But that's the disturbing part... it's bad enough that it was mistaken, and the Supreme Court clearly said this was illegal... Now, they're not even trying to get him back. The ramifications to the rule of law are big, but basic right and wrong makes this story shocking to the conscience. All Trump has to do is ask, and he won't do it. That's the behavior of a monster... The USA doesn't send people to foreign gulags without proving them guilty first.

I understand your opinion about protests, and your reasons are sound. I disagree, myself, though I do concede the benefits of protests are less tangible than we tend to acknowledge. Protests let you know you're not alone, for one. They spread the message as well. Most of all, it's a subtle reminder to the government of who's truly in charge; and if enough of us are truly pissed, they'll have an issue of some sort. And lastly, I like protests cause they're American, though and through. It's all wish washy I know, but I believe in it.

Thanks Brie, appreciate the post…

Forgot about roaming MAGA trolls, arguing with cult members is a waste of time and energy.

Anyone supporting this administration is at best ignorant / selfish and at worst a Nazi / Nazi Sympathizer…period 🇺🇸

Call it whatever you want: it's disgusting behavior and wholly un-American.

The Administration is lying to your face: whatever they might say on camera, their official position *while under oath* in court, is that he was mistakenly deported.

If you don't support free speech, just say so.

If you don't support free speech, just say so.

Your position on protests is an opinion, not a fact. I have a different position.

Unfortunately, his case is not anomalous, and that's the issue; please consider the cases of Leonel Echavez, Frengel Reyes, Andry Hernandez, Jerce Reyes Barrios... Those are just the names I know off the top of my head. None convicted or charged of crimes, all rotting in a gulag. It's one thing to deport people out of the country, but this... This is next level evil behavior.
