Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

This point is what all the shitlibs fail to understand: definitions of violence vary, and the state has a very different definition. Like how it is "violence" to break a window, but it is merely "policy" to let people die from taking away their medicaid.

NEW INVESTIGATION: A private equity-fueled for-profit chain slashed patient care for years while its executives got rich. So we scraped every malpractice, personal injury, and wrongful death case tied to Steward hospitals.
And we found how mothers, newborns, and others paid the ultimate price.

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.
