In reply to the discussion: Judge in Abrego Garcia case tells DOJ she has "no tolerance for gamesmanship" [View all]slightlv
(5,695 posts)And I've wondered before, but never thought to ask while I've been replying anywhere... on what grounds is it okay to disappear a person, through legal or extralegal means either one, to a foreign country's prison? Have we ever done this before... and I'm purposely not counting Guantanamo here because that part of the island is supposedly ours as leased. Isn't what he is doing, from top to bottom, illegal? "Capturing" these people... even setting up traps to trick them... is kidnapping in my book. But even more than that, when did we ever just shuttle people to jail in another country as standard behavior?
Would the "average Joe" off the street be counted as not having standing to file a case? I know no one will, and there are people higher up pursuing these avenues. But, I'm just wondering, since trump is using OUR tax dollars to do all this kidnapping and out of country prisons, wouldn't we necessarily have standing? My personal opinion is that we should be granted standing, but in this court system, it would be dismissed out of hand. As you can see, I've lost any hope I ever had toward justice in this country.
