Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

On Halloween Eve, I'd encourage people to think kindly of teenage and even young adult trick or treaters, costumed or not.

This cohort had their childhood celebrations impacted by covid. They're not old enough to drink. Is it actually so bad if they celebrate by walking around collecting candy?
