morally it is obviously the right thing to do
cynically, I think it’s also the right play, because immigration is what’s been propping up Trump’s approval
it highlights how his policy there is just as capricious and stupid and fundamentally against American principles as the rest of it

'We have to keep the focus on tariffs' — folks, the cashier at Safeway has that covered. You are free to talk about the innocent men we've sent to a foreign gulag and the lie it gives to Trump's posturing on his main issue if you so choose. History will mark it if you don't.

The smart political move (and correct moral move) is to hammer at this and weaken him on this issue.
Pushing back and showing the depravity of it shows that it's not some fact of life that we are being invaded or need a brutal, inhuman response with everyone agreeing and Trump delivering
"Trump is pissing on one of the dearest principals the founding father's held and he might do it to you too!" is much easier to message
during campaign season, you want the agenda to be covered in issues you own. that's sensible. during off season, you ATTACK THE ISSUES THE OTHER PARTY OWNS.
They’re far, far more cynical than we could ever be.
Also, most Americans have no idea how irrational our immigration laws are, so tell them!
this is their signature issue, it’s not going to go away just because you yell about tariffs
make them out to be the monsters they are, “we don’t disappear people arbitrarily to foreign prisons” is a fight you can win
But I have bad-good news…
As it is, we’d better fucking depose these assholes. If we can’t they’re not going to get to send me to a camp because I’ll die of embarrassment first.
Simply getting re-elected within a fascist regime will not save the country, nor will it protect them.
