It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

We are at a dangerous, dangerous moment in US history, where the President of the United States is threatening to send US citizens to be imprisoned by a foreign ally, and the foreign ally is saying it won't respect an US court orders to release people that it's holding.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Sotomayor: "The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

The Trump Administration hauled these men off to a brutal foreign prison system without due process, in defiance of the court system. We have so far seen zero evidence that they are "gang members" as the govt claims. This is the stuff of nightmares.

St. Patrick's Day is, for me and many other Irish Americans, a time of celebration of immigrant predecessors. But it is vital, as we reflect upon that heritage, that we respect the current migrants pursuing freedom in the US. This is a time of crisis for many of them and our entire nation.

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

It's estimated that anywhere from 33,000-55,000 Canadians served in the American Civil War, mostly serving on the Union side. Notably among them was Dr. Anderson Ruffin Abbott, the first Canadian-born Black physician and the first Black surgeon commissioned in the Union Army.

Important thread. I’ve been thinking about this a lot, especially with how few universities are standing up for multiculturalism, for integration, for inclusion in the midst of these ideological purges.
