This can’t happen soon enough. He’s an aspiring, modern-day Heinrich Himmler.

If the government were hurtling people into space without due process, people in danger of being so hurtled should be able to get an injunction saying the government can’t do that to people. The Administration’s position is that this is, in effect, what they are doing.

Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration. It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

Is there any link between the Trump admin’s “deal” with El Salvador and Bukele’s plan for a “Bitcoin City,” which was going to be scaled back in order to receive loans from the IMF — and Trump admin’s plans to use gold reserves to buy Bitcoin? Or all just coincidence theweek.com/business/eco...

The administration is going to run into a legal bind. (1) As a baseline OUTER limit, the written agreement with El Salvador is limited to 1 year. (2) The text reads: "pending the United States’ decision on their long term disposition."

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Trump: I am the strongest, most powerful person ever! The whole world lines up to kiss my ass! Courts: Return Kilmer Abrego Garcia from the El Salvador torture prison you sent him to Trump: Sorry. No can do. Totally out of my hands

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

This is basically conceding that the executive branch is sentencing random people to death with no due process or ability to reverse an error

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

I agree that this is the logical endpoint, but it is also likely its Kryptonite because then it makes our courts impotent. Courts don’t like giving up their power (see post 9/11). So the endgame, if the courts want to stay relevant, is to say the whole thing is unconstitutional from the jump

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

Very fair requests by attorneys for Abrego Garcia⬇️ Needed transparency for all the detainees unlawfully sent to El Salvador torture center. - compel government to produce written documents on agreement with El Salvador - require government officials to appear as witnesses before district court

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

There is not a soul on earth who believes that President Bukele wouldn’t immediately release Abrego-Garcia if asked by the United States. President Bukele is coming to the United States this week; he can give Abrego-Garcia a ride on his plane!

You can’t do “mass” deportation and give due process, and what conclusion you draw from that says important stuff about your commitment to law.

When the world loses confidence in the dollar, it will move on as quickly as the felon in chief did to destroy it. They do not have to put up with this nonsense and will move right on without us. Fat chance the U.S. will ever be in a position of leadership again. Impeach these people already.
