Trump is defying court orders and abusing wartime powers to deport people with no due process.
He's using the law that put Italian, German, and Japanese immigrants in detention camps during World War II.
We are not at war. Donald Trump is not a king. He is not above the law.

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like?
Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days?
Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
