Correct. US citizens have an absolute right to enter the country. So if they want to detain for more than several hours, they have to come up with criminal charges.
Permanent residents theoretically enjoy some constitutional rights at the border, but you all have seen what the current situation is
Non-citizen non-LPRs can simply be refused admission and summarily deported on much flimsier grounds than any of this stuff we're talking about.
Abrego Garcia allegedly has two pieces of paper from immigration court. Paper #1 (allegedly) is a final removal order, and it says he can be deported. Paper #2 is a withholding of removal order, and it says he can't be deported to El Salvador.
Why do I keep saying "allegedly"? Because in the current court case, the government was unable to produce paper #1 in court. So Judge Xinis made her decision on the basis that there was no legal authority to remove Abrego Garcia to anywhere. However, the record seems to indicate that paper #1 really does exist, even if the chucklefucks can't find it.
Why am I saying this here? Given the amount of utter stupidity with which this operation has been carried out, I think it may be reasonable that there may have been a legit mix-up between the two papers somewhere along the line. I have no evidence one way or the other.
In the 1830s they were doing that shit in the southeast: Georgia, Carolinas, Alabama, and so on. They didn't really get going clearing the "west" until after the war and into the twentieth century. Geronimo surrendered for the last time in the 1880s, and he died in 1909 as a POW at Ft. Sill. Oklahoma had gained statehood only two years before, in 1907.
Insider trading is where the one doing the trade has insider information. This "tweet" ("Truth"?) cannot be insider information by definition.
Could Trump administration figures do insider trading on the basis of more explicit insider information? Absolutely. Does this message prove any of that? No.
So anything that NASA produces alone with public money is for the public by default ?
Anything that NASA civil servants produce and publish is in the public domain by default. NASA can spend public money on contracts that don't result in public domain information.
In this case, if NASA spends public money to buy (license) a commercially available compiler from PGI, that compiler doesn't magically become open source just because NASA is a paying customer.
Works, reports, and software that NASA produces itself are "works of the United States", so they are in the public domain by law.
However, not everything NASA does is a published work, such as the classified GPS encryption modules on the shuttle or private medical conferences with ISS crewmembers. Additionally, a lot of stuff is actually done by contractors, such as SpaceX or Boeing, and those may or may not be required by contract to release various amounts of data to the public.
I did a quick Google search, and I was unable to find anything contemporary where NASA is maintaining or developing an in house Fortran compiler.
If they managed to get Bukele to make such a statement, and they got it into the district court record, I would guess that Xinis would back off and not press contempt.
If I had to predict the supreme court on this pending appeal, I'm going with 7-2 to deny the stay, with Thomas and Alito dissenting.
This case is moving so fast because the DOJ career lawyer basically conceded the government's entire case at the hearing last week. The normal rule is that you can't introduce evidence and arguments on appeal if you didn't raise them at the district court. The government is now furiously trying to bypass that in these appeals.
So I think some of the conservative justices will be upset with that, and they will also not want to concede power from the courts to the executive branch. They want that power for themselves.
This shit is going down today. There are three possibilities:
Supreme Court grants a stay, ignoring the rule of law, and hastening the slide to authoritarianism.
No stay, and the government hustles to get this man back to the US by midnight tonight. I'd guess it's like 6-8 hours of flying just to get to El Salvador and back, so the clock is really ticking on this option.
No stay, and the deadline expires. The government will clearly be in continuous and ongoing contempt of court.
If they don't get a stay and they make some kind of half hearted "bad man Bukele won't cooperate" argument, I don't think Xinis will buy that, and they'll be back to #3.
As far as I know, the MAX software fully complied with its software requirements. The problem was crappy system requirements, and Boeing actively lied to their pilots to conceal that they added a brand new automatic flight control system that can push the elevators down independent of the autopilot and stick pusher.
I am well aware that Apollo 10 did not deliver shitbags to the moon.
But 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 did, if they defecated at all on the moon, leave it behind per checklist. There are 96 inventoried bags on the moon, but it is not recorded which, if any, are filled with what. It would have been easier to avoid on the earlier missions, which spent less time on the surface.
At least one astronaut claims he avoided a bowel movement for the entire mission duration.
Which they failed to do yesterday.
