When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

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.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
