This. If Trump can remove due process for migrants and declare anyone an illegal immigrant terrorist on his word alone, without needing to prove it, then he has removed due process for *all of us*, not just migrants. |
You made that up entirely. Burke said he is imprisoning them because we are paying him. He lives in reality instead of fake facts the way you do. Reality is not whatever thing you say at any moment. You do not control it with your imagination. Neither does President Trump, as he keeps finding out, over and over. |
The supreme court disagrees with you and with the assertion that just being undocumented is a criminal offense. It is not, despite the rhetoric from the right that falsely asserts it. |
I'll add to PPs point that many were in the US legally. I will repeat, many of the deported Venezuelans entered the US LEGALLY. They were awaiting a LEGAL asylum hearing LEGALLY. There is no violation of any kind. Can you please address the imprisonment and deportation to a third country of these particular individuals, without changing the subject? |
Being present in the U.S. without legal status is not a criminal offense; it’s a civil violation subject to deportation proceedings under immigration law. Traffic violations are not criminal. I have had traffic violations. Am I a criminal? |
It’s hard to know if some of the responses are trolls or if they’re not bright enough to understand nuances. What is meant by due process. That not all illegal = criminal. |
For sure some are trolls, but the brainwashing that is occurring in MAGA world regarding the deportations/renditions to El Salvador is really strong right now. Trump knows this is a key issue for him and he's not going to back down. I recognize the same language from MAGA trolls on this thread that I hear/read in the MAGA media. The MAGA media is very good at repeating the same things over and over until they become reality for MAGA. |
DP. I agree with you, but I also want to point out that MAGA online and very noisy, they all talk to each other and reinforce each other. But they don't realize it's the same handful of people talking to each other, they are few and they are only convincing themselves, no one else. Even Republican politicians are getting hounded by their constituents. They can pretend that their naysayers are paid by the other side but they know that longtime red people are deeply unhappy with them. So whioe a handful of the terminally online MAGA want to deport people without due process, numerically, that's only a very small number of people who actually want that. And they have lost at the Supreme Court. |
The issue with the hardliner trolls is that they repeat so many untrue and unacceptable things so much, that you can’t convince normies that those things are not true anymore.
I literally quoted the Supreme Court to someone about the illegality of sending people to foreign prisons without due process and all I got was… “rapists and gangsters, baaaah, baaaaha”. By that metric we should send Donald to CECOT. |
There is a separate law that all aliens must register with the government. |
No, Bukele didn't say that. Reportedly the deal is about Venezuelans. US Government in court said they are not paying for Garcia to be in prison. |
The lawyers? Does he mean DOJ?
DOJ has more power than the president? I hate to break it to him, but DOJ is in favor of following the law (all of them except for maybe Bondi and Mizelle, and really probably only Mizrlle). |
Jeffrey Dahmer was very obviously not innocent, starting with the discovery of body parts in his apartment, but he got his day in court. That's how it works here. |
