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.

He visto a gente con la estúpida discusión de si la arepa es colombiana o venezolana. La arepa es indígena y no le debe su origen a ninguna comunidad nacional moderna. La palabra viene del idioma Cumanagoto: erepa, que significa maíz.
El Estado venezolano, siguiendo la herencia del Estado español, casi desaparece a lxs Cumanagoto a través del expolio de sus tierras y la asimilación cultural. Así que la vaina es super irónica, solo digo… #venezuela

Venezuelan bond prices soar after US lifts trading ban
> Venezuelan government bond prices soared on Thursday after the US government eased sanctions that had barred American investors from trading them, handing immediate large gains to some hedge funds.
The price of #Venezuela’s sovereign dollar bond maturing in 2027 jumped more than 70 per cent to 19 cents on the dollar, according to Bloomberg data.
