Supreme Court requires noncitizens to challenge detention and removal in Texas - SCOTUSblog
www.scotusblog.com
The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a pair of orders by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that had barred the government from removing noncitizens who are designated as members of a Venezuelan gang under a March 15 executive order issued by President Donald Trump. By a vote of 5-4, the justices

In an unsigned opinion on Monday evening, five of the court’s conservative justices – Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh – indicated that they would “not reach” the plaintiffs’ arguments regarding the application of the AEA to them. Instead, the majority explained, because the relief that they are seeking “necessarily” suggests that their confinement in immigration custody and removal under the AEA is invalid, they must bring their claims as habeas corpus claims – that is, a challenge to the legality of their detention.

The only place that such claims can be brought, the majority continued, is the judicial district where a prisoner is being detained. Because the plaintiffs in this case are now in Texas, rather than in Washington, D.C., the majority concluded, their case cannot be brought in Washington.

        They have a shit ton of money and power and no, the American people aren’t allowing it. There is no recourse. I don’t think those are the answers.

          I believe the American people have a solution to that problem built in their constitution. Or so I’ve read again and again over the years.

            In theory, but what actual steps can be taken.

              Well, Luigi seems to have figured it out and he’s a pretty young lad. I’m sure there are tutorials around.

                Dude, come on. No average American, myself included, is going to Luigi anyone in government. Starving the rich that feeds the government is the only option we can do. We have to boycott all of the billionaires products and support the other countries that do the same.

      Because their reputation can’t any worse and they won’t be removed.

      … do people still think conservatives believe in something, besides what they’re all doing?

        I think Clarence Thomas would be much more random than he is then. In fact, all of the conservative justices would be. I don’t think that’s entirely it.
