Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.

His argument fails even on its own terms.

I’m just an old-fashioned conservative who thinks that criminals should go to prison after receiving due process, and not to El Salvador or to the White House without it.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

So the kidnapped people sent to El Salvador . . . those are life sentences. Or what? There were no trials.

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...

Trump admin admits it should not have deported Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, but tells SCOTUS no court can require his return because it would intrude on Article II powers to conduct foreign negotiations.

If this stands, why can't Trump deport anyone "in error" and not have to undo?

/12 The story has gone hugely viral, in the news across the country. Great. But my favorite is a small local paper in Ohio just going “that’s bullshit, they can’t do that” and republishing the banned editorial.

If you click on the countries on this map, it’s just a reminder of how little we spend on foreign aid compared to overall federal spending.

There is waste, but to throw the baby out with the bath water is so short-sighted.
