nationalist whose ideology is explicitly militarized and apocalyptic, not just culturally conservative. Sharlet emphasizes that Hegseth’s own writings and symbols reveal a project of holy war within the United States, not merely a defense of traditional values.” - Constitutional Crisis Alert

From Vietnam to the Balkans, Donald Trump’s family has launched a global dealmaking blitz since his re-election

I'm hard on the NY Times for its many failings in political coverage, but this piece -- about a South African immigrant to the US who is central to the manifestly sleazy, and lucrative, Silicon Valley / Trump world dealings -- is simply excellent.
