It cannot be overstated how insane and dangerous this argument is. They're saying that the government can illegally abduct and imprison people—and even admit that it screwed up!—and then remove the ability of any court to intervene by shipping the victim to a foreign gulag.

I think this is beyond the tariffs at this point. Global markets have lost confidence in the United States government.

The US is supposed to be hosting the World Cup in 14 months...
Unreal: the story of an Australian MMA coach sent to a harrowing detention prison upon arriving in the US with a visa to lead a seminar.
In case you had any doubt if it’s worth the risk of trying to enter the US unless absolutely necessary.

A funny thing is that "how would they treat a Democratic President in the same situation" thing is totally hypothetical because all the huge market crashes in my lifetime happened under Republicans.

Crazy to say but this may actually be the best possible timeline for the country's long term future.
An economic crash is the likely the only thing that can really turn the powers that be against this admin in a meaningful way. Anyone with power will be forced to push back soon.
