July 4 (Reuters) - Eight migrants lost their last-ditch effort to halt their deportation to South Sudan by the Trump administration on Friday, clearing the way for their imminent transfer after a judge in Massachusetts denied their request.

Lawyers for the U.S. Justice Department said the men were scheduled to be flown to South Sudan on Friday at 7:00 pm Eastern Time after two courts considered the request on an emergency basis on July 4, when courts are otherwise closed for the Independence Day holiday.

Lawyers for the migrants had filed new claims in Washington late Thursday after the U.S. Supreme Court clarified that a judge in Massachusetts could no longer require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to hold them. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington paused the deportation briefly on Friday afternoon, but sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston.

Murphy said the Supreme Court order required him to deny their bid, saying their claims that deportation was being used as a form of punishment were “substantially similar” to the ones he had ruled on previously.

A lawless act of defiance.

“After the Supreme Court lifted Murphy’s April injunction on June 23, the judge promptly ruled that his May 21 order “remains in full force and effect.” Calling that ruling by the judge a “lawless act of defiance,” the Justice Department the next day urged the Supreme Court to clarify that its action applied to Murphy’s May 21 decision as well. “

Even Kagan got to the obvious.

"Justice Elena Kagan, who dissented previously, this time issued a concurring opinion. “I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this court has stayed,” she wrote."

Kill all the invaders!

We now return to regular scheduled programming.

Donated $100 to John Cornyn today.

But he is the underdog to Paxton.

Paxton is sleazy. Took bribes from Nate Paul. Paul paid to renovate Paxton’s house in Austin. Paul hired a woman Paxton was having an affair with.

Its ridiculous he is leading Cornyn in the polls for the R primary.

Allred announced he will run again for the Ds.

Paxton vs Allred. Probably vote Lib again.

Its a crazy world.

Huey Long would be proud of the sleaze.

6 bunker busters through the same hole.

“Insane precision.
According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the first MOP was used to remove a concrete cover, then the remaining 5 mops entered the same hole. The two other holses suspected to be impacts, are actually just part of the ventilation.”

“U.S. Supreme Court allows — for now — deportations to third countries”

“The Supreme Court on Monday stayed a lower court order that required people set to be deported to countries other than their own to be allowed challenge their deportation orders.

The order focused on a flight of eight men from various countries — including Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba and Mexico — which was initially headed to South Sudan but ended up in the East African country of Djibouti in order to give the people time to dispute their final destination. The U.S. government says the men are violent criminals, convicted of crimes including murder, sexual assault, kidnapping and robbery, and they don’t deserve to stay in the U.S.”

“US Supreme Court lifts limits on deporting migrants to countries not their own”

https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-supreme-court-lifts-limits-deporting-migrants-countries-not-their-own-2025-06-23/

That’s a long dissenting opinion.

US Supreme Court lifted a judge’s order that required President Donald Trump’s administration to give people 10 days notice and a chance to object before they are deported to a so-called third country.

It looks like Iran filled in the tunnel entrances before the strike with dirt.

I’m guessing that was their attempt to prevent an Israeli ground attack.

Initially I assumed the 16 trucks in the released photos was an attempt to remove lots of equipment from underground. But it looks like the trucks were bringing dirt in.

“In satellite images after the strike, the facility’s entrance tunnels appeared filled in with dirt. Experts said that was probably a measure taken as part of Iran’s preparation for an attack, possibly in an attempt to shield the facility inside.

Satellite imagery released by Maxar Technologies showed a flurry of abnormal activity near the entrance tunnel in the three days preceding the U.S. strikes.

On June 19, there were 16 cargo trucks near an entrance tunnel. The following day, the trucks had moved northwest away from the site, but other trucks and bulldozers were near the entrance.

New dirt could be seen in the tunnel entrances on June 20, and far more is visible in satellite images taken after the strikes.”

Piss in his diaper.

“Sean Hannity said on Saturday night that President Donald Trump gave him details on the U.S. strikes in Iran. According to the “Hannity” host, the U.S. used six bunker buster bombs —each of which weighs 15 tons — in its strikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. The bombs were dropped from American B-2 stealth bombers.

Fordow had two entrances and one ventilation shaft, which likely served as the entrance points for the Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs).

Additionally, 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines were used in the attacks on the Nanatz and Isfahan facilities. There is speculation that the missiles were shot from Ohio Class Submarine, but there has been no confirmation.”

Muslim Boy and Jon Boy are SAD tonight. All their crap posting had no effect.

Read that 6 bunker busters were used against the underground facility and 30 tomahawks were used against the other 2 locations.

Reports seem suspect. While Israel might do a ground attack, that doesn’t seem likely until Trump makes his decision.

“Update from JFeed: In Response to Many of You — Reports of Ground Strikes Near Fordow Under Review

In response to the many questions we’ve received: Yes, we’re aware of the reports about possible ground-based strikes near the Fordow nuclear facility. At this stage, we have no independent confirmation, and we are closely monitoring the situation. As always — when there’s something solid to report, you’ll read it here first.”

Some reports of a ground attack against Fordow.

But definitely in the unconfirmed status right now.

“Sun is up in Tehran, not hearing much however.”

Another day in which the Israelis can excel.

Turandot apparently is performed every other year at the Verona Opera Festival.

It will be there in 2026, but we can’t make it. We are already traveling to Italy in Jan/Feb for the Milan Winter Olympics.

So 2028 will be the next opportunity. Its on my wife’s bucket list.
