As I watch Democrats fold on rights for marginalized groups, it kind of makes me want to scream.
If you are willing to give any group up, I don’t trust you and I don’t want to know you.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens
