"In Baltimore, #ICE is arresting people so quickly it can’t transfer them out fast enough, forcing ppl to stay in squalid cells for days; cells designed only for a short stay under 12 hrs.💔No beds. No bathroom privacy. No showers.

Here’s what one grandmother experienced."
-A Reichlin-Melnick

The conditions in which undocumented #immigrants are held are starting to rival CECOT in SLV. Most of these ppl held in det are NONCRIMINALS.

"It’s time we all acknowledge that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, led by Justice Roberts, is a complicit actor in Donald Trump and MAGA’s authoritarian agenda."

"As with the immunity decision, the Court is only inviting more lawless behavior—but this time, that behavior is happening in and before federal courts and in full view of the American public."

"If the Supreme Court fails to address the Trump Administration’s lawless behavior throughout these proceedings, and if this decision deprives the DC Court of any jurisdiction over the obvious contempt of court that occurred, then Roberts and company have dealt a devastating blow to the rule of law generally."

Rewarding Lawless Behavior: The Alien Enemies Act Decision

The Court's Decision, Its Consequences...And the Chilling,…

"Leavitt’s remarks came just one day after Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the Trump administration’s position in the Alien Enemies Act case means even a U.S. citizen would have no legal recourse if secretly swept up and rendered to a foreign prison."

"But it was the casualness and assuredness with which the White House press secretary confirmed from the briefing room podium that the president has both publicly and privately considering transferring U.S. citizens convicted of crimes to El Salvador that set off alarm bells."

"Over the weekend, President Trump responded favorably to the suggestion from the president of El Salvador that he could house U.S. prisoners in his notorious prisons: 'I love that,' Trump told reporters on Air Force One."

"If the government can disappear anyone it wishes, dump him in a Salvadoran dungeon and prevent any court in this country from providing relief, we all should be very, very afraid."

William Lindsey :toad:

"Why hasn’t the Trump administration acted to secure Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release? After all, he is there because of a government screw-up.

The answer can only be that it is using this case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop the Trump administration from imprisoning anyone it wants anywhere else in the world."

Don't forget who's defending this: "pro-life" Catholics are doing so. And don't listen to the spin of those who want to keep pretending that the Roberts Supreme Court has not anointed Trump a quasi-king and will overturn every precedent and invent every legal loophole to allow him to continue trampling on people's rights and lives.

And now that same "pro-life" Supreme Court dominated by a bloc of right-wing Catholics is going to bat for Trump as he and Musk remove thousands of workers from jobs, from livelihoods, from wages to pay bills, pay for housing, put food on the table, provide healthcare coverage for themselves and family members, etc.

The treatment being afforded to immigrants who are, it appears, innocent but are being shipped to lethal foreign prisons contradicts Catholic "pro-life" values in the grossest way possible.

William Lindsey :toad:

Something we shouldn't allow ourselves to forget or unsee as the Roberts Supreme Court invents legal fictions to provide cover for Donald Trump as he rounds up and deports immigrants who are afforded no due process:

The Roberts Supreme Court is controlled by a bloc of right-wing "pro-life" Catholics, Roberts himself included in their number.

"Late Monday night, the Supreme Court issued two rulings that together connote such gratuitous cruelty that it is difficult to comprehend what could be going on in the minds of the far-right justices in the majority."

William Lindsey :toad:

"The court will allow the administration to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to remove immigrants, even though the US is not at war, and gangs are not a country, and there’s no evidence that the five men who are suing, or any of the nearly 300 deported men, were in the Tren de Aragua gang that the administration claims to be at war with, or any other gang."

"Instead, the reactionary majority of the Supreme Court fabricated a way to reverse decisions by lower courts that effectively found that Trump was acting unlawfully."

William Lindsey :toad:

"The Supreme Court had two opportunities on Monday to stop Trump's lawless actions in seizing and deporting migrants before granting them due process and judicial review. In two related but separate cases, the Court looked past the fact that Trump is operating outside the law and in contravention of the Constitution."
