Deported From Europe, Murdered by Israel
Gazan brothers Haytham and Bashar spent most of their adult lives in Europe — but after being deported, they returned to Gaza, where they were killed by an Israeli rocket. Their story shows the deadly nature of Europe’s growing anti-refugee policies.

Notice he does not address the issue of due process. Rather, he says that the US has plenty of prisons and can even build more. And if those aren’t enough, they can send people somewhere else (where of course, the US would run the prisons ;)

The #DOJ submitted its declaration to Judge Xinis. #ICE official Joe Mazzara says that if #KilmarAbregoGarcia *presented* [magically?] at a US port of entry today, #DHS would detain him, "remove him to a third country" or end the block on his #deportation & ship him back to #ElSalvador.

So that is what they’re claiming now is the reason for why they won’t facilitate bringing him back to the #UnitedStates.
#Trump admin's case against #MahmoudKhalil is shaky & reliant on #tabloid accounts, review of evidence shows
Khalil, a permanent #US resident who helped lead pro-#Palestinian #protests, was finished w/postgraduate studies when he was arrested on #ColumbiaUniversity campus & scheduled for #deportation.

President Donald Trump reiterated that he’d like to send U.S. citizens who commit violent crimes to prison in El Salvador.
@AssociatedPress explains why this is most likely illegal: https://flip.it/amESS4
Travelling to the US
Irish passengers travelling to the US are being warned to delete social media apps from their devices if they have been openly critical of President Trump online.
I would suggest that anything published that is not viruently pro MAGA is likely to be of cobncern. Much better just to not bother travelling to the US at all, you know it makes sense.
Trump told Bukele he needs to build five more prisons to hold the "home grown" offenders.
Let's be clear: Trump is asking El Salvador to build concentration camp for his political prisoners.
When Donald Trump finally loses his stranglehold on America it’s heartening to know that he, Musk and everyone else involved in the destruction of American institutions can be deported to foreign prisons without due process by using Trump’s own executive orders.
"Home-growns are next": Trump proposes sending US citizens to El Salvador prisons
"Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places,” he said. "It’s not big enough."
People are being rounded up
- for their political views and affiliations
- based on tattoos
- based on assumed ethnicities
- based on presumed immigration status
And today Trump confided to a dictator that he intends to send citizens to a foreign prison.
Now that we know that Trump assumes he can ignore due process, and the courts, and send people to a foreign concentration camp, individual rights are no longer assured in the US.
Congress Has Demanded Answers to ICE Detaining Americans. The Administration Has Responded With Silence.
—
Amid increasing reports that U.S. citizens have been caught up in the Trump administration’s immigration dragnet, a dozen members of Congress have written to the government with pointed questions. None has received a reply.

Legal analysts say a key difference between the 2 authorities at Rubio’s disposal is that the original one “requires a rationale & explanation and evidence,” said Soulmaz Taghavi, an #immigration atty. But the authority ultimately used for Ozturk’s #deportation does not.
“There’s a chain of communication that gets passed along to the attorney general, but there isn’t any requirement to justify or rationalize what exactly the removal” is based on, Taghavi said.
The memo, written by an office within the #State Dept, raises doubts about the public accusations made by the #Trump administration as it has sought to justify #RumeysaOzturk’s #deportation. The #DHS has said Ozturk engaged in activities “in support of Hamas,” a #US - designated terrorist organization, but neither that agency nor US prosecutors have provided evidence for that claim.
UPDATE: After this story was prepared for publication, ICE awarded a new contract worth up to $3.8 billion for this company to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss — its largest contract yet.
It's the first time ICE is moving ahead with plans to detain thousands of people arrested on U.S. military bases in tents before deportation.

#DHS, meanwhile, at first made less intrusive requests….Agents spent much of Feb & March trawling through years of records in E-Verify…to identify potentially fraudulent #SocialSecurity numbers…. Agents then reached out to Social Security asking for help preventing this type of fraud….
DHS also requested that SSA staff turn over the addresses of undocumented immigrants so #ICE could track them down for #deportation….
Report: "US judge rules Mahmoud Khalil can be deported for his views", agreeing with Trump that Khalil’s ‘beliefs & associations’ are counter to US foreign policy interests"
"If Mahmoud can be targeted in this way, simply for speaking out for Palestinians & exercising his constitutionally protected right to free speech, this can happen to anyone over any issue the Trump administration dislikes."
