  • It’s usually the case that federal judges did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

    In this case the actual order says to turn over all copies. It also says to deposit one copy at the federal court, which the feds can access if they apply for and obtain a lawful search warrant.

    If the feds are found to be holding onto copies later, they can get in a bunch of trouble. More importantly, they can no longer publish these emails as exhibits in a hypothetical future prosecution, like they did with Comey. Because as soon as they do, it’s all “hey where did you get those from?”


  • The crazy thing is we now have algorithms that can do the CSI “enhance!” thing. But it’s still just making shit up that seems plausible.

    Once the information is no longer in the image, it’s not there. No amount of fuckery will bring back the real information.




  • Kavanaugh, J., concurring:

    Moreover, as for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U. S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.




    1. The court found that there is no lawful basis to deport Abrego in the first place, because the government was unable to produce a copy of the 2019 deportation order in court.

    2. The court found that government lawyers deliberately “misled the tribunal” regarding their efforts to deport Abrego to Africa. The court “will take this into account” while considering pending motions for sanctions.

    3. In alternative to #1, the court found that the government was not really detaining Abrego to deport him, because they could have sent him to Costa Rica at any time in the past few months. But they did not.

    4. Therefore, there is no lawful reason to subject Abrego to immigration detention, and the writ of habeas corpus is granted.

    5. Abrego is still on bail in the TN criminal case.


  • The absolute safest bet is to perform a wipe.

    This may be effective at preventing the government from accessing the data. But as we see, the law, including the 5th amendment, doesn’t protect from legal exposure to obstruction-type charges. Or lying to the cops type charges if you say you’ll unlock the phone, but then you actually wipe the phone.


  • If he’s a US citizen, he’s better off refusing to enter any PIN. That’s protected by the 5th amendment.

    If not a citizen and this was in a port of entry context, then he would still have the 5th amendment protection. But customs can simply choose to refuse entry on discretion. So that’s a potentially serious consequence.

    In many jurisdictions, deer season is like 1 or 2 weekends per year, and the limit is 1. It’s not a lot of time to actually find and shoot a deer. So this guy is probably setting this up several weeks in advance to get some level of assurance that some deer will show up to his spot at the appointed time.

    I’m not sure what attracts down votes to your comment. People should read up on the know nothing party. This shit has happened before.

    America has always been a contradiction. It is Ralph Waldo Emerson and Robert E. Lee. It is both ICE and this nativity.
