I keep thinking about how Trump, during his first term, talked about building an alligator-filled moat to use against immigrants, and few really took him seriously, and now he talks about sending Americans to CECOT and it gets brushed off the same way

I continue to be struck by this language of “in accordance with the president’s priorities,” which treats the executive branch as an extension of the person of the president, and not a mechanism for instituting the will of Congress

At Alcatraz, every prisoner had a lawyer, a trial, was convicted by a jury and sentenced by a judge.
No one in this republican concentration camp has had any due process...and these ghouls are pleased that alligators are in the vicinity. These are pro-life Christians.Evil.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.

Note to media:
“Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

What an obscenely terrible headline.
I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted.
The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.
