🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there.
Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Let me put it simply: What kind of America do you want to raise your family in - one in which political corruption is the norm & deliberate cruelty is encouraged, or one in which everyone, regardless of status or circumstance, is treated the same under the law?

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Let me get this straight… The sitting US President is openly calling to deport (read: human traffic) US citizens to a foreign prison camp, that has substantial reports of severe human rights abuses.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp.
As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.
