Trump literally nuking American scientific and medical research is a bit of a political conundrum: I'm positive it's INCREDIBLY unpopular, but it's also both hard to get people to notice and hard to convey the sheer scale of the damage

Kilmar Abrego Gaecia went from “administrative error” to “illegal alien engaged in human trafficking for MS-13” in just a few probing questions. You’re next.

This is why we have due process; because random people speculating about things is a terrible way to run a government. Without due process, we're all just vigilantes. At its core, that's what this is about. Due process and the rule of law. Everything else is window dressing.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

Okay I’m increasingly convinced at least some of the people sent to CECOT are either dead or permanently lost in the system

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture. That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

So Van Hollen managed to meet with El Salvador's Vice President, and his honest answer to the question "why are you holding this man if neither your nor my government has evidence that he is MS-13" was "because America is paying us to hold him there?" Do I have that right?

These are both one-sided reports, so caution is warranted. But now there are two reports, a week apart, of U.S. lawyers stopped at the border in which border agents wanted access to their phones. (1) 4/7/25 freep.com/story/news/l... (2) 4/15/25 nbcnewyork.com/news/nationa...

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

This is so spot-on! I worry that if (big if!) they bring back Garcia the left will "declare victory" and stop paying attention... while Romero and hundreds more are left to rot, and more continue to be sent to CECOT without due process

Shocking that an aspiring autocrat given near total immunity by the Supreme Court is now exercising that immunity to undermine the Supreme Court and democracy altogether. Honestly who could have see this coming??🤔

The regime calls immigrants criminals because of who they are, not what they’ve done. Their crime is their existence in this white man’s country. The Garcia case is an example par excellence. Liberals should take this angle and push for true and impartial law and order.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court. But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long. Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

I was just cc-ed on an email where a Nobel prize winner and green card holder who's spent a lot of time in the US says he cannot risk coming back at this point for a visit. And I cannot blame him for this decision. We are witnessing absolute mad king behavior.
