"Government silence is a statement, not a VETO," Alfonsi wrote. "Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story." 

She continued, "If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a 'kill switch' for any reporting they find convenient."…

After lawyers for the men rushed to court overnight to stop the deportations, Boasberg attempted to halt the operation, citing grave concerns about the lack of due process. But the administration refused to turn around planes that had already left U.S. airspace and ultimately handed over the Venezuelan men, despite protests that they had been misidentified…

Kristi Noem made call to hand over deported men to El Salvador, DOJ says - POLITICO

DOJ officials say Noem's decision was informed by legal advice from the top levels of the Justice Department, including Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and then-Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, and the Department of Homeland Security. That advice relied on an unusual claim that Boasberg's oral order to turn around the deportation flights had no force. And his subsequent written order, they argued, was similarly ineffective because the flights had already left U.S. airspace...

Robert Garcia demands answers on deal to send MS-13 bosses to El Salvador - The Washington Post

"If true, this surreptitious deal struck by the Trump administration has profound implications for the integrity of the United States justice system and national security," Garcia wrote. "The Committee demands to understand whether U.S. officials facilitated the repatriation of MS-13 leaders to prevent them from cooperating with American prosecutors."

The gang leaders were charged in a pair of cases playing out in federal court on Long Island that U.S. officials have described as "the highest-reaching and most sweeping indictments targeting MS-13 and its command and control structure in U.S. history."

The indictments alleged that many of the accused had been directly involved in negotiating a truce with unnamed members of Bukele's government to tamp down public gang killings in El Salvador to help the president's party win a supermajority in 2021 legislative elections.

In exchange, according to one of the indictments, Salvadoran officials offered the gang leaders cash and other perks, including improved prison conditions, control of territory and a commitment that El Salvador would deny U.S. requests to extradite them.

"In effect," Garcia wrote in his letter, "the Salvadoran government traded criminal impunity for political gain."…

House of Cards (Andrew McCabe and Allison Gill; Unjustified podcast)

President Trump may be shielding El Salvadoran President Bukele from an investigation into allegations that Bukele used US aid to support MS13, and traded away MS13 leaders as part of the agreement to house migrants at CECOT.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia had his detention hearing in the middle district of Tennessee on the human smuggling charges brought by the Department of Justice, and the testimony generated more questions than answers about the veracity of the charges against him.

A Trump appointed judge in the Western District of Pennsylvania upholds the 21 day notice requirement for removal under the Alien Enemies Act Proclamation.

Donald Trump– the criminal defendant who got Alieen Cannon to toss out the charges against him on the grounds that the special counsel prosecuting him was illegal, has called for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election.
