It is… "fascinating" (for lack of a better word) how much of #DonTheCon's policies AND popular support is drawn from #racism.

Think of all the #DayOne promises he made & failed to achieve: Bring prices down, end the war in #Ukraine, retrieve the hostages in #Gaza… etc & so on.

"Round up gang members & terrorists and #deport them" became: going after the low-hanging fruit of UNAdjudicated migrants already in jail & foreign-born protesters on college campuses.

AND THEY DON'T CARE.

#Trump Admin #Illegally Prepares to #Deport More #Immigrants Under Wartime #Law

Govt notified #Venezuelan men in #custody that they are at imminent risk of #deportation, illegally stepping up use of #AlienEnemiesAct

Firsthand accounts, along w/ court documents & flight tracking data, reveal the admin’s calculated race to send alleged *gang members* to #ElSalvador before a court can halt their plans.

#SupremeCourt Allows #Trump to Use 1798 Wartime Law to #Deport People

The nation's highest court backed Trump's use of the #AlienEnemiesAct to speed up #deportations

by Charisma Madarang, April 8, 2025

"The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a massive win on Monday, voting 5-4 to allow his administration to continue rapidly deporting alleged gang members using the Alien Enemies Act.
The law, passed in 1798, gives presidents the authority to remove foreign nationals over the age of 14 from countries where the United States is either engaged in a declared war or subject to “invasion or predatory incursion” by their country of origin. The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations.
In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, known for human rights abuses.

"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '#habeas petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained.

"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice #AmyConeyBarrett, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented. Barrett joined Justice #SoniaSotomayor’s dissent calling the majority’s legal conclusion 'suspect' and questioning if habeas claims should be the only way to contest deportations under the act.

"'The Court’s legal conclusion is suspect,' wrote #Sotomayor. 'The Court intervenes anyway, granting the Government extraordinary relief and vacating the District Court’s order on that basis alone.'"

#Trump Is Trying to #Deport #Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been Convicted

It began with #MahmoudKhalil. Now Trump is trying to deport students by vaguely claiming they have criminal records.

Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime.

One's "criminal record"? — Being a #DomesticViolence victim [#survivor].

Zeteo · Trump Is Trying to Deport Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been ConvictedBy Prem Thakker

The #IRS has agreed to help #DHS ofcls find #immigrants they are trying to #deport, acc/to court records, committing to sharing information in what would be a fundamental change in how the tax collector uses its tightly regulated records.

In the filing, the #Trump admin said that the IRS & #ICE had reached the agreement on Monday & that the 2 agencies had not yet shared any info.

I just had to turn off #FoxnewSunday.

#Bondi is insisting the man who was #deported that isn't a gang member and "must be returned by midnight tomorrow" IS in fact an #MS13 gang member, and "just b/c he was studying to be an electrician doesn't wipe clean his past record."

#JFC! We have an #AG that DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE #CONSTITUTION! YOU CAN NOT SIMPLY DECLARE A PERSON GUILTY & #DEPORT THEM w/o benefit of #DUEPROCESS! You don't even have to be a citizen. If you're on U.S. soil, you get DP! 🤬

"The head of the nation’s leading organization fighting #antisemitism questioned the #Trump administration’s aggressive effort to find and deport foreign students who have protested on behalf of #Palestinians, suggesting that the administration is betraying #American values, denying due process and punishing people for their views rather than their actions.

In pulling #student #visas and seeking to #deport #protesters who hold #greencards, the administration has failed to ensure due process that is central to America’s justice system, wrote Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive and national director of the #AntiDefamationLeague [#ADL]."

"So we have a contradiction. We basically have the #Constitution that says everyone, persons in the #UnitedStates have due process rights, have the #BillofRights on their side, but we also have law that has been in power for 200 years saying, oh, well, except for when the president wants to #deport people. So these are in conflict. There will have to be some decision making."

#Trump is seeking to #deport another #academic who is legally in the country

Badar Khan Suri, a fellow at #Georgetown, says he is being punished because of the suspected views of his wife, a US #citizen w/ #Palestinian heritage.
Hooded #ICE agents snatched the India-born Georgetown postdoc #BadarSuri from Rosslyn street Mon, per the court filing. Like #MahmoudKhalil, Suri was subject to #MarcoRubio’s 'foreign policy' power, atty says.
