I can NOT overstate how important this case, and the similar, parallel ones are.

This is a trial balloon by the nazi fash regime, trying to bulldoze civil liberties and rights.

If they disobey the Court, it's revolution, in one way or another, with varying degrees of blood. If they get away with it, it's the end of civil society.

Yesterday, J.G.G. v tRump on "state secrets" authority for warrantless rendition of US persons.

J.G.G. v. TRUMP (1:25-cv-00766)
District Court, District of Columbia

courtlistener.com/docket/69741

Amicus Brief (01Apr) presented, shattering tRumpkin ICE/CBP argument of "state secret" to their social media blared message and implementation of WARRANTLESS RENDITION OF US PERSONS.

Court Order forthcoming, not looking good for tRumpo's gestapo.

A man who was detained by #ICE earlier this month is expected to be released on Fri after comm advocates & officials appealed for his release so he can resume the kidney donation process in hopes of saving his brother's life.

His ATTY: "The logistics of his release aren't yet confirmed with ICE, but potentially as early as Fri he could be released.

The duration & the conditions of Gonzalez's expected release are unclear.

Public pressure is effective.

"This week, SEIU launched a major six-figure ad campaign to demand the release of a Turkish national, Tufts University Ph.D. student Rumeysa Ozturk, a member of SEIU 509, who had been involved in Palestinian protests

"Such a large ad buy by a union to protest the detention by #ICE of one union member is unprecedented. Not only did #SEIU buy the ads, but they organized 18 protests nationwide demanding her release."

"As immigrants are illegally deported and detained, more and more unions are stepping up to protest these detentions."

@bascule #Protester's lifeline according Jennifer Shin: "If you're protesting on #Saturday please wear a cap and mask to protect your identity from the #cult.
Also, it was suggested to me that you should write the phone number of the #ACLU #FirstDefenseLegalAid on your arm. That number is 1-800-529-7374 in case anything happens."

+ Also you could/should additionally write a number of a loved one at home or a lawyer you trust on your arm (waterproof ink).

"In the eyes of this administration, immigrants who are undocumented are all “illegal immigrants” and these “illegal immigrants”, ergo, are all “criminals”.

But, on so many levels, it’s just not true. It’s a popular myth pushed by the right that needs urgent debunking."

And for most of us, our understanding of the term "alien" point to the ones who support #DonaldTrump 's #GOPMAGA fascist campaign. They are alien to us.

"Tufts University has thrown its weight behind the legal case for Rumeysa Ozturk, demanding her immediate release so she can finish her studies, making Tufts the first university to have done so in the wake of students being detained and arrested... over pro-#Palestine activism."

“The [ICE] statement cast the raid as part of investigations into “worksite violations and/or the exploitation of workers.”

“Worksite enforcement investigations focus on reducing illegal employment, holding employers accountable and protecting employment opportunities for the country’s lawful workforce,” the statement said.”
Just what White House attack on labor will do.
