DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.

This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

Eight Policy Principles to Guide our Relationship with Digital Technology Policies have enabled cars and airplanes to be used safely. No such policies exist for social media or AI. Progress is being made to fix this gap—beginning with protecting our kids.

Just as we need to design roads to limit harm, we must legislate rules to stop the social harms caused by digital technology. @iyerland.bsky.social nails it: www.afterbabel.com/p/eight-poli...

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

this is why shipping migrants to third party countries is inherently a due process violation. it very literally removes them from the realm of legal process entirely.

If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

Trump is already behaving like a dictator. This case is designed to silence anyone who challenges this administration. If Mahmoud Khalil is deported, that precedent will take the United States down a very dark and dangerous road.

This is dystopian. The govt does not even allege this woman played a major role in the pro-Palestine protests, like Khalil did. And yet they're trying to expel her to South Korea, where she hasn't lived since she was 7.

I don't see how anyone can defend this. It's un-American.

I continue to be extremely dismayed by the number of people who say they passionately support the First Amendment, only to throw that out the window the moment they find expression they dislike. That is not how this is supposed to work.

When a government can send people to a hellish foreign jail without telling anyone who they are or what evidence they have - what stops them from taking you and me? There is no process or transparency. There isn’t even a list of all the people taken.

The Trump administration is insisting a man they sent to an El Salvador prison is in a Venezuelan gang even though he’s a youth soccer coach and pro goalie with no criminal record and the tattoo they said was a gang tattoo is a soccer team he likes. www.dropsitenews.com/p/venezuelan...

"unlawful challenge to the federal government" - How can this phrase NOT raise alarms for freedom loving conservatives and libertarians? Is it now unlawful to challenge the federal government? didn't we fight a revolution over this?

Everyone who cares about freedom has a stake in defending the rights of all of us to not be arrested arbitrarily, but rather subject to some due process that is transparent and just. I don't know how we expect tourists to come to the US if this is even a remote possibility.

If you want to deny entry to the United States or change immigration laws, I may disagree with you, but I respect that democracies get to make such decisions. But arbitrarily imprisoning non-criminals without any due process crosses a big giant red line that should not be partisan at all.
