They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Amazing lightning-fast spin from the right trying to frame the Minnesota shooter as a far-left radical.
He is the exact opposite. All seventy names on his list are democrats. Fifty of those are abortion providers or advocates. Local MSP news interviews with people who know him say he was huge MAGA

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.

There is nothing that's going to make him stop lying, gaslighting or breaking the law. Nothing ever has.
Note well all the enablers. When he's gone they will look to rewrite history and continue their public service careers.
Do not permit that to happen.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
