The point is...Kilmer Garcia, among others, were sent to a prison! They were not just deported!

The Constitution is very clear that "No person shall be denied liberty without due process".

The assholes complaining that due process will take too much time when deporting people are totally avoiding the point that Garcia, and others, were not just deported.

I don't hear enough Democrats making this point.

This rogue administration should be held accountable for these kidnappings. Bondi, Noem, Homan, all should be arrested and charged with these crimes if we ever get a non-criminal run DOJ again. Krasnov too if he wasn’t immuned, but he should be charged anyway and make him plead immunity.

The DOJ should be removed from the executive branch and placed under the judiciary branch if we ever get the chance. Krasnov and Bondi have clearly shown that the President should not be allowed to pick the AG so they can gang up on the rest of the country doing unlawful and corrupt acts.

in my opinion the main point is that he was denied due process. And the secondary point is that the executive branch is refusing to comply with a direct order from the judicial branch.

I think that these two conditions lay the foundation for Trump to become a dictator. And I'm not being hyperbolic.

and various legal and public safety institutions.

It's all bad!

Also, for now the courts are dealing with this issue and there's really not much Dems can do about it.

They ignored rulings from the US Supreme Court, which is majority GOP.
