I very much hope US legislators have been talking to military commanders since the election result last year. I have seen no evidence at all of this. It seems like the obvious thing to do when the constitution is under such threat. The US officer's oath doesn't contain anything about obeying the president, that I know of.

I hope the absence of evidence is because of the conversations being clandestine, not evidence of absence.

“We need more money,” #TomHoman, Trump’s “border czar,” told Miroff in an interview. “We won’t fail if we get the resources we need.”

“Defendants hereby appeal from the Court’s Order and Memorandum Opinion entered April 16, 2025 (ECF Nos. 80 & 81) in the above-captioned case to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.”

Good luck (/s) muther f⁕⚠︎ers.

“This is such a strawman. You represent the executive branch. If you don't think you have enough resources to put people through immigration court, ASK CONGRESS for funding!

That's your role under the Constitution! Not to say "Oh, due process is hard, let's ignore it."
