Stephen Miller, a top aide, repeated a justification used in the immigration crackdown: that the country is fighting an invasion. But it is unclear if the president has the power to take such a step.

If “migrants” have no right to appeal to the courts, citizens don’t really have the ability to either.

      Are the immigrants the whit…I mean RIGHT skin color?? Cause this administration is filled to the brim with stable geniuses who are ✨ magically ✨ able to tell who is legal and who isn’t. We should tottaaaaalllly trust their judgement without question, they just want what’s best for the country, with absolutely NO ulterior motives.

    “Oh he’d never do that to real Americans…”

    Meanwhile, the leopards are waiting.

    I doubt this administration is going to stop pushing it’s lawlessness unless there is push back with consequences. Throw Stephen Miller into a CIA black site and watch how fast this crazy shit stops.

      Stephen Miller? The migrant? Yeah, sounds good. I heard he crossed the Darien Gap by eating five toddlers as rations.

    *Trying to suspend

    The headline is not doing constitutional democracy and the rule of law any favors by making casual readers think they have that power, which (sorry to be all technical, NYT) they do not have.

      (sorry to be all technical, NYT)

      No reason to apologize. The NYT routinely do it on purpose, especially when it comes to cops and Israel.

    detained illegal immigrants

    FTFY NY Times.

    It’s also a lie. They’re not “trying to”, they said that it is something that they might consider. It has been done 4 times before too.

      This administration has repeatedly shown not to care about the status or criminal history of any non-US-born person. Also, they have revoked the status of legal migrants to be able to call them “illegal migrants” directly after, despite them doing everything correctly and being in America legally until the rug was pulled out from under them.

      And aside from all of that, why are we okay with the government even thinking of doing this to anybody??? That should be a major red flag even as something they are considering. But based on their previous actions, it’s definitely something they want to do, which is even worse

      EDIT: Just realized your username is “freedom advocate”. You of all people should be against this.

        I want to add that the people in charge of these policies have repeatedly made statements showing that their true feelings/intent aren’t about legal/illegal status:

        • Stephen Miller said in public that the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia (whose deportation to a modern day concentration camp was, by their own admission, an “administrative error”) actually said the opposite of what it did. He’s made a lot of off-hand statements about migrants, usually to avoid mentioning their legal status, to the tune of “they don’t look like you” or “you wouldn’t want him as your neighbor” which is literally just racism.
        • Tom Homan “border czar” said in an interview that to prevent family separation, they can just deport the whole family.
        • Kristi Noem has made few appearances but each time it seems like she’s “cruelty is the point” personified. For instance, she recently did a photo op at CECOT with prisoners behind her with the classic “this is what you get if you come here illegally” speech. But to me the worst part is when, totally unforced, she wrote in her book about how she killed her puppy with a bullet to the head because it wasn’t keen on killing animals on its first hunting trip and wanted to play instead. When asked about it, she said that “that’s just what you do on the farm” and started listing other animals she’d killed for mild annoyances.

        These people are psychopaths. They saw it’s easy to suck up to Trump and convince him to support their ideas in exchange for treating him like dear leader. I maintain that Trump is the only one in that admin who isn’t a soulless demon, but he’s so easy to flatter.

        Why are we ok with it? No one said they’re ok with it. I was simply commenting on the lies the NYT are spreading.

              No, this isn’t an agree to disagree situation. You are factually wrong, the NYT is correct. Stop spreading misinformation or fuck off.

                The NYT is factually wrong.

                They aren’t “trying to” do what the NYT says they are, the actual quote in the article even proves that. They said it’s something that they might consider. Those are not the same things.

                If they were “trying to” they would have begun proceedings to do it. Have they? No.

                Stop spreading misinformation

                Oh the irony.

                  The article says they are considering it. I have no idea what your complaint even is. And I already debunked your lies that only undocumented people are being abducted. So you are full of shit and everyone can see that.
