Trump is denying due process to foreign nationals here legally before ripping them from their families and deporting them.

Do we really believe this regime will follow any sort of due process for American citizens before Trump tries to deport them?

Call it what it is: fascism.
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

Snapshot: "Home-Growns Are Next"
Donald Trump is not just hungry to kidnap migrants without due process. He said out loud today he's ready to deport American citizens. We've been warned.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.
