Hey Sen. Joni Ernst, people shouldn't be dying of treatable conditions because their Senators cut social safety nets that people have paid into all their lives, so they no longer have access to the care that would treat or manage their conditions.
The fact that this has to be spelled out is insane.

Oh, look, I wrote this two months ago.
The purpose of the deportations we have been seeing has not been to fight antisemitism, but rather to use antisemitism as a beachhead to eventually do away with foreign students altogether, using Jews as a pretext for a non-Jewish political agenda.
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration is discussing plans to try to block certain colleges from having any foreign students if it decides too many are "pro-Hamas," senior Justice and State Department officials tell Axios.

It definitely made sense for the stable genius to start a trade war with Canada and talk about making them our 51st state right before he rolled out a grand plan for a Golden Dome missile defense system that requires the cooperation and help of Canada. Master strategist.

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.
Harvard was able to file a 72 page complaint less than 24 hours after Trump attacked foreign students. Guess they were expecting it

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

This is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)
The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.
