It was a messed up and false thing to say. (🧵9/9)

“What process is due” is a function of whether the person is in the US and whether the government here is depriving them of life, liberty, or property—full stop.

I appreciate you sharing this. It is disheartening to watch my government being dismantled and my country scrapped for parts. I will keep trying to save all I can. If you know of actions that can be taken I hope you'll share them.
