The #Trump admin had asked #SCOTUS to intervene & lift a block on the #deportations imposed by a lower court. But a brief filed on behalf of the #immigrants by the #ACLU & #DemocracyForward said that block is now “the only thing” preventing the Trump admin from sending immigrants “to a prison in #ElSalvador, perhaps never to be seen again, without any kind of procedural protection, much less judicial review.”
Not my observation:
If only citizens have civil rights, then nobody does.
You can be declared a noncitizen and whisked off to some gulag in El Salvador regardless. Now, if you're a citizen, how are you going to contest this?
@Nonilex
Isn't this just asking the Supreme Court to make courts unnecessary?
@Nonilex didn't the trump regime send more people to El Salvador late Sunday night in spite of the court order? These so-called "law enforcement" types don't care about laws at all.
