It's just remarkable that the president of the United States is running an extortion racket in broad daylight and not only is the nation apparently unable to stop it, hardly anyone will even call it what it obviously is.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers.
They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

If a Democratic president were openly & repeatedly saying that neither the 14th nor the 22nd amendment constrained him, the country would grind to a halt, the NYT & WaPo would have 96-point font front page headline articles, & the Senate impeachment trial would already be underway.
