Couple this with Trump’s remarks in the same press conference about denaturalizing Mamdani over political views and creating a system of detention centers. Trump is envisioning concentration camps across the country holding Americans stripped of citizenship as “foreigners” subject to disappearance.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Trump just floated deporting people who were born in the U.S. — saying many criminals "were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here, too, you want to know the truth, so maybe that'll be the next job that we'll work on together."

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

No government plates, no badges, no warrant, no identification, no words…Just guys in sunglasses and tactical vests with the threat of grabbing people off the street.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · last yr.

Arguments in the birthright citizenship case made clear Trump wants nationwide injunctions gone so he can nullify Americans’ constitutional rights more easily. Whatever other issues you might have with them, that’s the bottom line here www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump Is Tired of Courts Telling Him He’s Breaking the Law

Beneath the technical arguments at the Supreme Court last week was an effort to take away one of the only really effective legal tools for reining in the executive branch.

🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.

Last night N.M.’s attorneys were notified that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intended to remove him to South Sudan. See Exhibit 1, Declaration of Jacqueline Brown, Exhibit D (email to counsel); Exhibit E (notice provided to N.M.). N.M., a Burmese national with limited English proficiency, refused to sign the notice of removal to South Sudan which was provided to him only in English. Id. This morning, they learned from a detention officer via email that N.M. was removed this same morning to South Sudan. Exhibit F. As with the motion for temporary restraining order that Plaintiffs filed not even two weeks ago, on May 7th, Dkt. 89, and which this Court agreed ought to not be necessary, Dkt. 91 at 1, this motion should also not be required as it blatantly defies this Court’s PI to remove class members without a reasonable fear screening and a 15-day opportunity to submit a motion to reopen after any negative reasonable fear determination. Earlier this morning, class counsel received notification of a second class member, T.T.P., a national of Vietnam, who appears to have suffered the same fate as N.M., as well as information that there were likely at least 10 other class members on the plane to South Sudan. See Aldana Madrid Decl., Exhibit A.

NEW filing: The Trump administration is trying to deport two people to South Sudan, attorneys in a Massachusetts case against DHS say. They're asking the judge for an emergency order blocking the removals storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
