Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.
The answer is due process.

SCOTUS handed Trump a blank check for criminality— they shouldn’t be shocked he’s cashing it. Immunity was the invitation to ignore the law, the courts, and them. They shouldn’t be surprised. You don’t crown a criminal and expect loyalty to the law. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Disgusting. The goal here is to incentivize future insurrectionists. This will ensure that his MAGA loyalists will cause violence when he loses next time.
January 6 rioters had to pay restitution for attacking our democracy.Trump’s DOJ wants to REFUND them.Another moment when loyalty to lawlessness was chosen over loyalty to country.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

And to accelerate the deporatations, they create a 30-day deadline. Failing to meet the deadline will be labeled a crime and subject to arrest and permanent banishment from the country.

I find it appalling that the same group who demands that there are only two sexes will in the same breath argue the varying nuance of national security as it pertains to the handling of Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information by a former President.

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

When the “first hundred days” coverage starts, keep this in mind. FDR’s hundred days was a special session of Congress that passed legislation to enact his agenda. The story here is *not* how active the Trump administration’s been—it’s the unprecedented and unconstitutional consolidation of power.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.
Enrique Tarrio just announced a lawsuit against the DOJ. He says it will be funded by their crypto investments.

When they start rounding up judges, academics, and journalists, it’s time to GTFO or prepare for the worst.
Now Trump’s got himself an FBI to go after his enemies and invent crimes which will be presented to his Justice Department for show trials. Any appeals will go to his Supreme Court. And not a single objection will be raised in Congress lest he go after them next.

I heard a great analogy of the difference between leftists and right thinking people. Democrats would feed 100 people to prevent 1 from going hungry. Republicans would starve 100 people to prevent 1 who didn’t really need it from benefitting.
