People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

The Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport immigrants to countries they aren’t from — including Libya and South Sudan — without giving them time to contest the deportation.

Supreme Court rules Trump can rapidly deport immigrants to Libya, South Sudan and other countries they aren’t from
A federal judge had previously blocked the Trump administration’s plans to deport immigrants to third-country destinations, but some of them have remained detained in another African county, Djibouti.

Deporting illegal immigrants is lawful. Imprisoning them in El Salvador makes a mockery of the Eighth Amendment.

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.
