“‘Instead of hastening to correct its egregious error, the Government dismissed it as an 'oversight,’ she wrote. ‘The Government's argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.’”

Supreme Court delivers a decisive verdict on deportation! The Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, incorrectly deported to El Salvador due to an "administrative error." Despite allegations of gang affiliation, Garcia had legal protections against deportation. This ruling highlights critical issues surrounding deportations and the rights of individuals facing persecution.

From the letter Rubio wrote re: Mahmoud Khalil;

"...for cases in which the basis for this determination is the alien's past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations that are otherwise lawful..."

Expected beliefs. EXPECTED BELIEFS. Not actual beliefs (which would still be bullshit) but just what Lil' Marco expects someone to believe. I'm sure that expectation won't be based on any sort of race/religion-led biases...

The head of #ICE said he'd like the agency to implement a system of trucks that rounds up #immigrants for deportation in a system similar to how Amazon delivers pkgs.

“We need to get better at treating this like a bus,” the acting Ice dir, T Lyons, said. He said that he wanted to see a deportation process “like Amazon Prime, but with human beings”
