The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
![Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreieocoa2jelvyioyspfyjhchhj6lqvjgxf6vm73l4mamvtls72tzmq)

Huh. Seems bad
The cost of hiring a very large crude carrier from the Gulf to Asia has risen to $1.1mm a day, up from ~$100,000 at the start of the year. Costs on other routes not directly impacted by the US-Iran war, such as the Gulf of Mexico to Asia, have also surged 400–500% y/y.

As a reminder, it would bring TikTok, CNN, and CBS under one roof, force prices up (like for streaming!), bring wages down, and lead to people losing jobs.

Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process.
It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

Putting a drone launching site directly in the landing path for DCA is a stupid, dangerous, and unworkable idea.
Trump clearly expects to lose a lawsuit and therefore wants to set up a pretext to argue that the arch is tied to national security. Which is obviously idiotic.
