If the facts of this case are true: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_of_Kilmar_Abrego... then this is an unthinkable crime and has to be the red line for both sides of politics.

It doesn't have to be a red line for maga. In fact, for them, the cruelty is the whole point. They want the fear and simply don't care about laws.

My wife is a naturalized citizen (and a brown one with a muslim name, at that)), and to be perfectly honest I'm no longer confident this admin won't start looking into denaturalizating people like her, for no reason except their ethnicity.

It's clear they're taking a 'the Court has written their law. Now let them enforce it.' approach, and it's not clear anybody is going to stop them.

The moment due process breaks down -- even for actual infractions of the law -- that means everyone (you and I included) has lost due process.

You should want due process for criminals because due process is how is how you can prove that you are innocent when falsely accused. There is no such thing as "due process for me, but not for thee" because one day, you might be on the "thee" end.

project 2025 has a huge crowd ready to step in. the cruelty doesn't need to stop just because the orangefuhrer isn't around. the fourth Reich is developing quite successfully.

It's beyond disgusting to me that the "News Bias meter" on the bottom of the article claims this is "unfairly" biased towards the left. Just because it doesn't reflect well towards your side doesn't mean it's biased.

I think that's just a poor UI choice. That seems to be its default position until you vote. Once you've voted for how biased you think the article is, it shows you the "Most Popular Rating" which is currently "Center/Fair".

It has more to do with OP who said "45 more months of this nonsense". Even if the current guy dies or is unable to run, there are plenty of other folks willing to carry on down the same path in his stead. 45 months might be optimistic.

Possibly 45 more months of this nonsense; kinda insane.

45 more months for the SANE part of America to try and come up with a populist candidate that will appeal to the red states. Although I fear it’s not possible to win the presidency without Russian help anymore.

In the case of illegal immigration, expedited removal [1] was established in 1997, under Clinton. It qualifies a number of different groups for immediate deportation without a hearing, including anybody who has been in the country for less than 2 years - which would include the individual in this article.
