Ontario's cash bail law is unconstitutional – and Ford knows it. BUT "they deliberately undermine confidence in #courts, plow under the Charter and #civilliberties, and use real human suffering to manufacture a political grievance." https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/ontarios-cash-bail-law-is-unconstitutional-and-ford-knows-it/394586

Nigerian Lawyers in Political Careers: A Historical, Structural, and Contemporary Analysis
The intersection of law and politics in Nigeria is profound and longstanding. Lawyers have disproportionately shaped the country’s political landscape, from pre-independence nationalism to post-1999 democratic governance. Legal training emphasizing advocacy, constitutional interpretation, negotiation, evidence-based reasoning, and oratory equips practitioners exceptionally well for political roles. This pattern reflects both the profession’s prestige and Nigeria’s constitutional emphasis on legal expertise in governance. -
Uncounted in Life, Unrecorded in Death: Nigeria’s Costly Dignity Deficit By Lawson Akhigbe
here is an old, bitter administrative joke in Nigeria that you are only formally counted twice: never when you arrive, and certainly not when you leave. In between, your existence is largely an unverified rumor negotiated between your creator, your luck, and whatever age declaration affidavit you paid a court clerk two thousand Naira to stamp. -

#SCOTUS Expands Trump’s #ExecutivePower Over #Immigration
The court handed #Trump victories in his push to rescind #deportation & for hundreds of thousands of people & turn away #immigrants at the southern border.

Suspending #HabeasCorpus was one of two radical ideas #StephenMiller had been pushing that alarmed Mr. Scharf. The other was invoking the #InsurrectionAct to deploy the #military to enforce the #law on #US streets as #protests grew against #deportation sweeps.
Scharf wrote confidential memos to Wiles on both topics….
[article is long, but I recommend reading it]

The man who outlined his concerns in the memo, Mr. Scharf, was no resistance figure. A trim, balding, Harvard-trained lawyer who had run for office in Missouri, he had bemoaned John McCain as too moderate for the 2008 Republican nomination, & believed #Trump had been vindictively prosecuted after his 2020 election loss.

Scharf’s memo, in its unassuming way, was a blinking red warning light. The 2nd #Trump White House was deliberating an explosive new claim of #PresidentialPower: the suspension of habeas rights for unauthorized #immigrants.
The suspension of #HabeasCorpus has occurred just a handful of times in US history, & always under the most dire circumstances of #war or #invasion.

Dated April 29, 2025, & stamped “confidential,” the memo was careful & lawyerly but amounted to a warning against end-running the rule of #law. The subject line read: “THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.”
#HabeasCorpus — the centuries-old right to force the government to justify, before a judge, why it has locked a person up — is enshrined in Article I of the #Constitution.

Last spring, Will Scharf, an arch-#conservative lawyer serving as the White House staff secretary, wrote a secret memo to the chief of staff that reflected growing unease in the West Wing about one of the extreme measures being weighed by #StephenMiller, the powerful adviser driving Trump’s #deportation campaign.

Frustrated by #Courts, #Trump Weighed Suspending a #ConstitutionalRight
Secret memos show that the White House debated last year, to a greater degree than previously known, whether to limit #HabeasCorpus rights for undocumented #immigrants.

Ninth Circuit Judge Ryan Nelson Faces Misconduct Review Following Idaho Battery Charge
📰 Original title: Trump-appointed judge under investigation after being charged with battery in Idaho

Sources familiar expect that any charges would eventually have to be filed in Washington, DC given that's where Brennan's congressional testimony took place.
Rep #GymJordan of Ohio, the #Republican chair of the #House #Judiciary Cmte, referred #Brennan to #DOJ in October, alleging he lied during a 2023 congressional testimony, in part by saying the #CIA was "not involved at all" with the #SteeleDossier. [Not a lie. The CIA wasn’t involved in its creation. It was given to them.]

The Darkest Files, a serious game about bringing Nazis to justice.
"A game about responsibility, justice and the struggle to come to terms with the past."
"The Second World War is over, but the perpetrators continue to live undisturbed. Under the leadership of Hesse’s Attorney General Fritz Bauer, you set out to solve forgotten crimes: you inspect files, interview witnesses, reconstruct the course of events and bring charges. Yet the judiciary and administration are still filled with former Nazis who will do anything to sabotage the investigations."
"The game is based on real, historically documented cases. The letters, files and statements are fictional, but based on actual events and people." >>

The Quasi-Official State of Apartheid in Today's India
With respect to minorities, we risk the perpetuation of apartheid-like conditions under the cover of a legal system that, on paper, guarantees equality.

US Dist Judge Georgia Alexakis heard testimony 2 eks ago about what happened after the Oct 4 incident in Brighton Park, which led to a standoff between protesters and federal agents who deployed #PepperSpray balls & #TearGas into the crowd.
Solicitor General John Sauer has also pointed to it while arguing #SCOTUS should let #Trump deploy #NationalGuard troops to #Chicago [these Trump attys🙄].

While #PamBondi has yet to actually specify what “improper public comments” #Boasberg made to elicit such an attack, both her chief of staff & the right-wing #FederalistSociety have reported that this huge, inappropriate mistake Boasberg made was simply expressing his (valid!) concern that the #Trump admin was liable to “disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a #ConstitutionalCrisis,” while at a judicial conference.

Other new #immigration “fees”:
- $250 bond for ALL nonimmigrant #visa applicants
- $550 for “parole” work permits
- $1,500 fee for applying to adjust status to get a #GreenCard before a judge.
The bill would also dramatically increase immigration #enforcement #funding.
$45B for #ICE #detention, assuming $4.5B/year, that would be nearly a 250% annual increase to the current $3.4 detention budget.

The prohibitive fees continue:
2 "fees" are actually penalties:
- $5,000 "fee" for being ordered deported for missing a court hearing.
- $5,000 "fee" for being an inadmissible *alien* apprehended between ports of entry.
This new fee is grotesque:
- $500 for any Special Immigrant Juvenile [#SIJ] Status application — these are abused, abandoned or neglected kids, ya think they have $500?

More prohibitive #immigration“fees” — these are just for trying to defend your status in #court:
- $100 fee for ANY continuance (except in "exceptional” circumstances)
- $1,050 fee for ANY waiver application
- $900 fee for all appeals except bond (currently $100)
- $1,500 fee for non-Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) cancellation (currently $100)

Crazy
At the end of the #House #Judiciary reconciliation bill, there are 2 major restrictions on the judiciary & #litigation:
First, as noted above, it bans judges from enforcing #contempt unless there was an FRCP 65(c) bond (rare in #CivilRights suits). Obviously aimed to stop Judges like #Boasberg & #Xinis, among others.
Second, they would bar money damages in settlements. [see pic]

It also declares—not coincidentally as #Trump is facing dozens of #TROs & injunctions:
"No #court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a #contempt citation for failure to comply with an #injunction or #TemporaryRestrainingOrder”

That’s in some tension with the result: that they were sent to a prison that is neither in the #US nor their country of origin with NO CHARGES & no clear #legal #authority justifying their continued, indefinite detention. The US govt is paying #ElSalvador to hold them.

That, at least, is what federal ofcls contend: while the #Trump admin invoked the #AlienEnemiesAct to dubiously justify sending 137 detainees to #ElSalvador, >100 others that day had received standard, *lawful* #deportation orders—often to Venezuela—from #immigration courts.

The #Trump admin sent more *alleged* gang members to #ElSalvador despite a Massachusetts court order barring #deportations to 3rd-party countries.
They say the order only applied to the #DHS & so they had #DoD carry out the deportations.
Dishonest as hell.
