Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

"Take him anyway" - the chilling words of an ICE agent, when told Merwil Gutiérrez was not their suspect. 19-year-old Gutiérrez has now been deported to El Salvador's inhumane, notorious Cecot mega-prsion. We demand Gutiérrez be returned to our city.

First, they said they’ll send undocumented immigrants with no due process to a foreign prison camp. Next, they said any immigrant — documented or not. Now, they say it’s citizens. And that once they send you even on accident, they can’t bring you back.

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

The Trump Administration has admitted that they illegally sent this man to a prison in El Salvador. They are still refusing to bring him back. He must be returned immediately. This is a threat to the rights of all Americans.

Andrew Cuomo won’t talk to the families of nursing home victims. He won’t ride the subway or take a bus. He spends most of each week in hiding. But he will beg for a meeting with a 94-year-old right-wing Australian billionaire.

All 179 deportations were illegal. They were also test cases. The regime wants to skip due process + send anyone without citizenship to foreign prisons. They want to take citizenship from women. They want to know they can send your mom to a torture prison because she went to the 2017 Women's March.

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.

Now listen to this in the context of the SCOTUS’ decision. Yes, you can get a lawyer and file a habeas petition IF you can get a lawyee. But when wheels go up on the flight you are gone. And from what we’re seeing in the Garcia case this Admin will fight like hell to keep you gone.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

If being cozy with Trump is disqualifying, Andrew Cuomo should drop out of the Democratic primary too. It wouldn't be the first time he fled politics the second New Yorkers saw who he really was.

Here's the evidence ICE submitted in his case: a "gang worksheet" filled out by local cops in 2019 saying: 1) he had on Chicago Bulls gear 2) a confidential information said he was part of an MS-13 clique in a state he'd never lived in. ICE agreed they had nothing else. Read the full context here:

I do think a big part of Cuomo’s support is people who know he’s an asshole but think that’s what we need in a “fighter” who will resist Republicans, ignoring the fact that as governor he just let them operate as the majority in the legislature despite being in the minority

Kilmer Abrego Garcia was “accidentally deported” to El Salvador, and is being locked behind bars in a hell-hole prison. This is the abhorrent result of the Trump regime’s refusal to ensure due process. In America, Garcia was violently stripped of his fundamental rights. By order…
