The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus.
But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.

Jeffries: China punked the administration and the administration backed down. That’s no surprise because we’ve seen that happen over and over and over again.

ICE cannot deport US citizens. This should not even be a discussion.
Astounded Republicans voted against this.

Awful.... I'm looking now for the language the Republicans approved. Will post below when I find it
🚨Jasmine Crockett & Eric Swalwell begged House Judiciary Republicans to vote NO. They offered deals, sweeteners, the whole package. And those damn soulless traitors STILL voted to let Trump exile American citizens.
This isn’t just betrayal—it’s the birth of authoritarian rule.
Sound the alarm.🚨

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

We have been in a constitutional crisis for over a month, but now it is official.
Worse, Trump, in his meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, lied by stating that the Supreme Court ruled in his favor. He then went on to suggest that El Salvador build more prisons for American citizens.

Donald Trump Is Defying The Supreme Court
In the case of the wrongfully removed immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration is defying — and lying about — a Supreme Court order.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.
