THIS IS THE FIND OUT PART.  SOME OF THESE DUDES ARE FROM THE US BECAUSE ICE AND THE WHITEHOUSE SUSPECTED A JUDGE WOULD GO ROGUE SO THEY SENT THE PLANES OFF EARLY:  Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable). The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.

CURRENT POLITICS IN A NUTSHELL:

ANTI-ASIAN RACISM, STRAIGHT UP: Why was a brilliant kid rejected by the University of California? “Despite a 4.2 high school grade-point average, near-perfect SATs, and the fact that he founded a software company while still a high school sophomore, Stanley Zhong was rejected by admissions officers at UC Berkeley, UCLA, Davis, San Diego and Santa Barbara – every University of California campus he applied to. Just 18 at the time, the Palo Alto, California, native shook off the disappointment and immediately earned a prestigious job as a Google programmer. A year later, he hasn’t given up on his dream: he’d still like to go back to school and eventually earn a doctorate in computer science. To level the path to admissions, he’s suing the University of California system because, he says, race factored into his UC rejections.”

PRESIDENTIAL NONACQUIESCENCE IS ITSELF A CHECK ON JUDICIAL OVERREACH, ALBEIT ONE THAT SHOULD BE USED RARELY:

When Ex Parte Quirin was before the Court, President Franklin Roosevelt warned them that he would not turn over the captured German saboteurs to some U.S. Marshal with a habeas order. The Court then declined to issue one.

I do think that if John Roberts is as concerned about the institutional future of the federal judiciary as he says he is, something needs to be done to rein in these rogue district judges.
