Alien Enemies Act - Judge - president’s actions weren’t legal because the US isn’t being invaded

The fun part about all of this is that Nashville is notoriously blue, so it is clearly being targeted ahead of other locations in TN.

But a lot of the tourists, and clearly some of the business owners, are clearly Trump supporters. Doesn't bother me a bit to see them suffer.

 

Let's do it. Let's find out how much we really rely on undocumented workers.

 

Obviously, they won't do that.

This is all just part of the dog and pony show to convince Trump supporters that they're doing anything meaningful about illegal immigration ....... without so much as even proposing lasting or effective legislation.

I wish we could fast-forward to the end of the Trump regime in order to laugh at how people got conned (again) by his lies about fake immigration reform.

in before they are branded commies and the threats come rolling in

 

In nearly every year since 1788, this statement alone would have stopped the world in its tracks at the thought of that much ignorance in such a position.

Today, it's just Tuesday.

 

Facepalm, smdh...

 

Side note: That's my Grandfather's brother's daughter. (2nd cousin, once removed?) I met her once. DM for my autograph.

 

That was as idiotic as that Miss USA viral pageant answer "some people in our nation don't have maps and, uh, like such as, uh..."

Except that was a teenager trying to get a scholarship and tiara, whereas Noem is a troll trying to punish people "not like us."

 

She got crushed today.

 

CATO Institute reports 50 of the Venezuelans sent to CECOT were here legally. And most sent there had no criminal record. You know what a good term is for a prison that houses innocent persons sent there for an immutable characteristic line religion or race should be called? A concentration camp.

 

People asking the questions don’t just come up with them in the fly so their team has researched the issue in advance of this. Perhaps the questions should be provided in advance so research can be done beforehand.

 

Yeah, this. It was really unfair that Trump's ignorant sycophant didn't have access to the question.

Thus, when asked, she had no clue about something that could be found on a 10th grade civics exam.

#NOT FAIR!

 

Although a majority of Americans probably couldn't have answered the question regarding habeas corpus the person questioned wasn't an average American she is the Secretary of a Cabinet Department and oversees multiple law enforcement agencies that have the power to detain persons. She should have a knowledge about a core Constitutional principle. On the other hand maybe she is knowledgeable about the writ of habeas corpus and provided an answer that would please the intentionally ignorant President who appointed her.

 

So we sent at least 50 people (it is likely more than that as Cato could only get records on 90 in terms of entry) who had no criminal records, including illegal entry, to a prison run by a dictator in a foreign country with no due process.

Do any of the Trump supporters have the courage to call out the fairly obvious crime against humanity (and I'm using the legal definition of that term as the people in that prison have been imprisoned without being charged or convicted of a crime- one form of a crime against humanity while some also would fall under the forced disappearanc definition- which is why Cato can't get records on a large chunk of them) that is perpetuated by their preferred political candidate? Or would that be treating legal migrants like they were people, a bridge too far?

 

To ask the same question in a slightly different way. Any MAGA supporters believe anyone should be sent to prison for life without ever being convicted in a court of law? How about being sent to prison without ever even being charged with a crime?
