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.

Disappearing people, without trial or due process, to foreign prisons, in defiance of the Supreme Court ruling. Isn't this exactly the America that we've told ourselves we could never be again?

THIS is CECOT - the “prison” in El Salvador where Trump is sending people rounded up in the US - with NO due process - so that they get disappeared. Trump has “joked” that the next people to go will be American citizens. Who’s next? These are dark fucking days. This can’t stand.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
