Let's cut through it: Mr. Abrego Garcia is entitled to due process under U.S. law. That simple fact is so clear that *this* Supreme Court has unanimously ordered his return from El Salvador. (1/2)

It’s time start impeachment proceedings against all involved! Maybe stand in solidarity with @shrithanedar.bsky.social as he introduces these articles!
@slotkin.senate.gov you want to do something about it, pick any ONE FUCKING thing in this list. It's from a republican, so it's ok for you to read and consider:
Slotkin is a pathetic centrists who can only offer meaningless statements like this. If she had any courage or leadership, she would do what Van Hollen is doing.
Thank you for making this statement—it’s a good start. As a Michigander, I look forward to seeing the actions you will take to 1) see that all individuals sent to CECOT are returned, and 2) all non-citizens who have been targeted or detained for their political speech are freed.
I tend to agree. But if there’s anything that could push her to do something, it’s public pressure. As others have pointed out, we are most likely to see action when it aligns with political ambition. So we have to show her that it’s bad politics to sit on the sidelines 🤷♀️
Totally agree, senator. Unfortunately, Trump doesn't take Supreme Court orders that go against his political agenda to Make America A Dictatorship (MAAD). Who will enforce it for him to comply? The army or the people since Congress surrendered their power to him?
Given your background, it’s incumbent on you to explain why you are not treating the situation as a 4-alarm fire? You’ve been inside CIA and DOD. You confirmed Noem & Rubio? Why? Explain why we shouldn’t be in crisis mode OR DEMONSTRATE you are prepared to meet this moment on behalf of the People.
I don't want to punish good behavior, so thank you for speaking out, Senator, if a bit late. Now please do everything in your power to bring back these people that were illegally sent to El Salvador. Michigan is watching you VERY closely.
Even if they are found guilty of crimes, they should never be incarcerated by an American court somewhere outside of American jurisdiction where Constitutional rights are not followed. The whole idea is un-American.
Time for you to get a lot louder and in their faces than you are. Come back to MI and invite a few Democrats and participate in some protests...every 3-4 weeks. I voted for someone who would fight!
Felon 47 certainly pushes his due process regarding criminal and civil charges. The hypocrisy involved in taking constutional due process from others stuns me.
Where did the regime and the felon get the funds to pay el Salvador for the incarnation of people from the US. Did congress appropriate the funds our was the money removed from existing programs? Is there criminality here that will stick to the felon in the future?
WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR THE LAKEN RILEY ACT, Noem and Rubio? SURVEY SAYS: it’s what I believe these words I’m writing on social media are to deflect from my actual voting record.
Even if we accept the absurd notion that every single one of them is guilty as sin and needs to be deported, do we just accept the failure in our administration of justice because it would be easier?
Do we let it continue when he ignores the clear directive of the Supreme court's latest order?
Excellent emphasis on *this* supreme court, since most of them Trump surely expected to follow suit. They surely fear lynching more should their protections fail. Speaks volumes of who they think is the greater retaliatory power.
Thank you for speaking out. I’m not going to shit on you like others in the comments for not doing it when *they* require you should. Acting that way pushes people away, and doesn’t help. However, I do hope you will continue to speak out, and take action.
Trump got DeAngelo Ball out of jail in China! China is one of our biggest rivals on earth. DeAngelo Ball actually committed a crime stealing from a store. Abrego Garcia did nothing for this. Yet he remains behind bars. Sad!
Actually, so are all the others. They were illegally abducted. It doesn’t matter their immigration status or crimes. Due process applies to all people in the U.S. Period.
FACT: "yes" I'm covert in Trump's inner circle, that's their plan to rig the midterms and next presidential election again just like they pushed out Biden last minute, also one GOP elected official initiated legislation for Trump to serve a third term already; "is a frog's ass watertight"!
The Trump Administration must obey that directive, from a separate but equal branch of the U.S. government. Their continued failure to obey a court order from the highest court in the land calls into question the entire American Constitutional project. (2/2)
Thank you.
But stop treating the GOP/Alt-Right/Nazi’s as a political party. Like a disobedient child they ignore the constitution when dispensing malice. Then they cower behind the constitution’s skirt when their malice is returned on them.
“And what I will be doing about this is….”???? @vanhollen.senate.gov has shown us what senate leadership COULD look like, and it just underscores what insipid cowards you and so many of your colleagues are. Stand up and actually DO something. -Your Constituent
It calls into question why Congress is not doing anything to reign in and out of control executive branch. Congress has the power to do something, and they are not. They are on absolutely the wrong side of history and will be held accountable for their inaction. As a citizen, I am demanding action
You voted for Kristi Noem. You have NO RIGHT to criticize what you've enabled. Own it. Take responsibility for it. Acknowledge this. Or are you a Trumpess in disguise?
Yeah, some of these need to be reminded that these aren’t normal times. There is no benefit politically to being complicit and no brotherhood with Nazis.
Apart from the fact that he swore an oath to uphold the constitution? Yeah, we know he never honors any contact given, but all the more reason to hold him to it. “I don’t feel like it” is not a valid excuse.
It’s easy to get frustrated with their inaction, but it shouldn’t be an excuse for ours.
And what will you do when the administration continues to defy court orders and continues to erode the constitution? Another sternly worded skeet? Or is it time for impeachment?
How about you convince your moderate republican buddies to turn independent for a year to save democracy so that this administration has an additional check????
It's like you knew I was writing you a letter about this right now. I know where you stand finally, but what are you doing? Reminder you voted for Noem and the Laken Riley Act that makes it easier to ignore due process. So what are you going to do about it?
The words above the Court promise equal justice—not eventual justice, or justice that waits for executive convenience. You are right. When the executive refuses to obey the Court, it is not just a crisis of law—it is a test of whether the words carved above that Court still mean anything at all.
You voted to confirm a dog murderer. You’re supposed to be my representative, but nothing could represent my views worse. You’re a traitor to the people.
Glad to see you join in on this one senator. Will you be joining a delegation to El Salvador or are there any votes coming up that you were going to participate in to help with this?

