The Trump administration came to the Supreme Court on Monday morning, asking the justices to block an order by a federal judge in Maryland that instructed the federal government to return a Maryland man erroneously deported to El Salvador, where he is being held in a maximum-security mega-prison, to the United States by Monday evening.

Get every R on record as to why they're not impeaching Trump for this.

I mean, we all know why: they agree with it and so do their constituents. Kilmar is brown and that makes his legal status inherently less significant in their eyes. America is still racist AF and everyone voted to keep it that way.

If ICE can snatch anyone off the streets and illegally deport them, against court orders, then there's no reason to imagine that they wouldn't do the same thing to anyone else of the wrong skin tone, including legal citizens. Trump is already fantasizing about sending American citizens to the same prison.

“Well, I love that,” Trump said. “If we could take some of our 20-time wise guys that push people into subways and that hit people over the back of the head and that purposely run people over in cars — if he would take them, I would be honored to give them.”

“I don’t know what the law says on that, but I can’t imagine the law would say anything different,” he said. “If they can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I’m all for it, but I would only do according to the law.”

“I think if we could get El Salvador or somebody to take them I’d be very happy with it. But I have to see what the law says,” Trump added.

It WILL happen if he is not stopped.

Why stop there? You could also send political nuisances there. If he'd deport AOC and send her to a camp like that then Chuck Shumer would say 3 stern sentences about it and then continue with his meek day.

John Sauer, who was confirmed as the U.S. solicitor general last week, told the justices that U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis had “ordered unprecedented relief: dictating to the United States

That's what a court order is

that it must not only negotiate with a foreign country

The one you negotiated with already to imprison your deportees for money

to return an enemy

If anyone's an enemy here it's you

alien on foreign soil,

Where you put him

but also succeed by 11:59 p.m. tonight.”

Then maybe you should stop wasting time and get to work on that

At this point I think he just wants confrontation and to "put someone in their place"

[-] socialmedia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

If he can arrest and deport anyone, even those that have broken no laws, then why can't we arrest and deport him?

If the laws don't matter anymore then just say it. If it'd going to be a free-for-all then let's at least be honest about it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
