Summary

The Trump administration defied a judge’s order to stop migrant expulsions to El Salvador, then told the judge to be more “respectful.”

Judge James Boasberg demanded details on the flights, suspecting the government ignored his orders. The administration refused, claiming judicial overreach and possible state secrets.

Migrants, allegedly gang members, were sent to a brutal Salvadoran prison under an old wartime law. Trump officials mocked the judge, and Chief Justice Roberts issued a rare rebuke.

The administration has appealed, with another hearing set for Friday.

    I was once told by someone deeeeeeep in underground culture that “sometimes respect doesn’t just mean respecting what I do, it means doing what I say.” Or something along those lines.

    The similarities of that culture and the American government im witnessing is identical.

    I’ve also heard that “some people are disposable”. Americans are so naive they don’t understand we are basically their product. We can be thrown out to die like damaged goods, things that didn’t meet QC, or just written off as waste. This is a real warning to naive people.

    I spent years in a phase of surrealism before I finally had to take a hard look and realize people are evil and they are all around us, from the bottom of the street to the president.
