I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

If Karoline Leavitt or anyone in this administration has receipts showing that Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13, or engaged in human trafficking, they’d be presenting them in a power point presentation every single day.

Wow! HHS is hitting new levels of recklessness and incompetence… U.S. citizens are being threatened with deportation by Homeland Security. Nicole Micheroni isn’t just a citizen—she’s an immigration attorney. And she got a notice to leave the country within 7 days.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking." (The White House hasn't provided evidence for any of these claims ... )

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Reporter: The president has said it would be an abuse of power for the president to direct prosecutors to investigate him. He directed the DOJ to scrutinize Chris Krebs.. How is that not an abuse of power? Leavitt: It’s the position of the president that it’s well within his authority to do it

In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt wrote that democratic backsliding "begins at the ballot box." Strongmen get democratically elected, then turn institutions into "political weapons, wielded forcefully by those who control them against those who do not."
