The #SCOTUS majority ALSO preemptively makes clear (in response to #Alito's written #dissent), that the government cannot get around #ClassAction treatment by agreeing to give notice to the class plaintiffs.
In rejecting jurisdictional arguments raised by the dissent, they bolster the lawsuits challenging the #AlienEnemiesAct.
More video disputes #AlinaHabba & #DHS spox version of events. This video via Marco Foster also shows #Newark Mayor #RasBaraka’s arrest occurred outside the detention facility’s gates.

You can see in this video from Axios of Mayor #Baraka's #arrest, the incident took place outside the high gates surrounding the detention facility.
The throng of people is mainly made up of press trying to record the arrest.

#Trump #DHS spox Tricia McLaughlin in a *statement* [propaganda] called the incident "a bizarre political stunt" by a group of #protesters.
The group that included members of #Congress "*stormed* the gate & *broke into* the detention facility" as a busload of detainees entered a security gate, McLaughlin said.
The protesters "holed up in a guard shack, the first security check point," she said.
[problematically for her there’s video]
#Baraka, 55, is a #Democrat running for #governor of #NewJersey. Kabir Moss, a spox for Baraka's campaign, confirmed the #arrest at the facility #DelaneyHall.
At least 3 #House #Democrats from NJ were also at the detention center, acc/to a post from Rep #BonnieWatsonColeman.
…The mayor's admin filed a lawsuit in late March to block the opening of the #Newark #immigrant #detention facility, arguing its operators failed to obtain the proper permits & violated city code.
Mayor #Baraka "committed trespass & ignored multiple warnings" from DHS officials who told him to leave the facility, alleged #AlinaHabba, fmr #Trump defense atty & interim #USattorney for #NewJersey.
"He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody," Habba, wrote on X.
"NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW," she added.

Mounting #dissent within #Israel’s military and academic institutions highlights deepening divisions over the Gaza #war.

„Every week, Israelis take to the streets in a multifaceted protest with a common thread of animosity toward the prime minister. The dissent is amplified by the resumption of bombings in Gaza.“
The Met Police achieve a Streisland win - finally being reported by the MSM. They must be so proud. Pratts.
More than 20 Metropolitan Police officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women who had met to discuss climate change and Gaza.
None have been charged - but the message iOS clear. Under Labour dissent is BAD.
