This is appalling for the mistreatment, the arbitrary refusal to honor a valid visa, and the contempt of court, but on top of that: We do not have enough transplant physicians. They are worth more than their weight in gold. The Trump admin just deported one solely out of bigotry. - ThreadSky

Trump wants every MIT graduate to be an air traffic controller and now he’s just tossing transplant surgeons out on their ass.

I’m sure there are plenty of MAGA that can replace him

A lot of Elon's potential H1B visa applicants may decide it isn't safe to come the new United States of fascism.

My father was a liver transplant recipient. The surgery was at Emory in Atlanta. He lived 10 years with that liver. This is despicable.

I'm an 11-year kidney transplant recipient. My surgery was at the Swedish Organ Transplant Center in Seattle. Despicable indeed.

Hope you are doing well!

I am! Thank you. ❤️

is it reasonable to say that a contempt order shall be issued by this court/Judge by tomorrow mid day PDT?

happyrumrunner.bsky.social•13 days ago

no more transplants for MAGA then

peridotorchid.bsky.social•13 days ago

Some of them are being denied transplants because they refuse to be vaccinated for Covid. It's standard protocol for organ transplants, yet they are claiming it's some kind of discrimination. Ignorant, entitled MAGAs.

Trump and his goons say he has a "mandate" for his crimes, the journalists note that of the 39 Presidential elections since the end of the Civil War, Trump's margin of victory in the popular vote was close to the bottom: 31st. His electoral college margin is not a a lot better at 29th. No Mandate.

Also blatant disregard of the court order NOT to deport her.

Transplant physician deported despite valid visa and judicial protection revealing administration prioritizing xenophobia over American lives. Nothing exposes governance failure quite like expelling medical specialists while thousands await life saving organs they might have received.

Ya this country is in big trouble. There's no rule of law anymore. The cops & military have abandoned the constitution.

janetlousie58.bsky.social•13 days ago

Shit.
