Mis panas venezolan@s, en este momento el objetivo principal del enemigo es romper el tejido social del país para allanar el camino a la intervención militar, que ya tuvo sus primeras incursiones. Precisamente por eso, para quienes no formen parte activa de ningún plan de resistencia, lo más sensato y responsable es:
1. Mantener la calma. Si no vives cerca de un objetivo militar o estratégico, lo recomendable es permanecer en casa y evitar desplazamientos innecesarios.

for over 500 years, imperial forces have humiliated, kidnapped, and murdered our local leaders to crush resistance and enable the systematic looting of our lands. gold, silver, pearls, coffee, bananas; today, oil: the main fuel of the insatiable monster they created, capitalism
despite massacres, betrayals, and setbacks, we have resisted and we will continue to resist for another 500 years if necessary. for the forest, for biodiversity, for collective life, and for our right to joy
“The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted and with this enormous promise, the Libyan people now have a great responsibility to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to Gaddafi's dictatorship. (…) . You have won your revolution and now we will be a partner as you forge a future that provides dignity, freedom and opportunity."
—- Barrack Obama
I hear this is going great.

vainas que la gente no entiende: defender a mi país de la agresión extranjera no significa ser leal a un gobierno local, simplemente significa defender la posibilidad de construir la vida colectiva en nuestro propios términos y no en aquellos que nos quieren imponer
Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:
“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”
“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”
A month later, he was gone.

Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.ProPublica
There are still serious concerns about the prior two flights WITH *alleged* [w/o #DueProcess there’s no way to verify & family members & attorneys have said the allegations are false in many cases] #AlienEnemiesAct detainees onboard that continued despite the judge's order.

From the Sat night hearing:
#UnitedStates Govt attorney:
"Would this TRO apply to aliens that otherwise have final orders of removal, because from our perspective, that would be an independent basis to effectuate their removal?"
...
Judge #Boasberg: "That's fair. ... Yes, Mr. Ensign, I agree."
#law #Constitution #immigration #AlienEnemiesAct #14thAmendment #5thAmendment #DueProcess #Venezuela #CivilRights #ChecksAndBalances #JudicialBranch #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #AbuseOfPower #Trump
The #UnitedStates Govt Affidavit provides an explanation for the third flight leaving after #Boasberg’s orders:
"[A]ll individuals on that third plane had Title 8 final removal orders."
That means this flight complied with the order.

NEW. The #Trump admin files its notice w/ Judge #Boasberg, saying:
1. Everyone on the third plane had a final order of removal, so was not deported under the #AEA
2. The Proclamation was signed Friday but didn't go into effect until posted on the WH website
3. #ICE alleges there are 258 known #TdA members in the US

With that, the hearing is over. The govt will file more information tomorrow, & it may again refuse to provide specific the information #Boasberg requested (but must explain why). There is a further hearing on the #TRO on Fri, & action in the DC Circuit Court where briefing ends Wed.

#Boasberg with a sarcastic aside: "What I will hear from you by noon tomorrow — & I will memorialize in written form since apparently my oral orders don't carry much weight — is a written declaration" about the third flight & also the information he's previously ordered them to provide.

Lee then says they're going to argue that the government should be required to give anyone subject to the #AEA a hearing before finding that they're covered, & they'll be seeking that later.
#Boasberg orders #DOJ to say how many people are designated under AEA. DOJ says again they may refuse.

#Boasberg then asks how many people are subject to the proclamation & how many people are currently in #ICE custody.
#DOJ says they don't have it. #ACLU also says they don't have it, & points out that the proclamation is vague enough that it's hard for anyone to figure out who is subject.

#Boasberg: "The inquiry here is 'have they obeyed my order?'”
Boasberg notes #DOJ says they're representing no one on the third flight was subject to the #AEA, so Lee asks that they submit a sworn declaration.
Lee notes the govt is distinguishing between the AEA proclamation & a claimed inherent presidential authority, & asks for more on that.

#Boasberg is now questioning the government about the other 2 flights, which the government itself somewhat mentioned in its orders.
The government continues to refuse to disclose any information. Boasberg asks why it can't be said outside of the public, & the #DOJ attorney refuses to say why.

#Boasberg is now asking about a third flight identified by the #ACLU that they were asking about, which is I believe what the last bit was about. He gets the #DOJ to confirm no one on that plane was subject to the #AEA proclamation.

Judge #Boasberg responded to #DOJ’s Monday motion to vacate the 5PM hearing:
The Court ORDERS that Defendants' 24 Motion to Vacate is DENIED. The hearing will proceed as scheduled. So ORDERED by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg on 3/17/2025.
So, it should start in about 5 minutes.

In a brazen display of defiance, #Trump’s #DOJ filed papers less than two hours before the 5PM hearing, telling Judge James E. #Boasberg that there was no reason for anyone to come to court because the administration was not going to provide any further information about the #deportation flights.
