Brown University Professor Deported Despite Valid Visa And Judge's Order
Brown University Professor Deported Despite Valid Visa And Judge's Order
A representative for Customs and Border Protection told HuffPost, "Arriving aliens bear the burden of establishing admissibility to the United States."
Let me break this down:
Openly defying court orders multiple times= dictatorship Threatening to jail political opponents despite them being pardoned= dictatorship Deporting American citizens who have legal citizenship= dictatorship Can’t put it any simpler.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is happening again and again: judges rule that deportations are illegal, then Trump's people just kidnap the victim and deport them anyway. A whole lot of people were just deported to a prison in a foreign country whose government has said they will never be released. They will be slave labor for a foreign country until they die, and there was no trial, no due process, no evidence presented for their being guilty of any crime. It's just the US government kidnapping people and trafficking them into slavery abroad, completely ignoring its own judicial system. The USA is already a dictatorship, and it only took a few weeks.
It’s time for armed resistance
If these unjust and illegal actions can't be stopped through elections, politicians or courts, it does seem the only ways to stop them would involve physically obstructing them.
Anyone have a good source on the illegal kidnappings and the prison that won’t release people? I’ve been trying not to follow US politics but goddamn clearly I need to when they’re up to this shit already
NPR, the source that floofloof linked above, is a pretty solid news source. The article linked discusses the mega-prison in El Salvador.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but which link do you mean? I’ve checked every comment in this thread and not seen any NPR links (also checked floofloof’s recent comment history and didn’t spot any), and I’m questioning my sanity 😭
I’ve read the article attached to this thread and this is the first I’ve seen El Salvador mentioned, so thanks since that at least gives me something to search lol
One of the sentences in my previous comment was the link. Here's the URL:
Thanks! This is how the comment looks on my end (voyager app):
Is this the wrong comment or is voyager tripping?
Edit: I was expecting to be horrified, but holy fuck reading the article you were referencing still shocked me. The fact that prison exists at all is genuinely sickening, let alone that people were kidnapped and sent there across country lines without trials or evidence. Thanks again for providing the link a second time, but I think I’ve had enough internet for today now lmao
It seems Voyager is failing to highlight the link text. I just use the regular web interface and it looks like this:
It usually includes the link below the comment text as an attachment, as well as highlighting, but it seems to have missed that there’s a link at all (the text isn’t clickable either). I’ll try to remember to file a bug report later, thanks!
It’s not a voyager issue, it’s a Lemmy issue, the link didn’t federate for whatever reason. Maybe an edit that op made to add a link didn’t federate, I’m not sure. You can check by the opening the comment with Lemmy-ui on Lemmy.ca vs lemmy.world.
Wow speak of the devil lmao
I woulda checked non-voyager UIs before bothering you with a bug report, but I appreciate you being this on top of things lol. Thanks for all your work on voyager!
Not a stupid question at all! It looks like others already commented the links but I'm sorry you're not seeing the link format for that sentence. Next time I'll be more helpful and link it now that I know some formatting doesn't go through for everyone (I was commenting while walking to a meeting and I meant to be helpful but I see now I could have done more!)
Sorry, I'm not from the us. Who has imprisoned them? Is this the el Salvador thing?
And if anyone doing these illegal deportations is tried, and even convicted, the president can just pardon them.
Presidential pardons are dumb and were always waiting to be abused, change my mind.
Yes, it seems like for all the USA's supposed opposition to kings, they just had to make the President the closest possible thing to an all-powerful king. Whereas countries with parliamentary systems and a Prime Minister don't have this problem, even when they technically have an actual king.