Take some accountability and tell us what you are going to do to make amends.
Quit being an enabler and start FIGHTING BACK!!
Pathetic

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT IN FRONT OF THIS.
YOU ARE A COWARD!!!!!!
Filed impeachment motions?
did she say anything in her Time article about this? Nope. Just GOP/Centrist talking points.
Why do all Dems turn into this once elected? $$$$$
if it took her this long to say anything about it, she doesn't plan on doing anything but damage control.
that assumes anyone on her team reads the replies here or listens to her voicemail.
You used your one big shot in the public light to talk about how amazing Ronald Regan was..
Quit posting like your voting record isn't public information you vapid liar.
Seriously, that's how sociopaths like him think. And how other world leaders play him like a fiddle.
"No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;"
Note its says "person", not "citizen", not "white person", not "persons we like", not qualified at all. Applies to ANY PERSON.
we need leaders not followers.
she's a spineless coward
Let's call it what it is.
This is a constitutional crisis. What are you doing for our Michigan neogh ors that didn't t get due process.
Van Hollen stood up for his constituents. Where are you?
Do we let it continue when he ignores the clear directive of the Supreme court's latest order?
When the ICC comes for Trump, they will come for his cabinet, too.
Do you regret your confirmation votes for Noem and Rubio?
Better late than never. Better someone else than her in 6 years.
By doing nothing, the administration is enabling his continued confinement in El Salvador.
But stop treating the GOP/Alt-Right/Nazi’s as a political party. Like a disobedient child they ignore the constitution when dispensing malice. Then they cower behind the constitution’s skirt when their malice is returned on them.
We are fighting to get it back.
It’s easy to get frustrated with their inaction, but it shouldn’t be an excuse for ours.
Not writing platitudes and confirming Trump’s cabinet appointments.
You're an alpha energy bro.
Shouldn't you be cheering this on? Or do you pick and choose what to be woke on and what is alpha energy?
