Summary

The MAGA cinematic universe has gone into full meltdown after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s latest deportation push.

The ruling halted deportations that rely on the Alien Enemies Act—in a stunning 7-2 decision. “The Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America’s ruination,” wrote DHS liaison Paul Ingrassia.

“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.

Tom Fitton suggested Trump suspend habeas corpus to “reverse the Biden invasion.” “Who will compensate the American people for the lasting damage?” Rep. Mary Miller asked.

“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.

Yes, that's exactly the point.

I believe I saw someone say on Tumblr that if you enjoy having rights then you should advocate the strongest for criminals enjoying rights as well, because otherwise, the Government can always just take your rights away by labelling you a criminal.

Or, as has been trendy lately, a Salvadoran gang member.

Yes, Thats what I've been saying.

You only have as many rights as an accused criminal does.

and if we can remove due process from someone who is accused of being a criminal, and sent them to a central american torture prison with no judge, jury, hearing, or anything... Then anyone can be sent to a central american torture prison, because all it will take is a baseless accusation to strip you of all your supposedly inalienable rights.

That's just what a Salvadoran gang member would say.

We live in a society where criminals have the right to a free public defender 😱

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

A public defender who's overworked and probably not even that ~~good~~ effective at his job. You must have a weak case to be concerned about a free lawyer.

Edit: Calling public defenders "not good" is a bit low but they are overworked and under-supported, therefore I rephrased to say they're ineffective.

not even that good at his job

There's no need to shit on public defenders to make your point.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Fair criticism. Edited my post.

[-] mako@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago

Dude. You're a badass.

[-] kittenzrulz123 3 points 5 days ago

Woah, so criminals have the right to fair representation, a fair trial, and in some cases a court of ones peers? :0

Naurr, who cares about constitutionally protected rights like due process when you're a dictator. Those freedoms just get in the way of ~~turning America into a christofascist dystopia~~ making America great again

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago

Stephen Miller is a whiny little bitch. Literally watch any interview, and tell me I’m wrong. 😂 What a cruel and stupid little man.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 24 points 6 days ago

Considering how many people they arrest and claim to be terrorists that's a good thing.

Break a window on a Tesla? Terrorist!

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

Speak Spanish, believe it or not, also terrorist.

Go to University and study anything but STEM or Economics or not be a white christian male? Straight to gitmo.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

Buy a Chicago Bulls hat at a thrift store and have brown skin?

Well, you all know the drill by now.

MAGA supporter shooting at a school: tHouGhtsS aNd PrAyErS.

Dem boycotted a Tesla: MAGA says, “DOMESTIC TERRORISM!”

[-] Damage@feddit.it 16 points 6 days ago

I mean, how do you prosecute someone who has no legal representation?

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

that requires due process, and who needs that when you got ICE picking people up off the streets at random, slapping temporary tattoos on them, to justify throwing them in planes to be sent to torture prisons.

[-] TronBronson@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

This is so funny too because I grew up in a time where the police would tell you to not lock your car door if someone was breaking your windows out regularly. No one ever got prosecuted for that shit.

I commented on the wrong post my bad this was to op 😭
