"Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not given any hearing before a court or administrative body before being summarily whisked away and thrown in one of the most notorious jails in the world." Who can be safe in America when this is happening?
Where Does Kilmar Abrego Garcia Get His Due Process?
The Trump administration’s admitted “error” could have been avoided if they’d followed the rules.

Just so that we are all clear, there is only one other country in the world that is positioned to fill all of the massive vacuums left open by the US in global leadership, innovation, and science. In every way we pull back, we empower China.

A musician with no record. A gay barber who came here legally. A father of two children mixed in due to an "administrative error." All kidnapped by plain clothes ICE agents and sent to a Foreign Prison. Think it can't happen to citizens? No one is a citizen without due process.

Gutted to see the Woodrow Wilson Center included in this. It has been a crucial institution in the production, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge about the history of the U.S. and the world. Its Cold War archives are a priceless teaching and research tool. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/u...
