yup |
This is so horrific and people who are okay with it think it could never happen to them or someone they love (that's the only way to be okay with it) - but this is absolutely a test of America's tolerance for loss of due process, and when due process erodes, it erodes for everyone. It won't just be people with brown skin who you don't think should be here. But keep thinking this doesn't affect you. We FA ... we FO. |
This. I’m here because my grandparents fled countries where this happened. They’d be appalled at it happening here. We all should be. |
You and the PP... maybe you are the same person. Why do you act like immigrating is a the most horrible act? You know that the US allows a lot of legal immigration, don't you? The reasons some get to authorization and others do not are varied and complex. Unless you are 100% Native American, it's likely that someone in your own family immigrated relatively recently. Can you remember the reasons why? Does it make them immoral, horrible people, incomprehensible, worthy of being sent to a concentration camp? Sigh. I know you are just going to snap "it is a horrible act because it is illegal." If the US send illegal immigrants to CECOT for nothing other than their immigration status, then we are no better than the places that violate human rights with impunity. Is that want you want? Don't you believe in human rights? Don't you realize that the image of the US, and it's role in the world, will fall and that this will affect you in many ways?? In any case, a judge ruled that he could not be deported to El Salvador and he was . This is a MUCH worse mistake than anything the man has done so I strongly disagree that he is the only one at fault |
An immigration judge, who is part of the executive branch. And this judge's order was posted on the previous page. The conclusion says Guatemala, not El Salvador. |
My mother emigrated to the US in 1962 from England, got a job, got married + a green card, bought a house, put money in a 401k, had 3 kids, and has never broken the law. The woman hasn’t gotten so much as a speeding ticket in 63 years. She has contributed to SS and has always paid her taxes.Yet, now at age 82 she could be deported. According to your rationale, because she has a green card Trump and his band of facists could pick her up at the library/senior center tomorrow and ship her off to El Salvador with no due process. Oh, it could be a MISTAKE, a judge could have opposed her arrest and stay in El Salvador but who cares! If you don’t see how this is a problem, we are lost as a country. |
The DoJ says the government knew full well not to send him to El Salvador so it’s weird that they’re not using your DCUM defense about Guatemala that you keep repeating. |
It has the same effect on me as police brutality/misconduct, imprisoning of people for crimes they didn't commit, or people escaping charges because they're rich or socially prominent. It undermines faith in the impartiality and fairness of the system. Last month I saw a person who seemed to be fall down drunk, on the sidewalk by a 6 lane road. I hesitated a minute to call 911 because the person was brown, and I wasn't certain they'd be safe with police. I DID call, and waited till police and ambulance arrived, but I shouldn't have had to debate calling, IMO. That's why wrongful acts by authorities, which aren't corrected promptly cause me an issue, and destroys our reliance on LEOs and judges |
According to PP your mom is first up ahead of the undocumented, even. What a great system according to PP. |
No, I was appalled when Biden and the DNC just opened the doors and invited ten million unvetted poverty cases in. |
I say we bring them back and put them in Martha's Vineyard. |
Yes, but the man in question is brown. It’s okay for brown and black people to be treated this way. |
Trump’s DOJ is fighting this because they guy is probably dead already. |
I saw this- I thought they were placed on administrative leave, but full on fired? good times |
This is terrifying. The administration is fighting this so hard not because they care about this specific person - they just want the unfettered power to expel *anyone* they want to without having to follow the constitution or follow court orders. This lawyer had the audacity to tell the truth and got fired for it. |
