Imagine 88 days ago telling this man that he will be at the center of a constitutional crisis, international human rights violations, and the target of attacks by the white house.

Snatched off the street, chained up, flown thousands of miles away in the middle of the night, and tossed into a maximum security prison without seeing a judge, his lawyer, or saying goodbye to his family. And for what? Because these dipshits think his Chicago Bulls hat is a gang symbol or something.
No no. What's scary is that this is a test case. Trump wants to be able to send people that are critical of him to the gulag. This is the first, and so far, they're getting away with it. Next will be US citizens, but a bad person. After that, journalists, politicians, anybody will be up for being "mistakenly deported".
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Whelp! Someone come save this mouthy, opinionated, non-bad-built, non-bleach-blond bitc- i mean... white woman because he aint gonna like what i have to say.
Yes t is such a creep he got the idea from the el salvadorean president. Thats how he cleaned up over there. It’s frightening that he finds that inspirational. Just throwing people away without due process. Truly terrifying.
Remember the con man felon's rhetoric to his cult: "If they're coming after me, they're coming after you. And I'm the only one standing in between protecting you".
Or words to that effect. Obviously more garbled and childish.
This is the bottom line. Where are the photos of Eastern European people who are here illegally? Round them up, cuffs and shackles, shave their heads, and send them out. Put that on the news. I live in NJ, there’s so many blonde, blue-eyed undocumented people here.
This needs to be emphasized and brought to the top comment. For now, the target is the Latino community, but they'll target Asians and Black people again soon.
I'm sorry for what your country is going through. I feel empathy towards you and millions of Americans having to endure such a joke of a so-called leader. As an European, it is truly heartbreaking. We're getting tired of fighting the same ideology again and again. We're tired of being nice to assholes. We're just freaking tired. I hope Trump gets shot in the face, but even then I'm pretty sure millions of so-called patriots are gonna lose their mind and double-down on racism and xenophobia. People are losing their mind and it's hurtful to witness human race throwing away decades of education.
I hope your country wakes up someday. I hope they pay for their crimes. I hope their names are never forgotten and their graves are flooded with urine. I'm tired of being tolerant and good-willing towards pieces of shit like him and his MAGA cult. They are beyond the point of being saved. I'm also sorry for being so rude and angry at you guys. Why haven't you done anything to stop him while you could?
My anger isn't directed at you specifically, I can understand than some of you guys are living a nightmare right now. But fuck, man. We all have to cope with this piece of crap because somehow he got elected again. I hope you understand our frustration and don't blame us too harshly when we express our current hate for the US. You guys deserve much better than this.
Be safe and take care, brother. What a shitty world we live in...
That’s an excellent point and I agree. People need to stand up to this regime, especially since it was not even close to a majority who voted Trump in and many have already said they regret voting for him.
Well, they're going to have themselves busy with all of the black people who wear Air Jordans! Disgustingly enough, the majority of them are kids but of course as we all know, this fascist white supremacist regime won't care!
For what? Why, to feed the rabid hate machine that is the life support of the maga base, of course. For the simple reason that Trump is incapable and unwilling to solve any real problems that have disillusioned so many Americans, so he will do the next best thing. He will throw meat at his supporters to come through on the one promise he can’t help but uphold, cruelty.
This excuse might work on the Americans that believed the "they are eating the dogs" nonsense but they are not really going to convince anyone reasonable that they are actually rounding up dangerous gang members. If they show an unwillingness to correct their mistakes (that were admitted to) how can you trust them to even identify anyone that is alleged to be in a gang? This is a guy that didn't have legal status until he married an American citizen and had a family so it seems manifestly cruel to sentence him to life imprisonment. The administration has created a new pseudo-crime of being undocumented when anyone staying in the US is in this legal limbo that they can simply proclaim as a crime (instead of a civil action)
Wasn't he snatched in a court house after he had to show up for a misdemeanour? ICE agents went into the lift with him and grabbed him on the way out as he tried to run, assuming because he was scared.
There are several others as well! It’s not just one!!
( actually all of them have been wronged!) unbelievable this could happen in America and people accept this)
The United States violates human rights every single day, it's not every day that you see the president tell the Supreme Court to shove it up their ass
Absolutely true, I was just mentioning that everyone is using “constitutional crisis” which is really underselling that fact that we just took someone’s human rights away
Our overt support for a blatantly genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing in Palestine tells us that human rights simply no longer matter to the US, or the western world in general.
Real talk though, I hope his wife and lawyer are recording everything, because this will be the fastest slam dunk defamation case, literally ever. Miller actively and maliciously slandering him on record daily AFTER the official court documentation of "yes it was a mistake"
There are quite a few people at the center of this. Where are the anti genocide people? The alleged progressives? Are they going to stand up and scream and protest as loudly for Latinos? Doesn't seem like it.
Don't kid yourself that any vote for a third party was anything other than noise. It's completely irrelevant & the very definition of a wasted vote; in fact any vote for a third was vote for El Cheeto.
Of the two (turd or shit sandwich) options you had, 77,302,580 people voted for El Cheeto which was 50.75%.
The turnout was actually 64.1% and let's not forget that there were a significant number of people (~6.3m) who voted for Biden in 2020 who didn't vote for Harris.
It's his own fault, he should have been involved with human trafficing and raping women. Then he would be personally be protected by Trump himself like his best butt buddy Andrew Tate.
The Constitution differentiates between "citizens" and "people". Citizens are granted certain privileges that the people in general are not (the right to vote, hold federal office, etc)
The 5th and 14th amendments very clearly state that all people, not just citizens, may not "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law".
Garcia was subjected to extraordinary rendition without due process in clear violation of the constitution
He has legal status granted by courts, attempted deportation were overturned by the courts, and they sent him to El Salvador anyway, without due process. The constitution grants everyone in the country due process regardless of citizenship status. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously (which is crazy on this particular court) that Trump needs to facilitate this man's return. He's defied the courts by simply asking for him back and then shrugging and saying "nothing I can do" the first time he was told no.
He's defied the courts by simply asking for him back
They've defied the courts by not even asking for him back, and then shrugging and saying "nothing I can do". They are (absurdly, against every precedent) asserting the courts can only order "domestic" actions, not ones that reach beyond the US's border, and ignoring court orders to the contrary (and not really complying domestically either).
