This is FUCKING INSANE. Sending even "convicted criminals" to a country not of their origin as prisoners *just because* it's a terrible place is NOT #deportation. It's #extraordinaryrendition and even if it's technically legal, it's ethically unacceptable regardless of what their "crimes" were. #immigration #resist
#SCOTUS makes clear AGAIN that the #Trump admin cannot just throw people onto planes with little to no notice. Those subject to the #AlienEnemiesAct MUST be given time to contact a lawyer, file a #habeas lawsuit, & pursue the case. IOW #DueProcess.
Anything less is illegal.
#SCOTUS issues a direct rebuke to the #Trump admin's practice of ushering people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."

Holy freaking hell
I mean…
#Trump team urged #Ukraine to take #US deportees amid war, documents show The extraordinary request illustrates the admin’s aggressive bid to identify willing partners who will accept people expelled by the US.

@nedhamson1 Who would’ve guessed the Conservative plan was to swap out the profitable penitentiary system? Imagine an even more profitable international programme to rip off tax payers to create concentration camps, so oligarchs don’t feel threatened. #ExtraordinaryRendition #FascistExtraditionTreaties
Lawyers representing the father of the 2-yr-old #UScitizen who was deported, identified as V.M.L. in court documents, filed an emergency petition in the Western District of Louisiana on Thurs seeking her release. The child was put on a plane to #Honduras the next morning before the court opened.
@_Dreugan_ @Tenor2JT Long ago the term was #ExtraordinaryRendition now it is called #Disappeared the #TrumpMuskGOPClusterFuck and #PamBondi is now imprisoning #Judges just like #Hitler did.
Update:
Last night the #ACLU added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay stylist & makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its DC based #ClassAction against #Trump’s #AlienEnemiesAct *deportations* – renditions.

An Immigrant Held in #US Custody ‘Simply Disappeared’
The #Venezuelan man did not appear on a list of people sent to a prison in #ElSalvador, & his family & friends had no idea of his whereabouts.

The #Trump admin’s hurried effort to deport more alleged Venezuelan gang members under the rarely used #AlienEnemiesAct is in defiance of a #SCOTUS order that detainees must be given "reasonable time" to combat the allegations against them, acc/to a court filing obtained by NBC News.

WOW
Judge Wilkinson writes,
"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."
Beautiful.
Man, #DHS General Counsel Joe Mazzara is so screwed. He’s going to be their fall guy. Though of course Trump will pardon him. But still, he’s signed “under penalty of perjury” several of these affidavits. He better be disbarred.
New from Judge #Xinis’ docket:
The #Trump #DOJ court ordered daily update on #KilmarAbregoGarcia says that it has “no further updates” on their efforts to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.
Yeah. We know. Listen to Senator #VanHollen’s statement, you jagoffs didn’t even ask the US embassy in #ElSalvador TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!
The #Trump admin continues spreading #disinformation & #lies about #KilmarAbregoGarcia.
Here is an example that illustrates #TimothySnyder’s point about language & dehumanization perfectly from the official social media account of the #UnitedStates Department of Homeland Security:
