We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

Under Trump, ICE has become a weapon. Protesters are arrested. Immigrants are disappeared. Kilmar wasn't a threat, he was a legal resident who fit a profile. Mahmoud wasn't silenced for violence-he was targeted. This is an American Gestapo. (1/3) #FreeKilmar #DefendDueProcess #BringThemBack

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

73 million Americans rely on Social Security. That’s not a talking point. That’s a lifeline. Anyone trying to cut it isn’t “saving money” — they’re stealing futures. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

If the government can “deport” you for having beliefs they don’t like, none of us is free. Call it what you want, but it sure as shit ain’t democracy.

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

Why should you be concerned about Trump “accidentally” deporting people who have zero criminal record? Because if he can do it to them — and ignore judges when they tell him to stop — he can do it to anyone he wants.

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.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

Seems as if the DOJ is fine about ignoring a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling and really wants Abrego Garcia to rot and die in that El Salvadoran gulag.

It's called "breaking the law". That's what's going on. With DOJ now complicit, this is no longer a rule of law democracy. 😭

The United States government kidnapped and disappeared Abrego Garcia and sent him to El Salvador, without due process. As of today, the DOJ is defying the judge's order asking for his whereabouts and to facilitate his immediate return. This is next level authoritarianism.
