The argument is basically that because the deportees had no due process to be deported that no due process can bring them back. The Trump administration claims that they are gang members, but provided no evidence to support this claim, and then refused to work with any members of the judicial system attempting to provide oversight. In any other administration this would be a scandal that rocks the media for months and ends with the resignation of several top officials. For the Trump administration it was Tuesday.


yeah well on thursday he shit the bed on the economy so i guess we've moved on. stupid tariffs are one thing but the extrajudicial deportation and imprisonment is quite a worse thing if unchecked.


They’re still in court. The judge today set a deadline of April 7 for the specific guy “accidentally” deported to return to the US, and seems like there may even be people held in contempt of court (can’t tell how much that’s wishful thinking on my part).

Doesn’t fix everyone else who is there, but ugh.


Comfortably wealthy US citizens aren't personally affected by these extrajudicial disappearances. It's just a headline to them. The stock market, on the other hand...


It’s classic narcissist behavior - get caught with their pants down somewhere? Set somewhere else on fire so you get distracted.
