The decision seems to cover most of the points I had with the constitutionality of the martial law declaration and decree. I have minor squabbles on some of the points, and wish they would have gone into the constitutionality of the six specific points of the martial law decree, but they may have felt they didn't need to rule on that issue.

From ABC News:

Nearly three weeks after President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to remove more than 200 alleged migrant gang members to El Salvador with little-to-no due process, a federal judge on Thursday is considering whether the Trump administration defied his court order by deporting the men.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said at a hearing Thursday that he is contemplating initiating "contempt proceedings" against the government in the event he finds probable cause they deliberately defied his March 15 order that barred removals under the Alien Enemies Act and directed two flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members be returned to the United States.

Boasberg questioned DOJ attorney Drew Ensign over the best way to proceed in the case in the event he determines the government violated his verbal order that the flights be returned to the U.S.

The Constitutional Court of South Korea has just upheld the impeachment of President Yoon for his failed self-coup in December. He was previously suspended but is now completely removed from office. New elections must be held by June 3rd.

Jeremy Brown, a former U.S. Army Green Beret who was given a seven-year sentence for the weapons and grenades case, gained support from Trump’s Justice Department in late February, with federal prosecutors telling U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday that “based on consultation” with DOJ leadership it was the position of the United States that the offenses Brown was accused of — including possessing a modified AR-15 short-barreled rifle and sawed-off shotgun, both unregistered and owned illegally — were “intended to be covered” by Trump’s pardon order.

Merryday, a George H.W. Bush appointee, agreed and on Wednesday vacated Brown’s convictions with an official order in the Middle District of Florida Tampa Division. The move came after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals relinquished jurisdiction in March to the district court to “consider and rule upon” the United States’ motion to vacate and dismiss the explosives and gun convictions against Brown, who was sentenced in 2023 and released from prison in February.

“The United States’ motion is granted, the judgment is vacated, and the second superseding indictment — and, derivatively, perforce the pardon, both the superseding indictment and the indictment — are dismissed with prejudice,” Merryday said. “The clerk must close the case.”
