After #SCOTUS’ ruling, the original 5 plaintiffs in the ACLU & Democracy Forward case against the #AlienEnemiesAct split up.

Now 2 class action #habeas suits have been filed, one in New York with 2 plaintiffs & one in Texas with the other three.

And here Karoline Leavitt, #Trump’s WhiteHouse propagandist, lies through her teeth about this when asked.

"These are heinous monsters, rapists, murderers, kidnappers, sexual assaulters, predators who have no right to be in this country," Leavitt said. She added that she could "assure the American people that Customs and Border Protection & ICE & the Department of Homeland Security are sure about the identities of the individuals who were on these planes & the threat that they posed to our homeland."

"All nine justices made it clear that the government’s original method of rushing people onto planes with no notice & no warning is not appropriate," said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick.

This afternoon, the #ACLU filed a new #ClassAction #habeas lawsuit in NY challenging the #AlienEnemiesAct *#deportations*.

They are seeking a #TRO similar to what Judge Boasberg ordered.

The parties are hereby ordered to appear for a hearing on Petitioners' motion for a temporary restraining order on April 9, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 14D of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse. In the meantime, & until ordered otherwise, to preserve the Court's jurisdiction, Petitioners shall neither be removed from the United States, nor transferred out of this District, unless & until the Court orders otherwise.

The #Trump admin invokes the #StateSecrets privilege, saying it will give Judge #Boasberg no more information about the #deportation flights to inform his decision about whether the govt defied his order.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.278436/gov.uscourts.dcd.278436.56.0.pdf

NOTICE INVOKING STATE SECRETS PRIVILEGE The Executive Branch hereby notifies the Court that no further information will be provided in response to the Court's March 18, 2025 Minute Order based on the state secrets privilege and the concurrently filed declarations of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security. This is a case about the President's plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate, and reinforced by longstanding statute, to remove from the homeland designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States. The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it. Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address. Accordingly, the states secrets privilege forecloses further demands for details that have no place in this matter, and the government will address the Court's order to show cause tomorrow by demonstrating that there is no basis for the suggestion of non-compliance with any binding order.

The national security implications also support immediate review. The Court's orders, global in scope, makes further removals of TdA members impossible during this critical period. Even when a person does not pose a threat, removal delayed tends to become removal denied. Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 696 (2001). That is true a fortiori when dealing with some of the most dangerous criminals on Earth. Plaintiffs agree immediate appeal is available from an order removing an alien "to a country where he alleged" he will face harm (Opp. at 7, citing Belbacha, 520 F.3d at 458)—but insists the government cannot immediately appeal an order that may make it impossible to transfer out of our country highly dangerous individuals who are dedicated to causing harm to the American people. That cannot be right.
