FUCK DOJ has, in general, not relied on Trump v. US, even in all its most expansive claims to be able to do what they want. But in Broadview--where defendants suspect that Todd Blanche's enforcer Akash Singh was involved--DOJ went there. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![Separately, as the Supreme Court recently held, “[i]nvestigative and prosecutorial
decisionmaking is ‘the special province of the Executive Branch,’” and so even the “President may
discuss potential investigations and prosecutions with his Attorney General and other Justice
Department officials to carry out his constitutional duty to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully
executed.” Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593, 620 (2024) (quotations and citations omitted).
Thus, members of the Executive Branch are constitutionally required to “take Care that the Laws
be faithfully executed,” and it is entirely appropriate for them to “decide which crimes to
investigate and prosecute.” Id. (quoting U.S. Const. Art. II, § 3). Although the Supreme Court in
2024 made clear that the law permits such interactions, as already noted and consistent with
Department policy, in this matter, the United States Attorney reported the Office’s charging
decision to Main Justice shortly before the first grand jury presentation in this case. R. 110 at 4,

The sheer number of people dying in ICE custody is terrifying. Of course, this is fascist, but let's not forget that Nazis also drew from Jim Crow laws and hung out with American eugenicists. These ideas keep traversing the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans back and forth.
