This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

If they are sending legal immigrants to foreign concentration camps, what do they have planned for these 7 million? 🤔

DHS is asking IRS to locate **7 MILLION** suspected undocumented immigrants using confidential tax records.
It’s a massive escalation by DHS to use the tax system for mass deportation.
IRS officials are aghast, say it’s likely illegal.

Paywalls
At a time when ignorance is running rampant inside our electorate, few things concern me more than the elite mainstream media thinking that putting important stories, especially those that make the current threats to our democracy clear, behind paywalls is a good idea. (1/3)

Significant evidence suggests that anti-Tesla protests that encourage physical violence are being driven by bad actors aiming to accelerate violence and martial law. The public should engage in economic boycott and anti-Tesla information operations, but AVOID physical engagement.

PSA: When media reports on President Trump's expected invocation of Alien Enemies Act, it would be good to remind the reader/listener:
The Act also includes summary deportation of permanent legal residents and other immigrants who are lawfully present as well.
It's that extreme an emergency power.
