In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has thrown out the order of District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked removal of Venezuelans to El Salvador without legal process under the Alien Enemies Act. The government had previously indicated that deportations would immediately resume if Boasberg's order was lifted. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent: "We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it,” adding: "At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong,” citing the notorious ruling that allowed government confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Booker is still speaking against the Trump administration's "grave and urgent" threat to the country. He has shared letters from constituents and read news articles, discussing a wide range of subjects and in his opening remarks, referencing his hero, the late Rep. John Lewis. "I start tonight thinking about him; I've been thinking about him a lot during these last 71 days. 'Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, help redeem the soul of America,'" Booker said, invoking Lewis' words. "And had to ask myself, if he's my hero, how am I living up to his words?"

More than 60 years ago, New York Times C. v. Sullivan established that, to succeed in defamation cases, public figures must prove that a published statement is false and that publishers acted with "actual malice." "Murder the Truth," a new book by New York Times journalist and editor David Enrich, discusses the movement to overturn Sullivan, accelerated by Trump, his allies and people who are influenced by them. Nieman Lab spoke to Enrich about his investigation, the journalists he spoke to, and more. "The push to overturn Roe was obviously one of the most coordinated assaults on established Supreme Court precedent, probably in history," Enrich says. "This is definitely not like that — but it’s not an accident that these people were getting up and being given platforms on places like Fox News to make these arguments over and over again."
