NEW YORK TIMES

 


According to liberal and conservative judges all the way up to the Supreme Court, President Trump’s administration broke the rules by deporting Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia and must try to fix the mistake. But Mr. Trump and his team are trying to rewrite the narrative so that it is a dispute about illegal immigration rather than the rule of law.







In an emergency filing, lawyers had asked the justices to stop the deportations.

The Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration early Saturday from deporting another group of Venezuelan migrants accused of being gang members under the expansive powers of a rarely invoked wartime law.

“The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court,” the court said in a brief, unsigned order that gave no reasoning, as is typical in emergency cases.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented. The White House did not issue any immediate response.

More than 50 Venezuelans were scheduled to be flown out of the country — presumably to El Salvador — from an immigration detention center in Anson, Texas, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. The A.C.L.U. in recent days had already secured court orders barring similar deportations under the law, the Alien Enemies Act, in other places including New York, Denver and Brownsville, Texas.

The "rule of law" for illegals is different. Learn to live with it.

You. Are. Wrong.

"Due process rights apply to non-citizens within the United States, regardless of their legal status. The Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments protects all individuals within the U.S. from government actions that deprive them of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This means non-citizens, including those who are undocumented, have the right to a fair hearing and legal proceedings before being subject to government actions that affect their lives, liberty, or property."

Show us the US Constitutional amendment where it says your insistence that due process is different for illegals exists.




Constitutional Protection:
The U.S. Constitution guarantees due process rights to all individuals within its jurisdiction, regardless of citizenship status.
Fair Legal Procedures:
Due process ensures that individuals are treated fairly by the government in legal matters, including having the right to a fair hearing, notice of charges, and the ability to present evidence and argue their case.
Examples:
This includes the right to due process in deportation proceedings, the right to challenge unlawful detention, and the right to be treated fairly in all legal matters.
Undocumented Immigrants:
Even undocumented immigrants are entitled to due process protections, as they are still "persons" within the meaning of the Constitution.
Extent of Protection:
While the extent of due process protection may vary based on an individual's circumstances and legal status, it generally applies to all individuals within the U.S.

The right in America is beginning to look a lot like the Nazis of Germany.

And now, we WON'T live with it.

He is the poster boy for joey b's open border policy. He is a human trafficker, beat his wife on at least two occasions, was a member of a criminal gang. Now he is supposed to be allowed to reenter the US so we can spend millions then kick him out. Chances are he won't vote is allowed to so he will not help the democrat party and how can the US demand he be released.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Because, unlike you & other shameful Americans, we believe in the Constitution’s guarantee of due process FOR ALL PERSONS. How quickly & easily some Americans want to break that law, but are adamant about the 2nd Amendment. Hypocrites! ,

The story is and always has been the FOTUS admin's failure to follow laws already on the books. Apparently according to our resident trolls The Law only applies when they say it applies. HA! Fortunately they are not the judge charged with adjudicating this case.

The lack of intelligence needed to believe the rules aren't the rules is astounding. I notice none of our trolls have provided a statute, clause, paragraph, anything to back up their ridiculous assertions; only their opinions which stink!

As you say Shaw and I agree with, the trolls pick and choose the Amendments they want to follow. Isn't it too bad for them that that's not how life works.

Hypocrites, the lot of them. Won't shame one of them because they have no shame. No morals. How do I know? skud keeps blaming Biden for an "open border" even though there could have been a border bill. Where is their outrage that there was a bipartisan solution (heavily weighted towards the GOP punch list) only it was killed by the FOTUS? Haven't heard ONE word condemning the GOP for negotiating in bad faith. Not one, skud, and anything you say after my comment posts will be too little, too late.

This fight isn't left/right, GOP/Democratic Party. This fight is do you believe in and defend our Constitution and Bill of Rights**, the foundation of our country or don't you? As much as I'm grey on most things, this is as binary as it gets.

**I'm not saying the Constitution is perfect as is, I'm saying it's the documents we have here/now that are in effect here/now and either you defend them or you don't. You want to change them? Fine. Go through the process like everyone else. Don't want to take the time? Then by your actions shall you be known.

Grey, One slipped through the cracks and there is an uproar. Doesn't matter that he was a wife beating gang member who has participated in human trafficking because the dems have proven their support of women is just rhetoric. If they supported women they would be against open borders allowing sex trafficking and men beating up women in sports.

The border bill you reference was a joke that solved nothing which most bills do, solve nothing. We're going to shut the border down but only after 5000 per day have crossed. Of course mumbles said he didn't have the authority to do anything about the open border, Guess that was another lie because look what happened.
I don't know if garcia is a gang member or what crimes he has committed and neither do you. There should have been a better vetting process and hopefully there will be in the future but instead of looking for a solution our elected elite are just looking to place blame.

And you don't?
LOL!

Well skud, that's one way to look at it.

Your lack of compassion for a person denied due process rings of history ala all those good citizens who watched the trains enter the camps, saw the prisoners, smelled the smoke and ignored it because it wasn't "people" being killed, just vermin. (history note skud - they were wholesale killing people, millions of people but based on the philosophy you've shared with us here you are fine with genocide)

Your slams against Biden indicate your Biden Derangement Syndrome is still enflamed, you might want to make sure you get your meds applied.

Your attack against a disability rings of the FOTUS of which you SAY you don't like except for the fact that you are matching your words and actions with theirs means you could be twins.

You bring up the young lady Laken Riley who was murdered, a horrific crime which no one on the left is celebrating but you sure seem to be holding her up high not as a person but as a cause. How very propagandist of you. Do you have permission from her family to use her as your political football?

Instead of holding Laken's killer personally responsible you decide that all migrants are the same by painting them all with the brush of a murderer even though you lie and vilify humans for crimes they did not commit. Yeah, I'm testy about this because you know better skud because just about all the factual commentators here have take the time to educate you with facts and yet you constantly leave a steaming pile of crap with every lie you spew.

And you've done all this on the Christian holy day of redemption and love. How NatC of you skud.
