Trump and the Supreme Court Have Ended Due Process

Trump and a Supreme Court that has given him too much power have ended due process as we know it. Secret police can now decide on their own to disappear people and not have to answer to a judge. Will you be next?

The United States is a nation in distress.

Trump hosted authoritarian President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador today, and both men joked in front of the media and the world about how they would not be returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador concentration camp. This is in defiance of an albeit weak ruling (but a ruling nonetheless) from the Supreme Court last week for Trump to "facilitate" exactly that, and continues the White House's pattern of treating the federal judiciary with outright contempt. Trump's behavior again confirms his belief that Kilmar, like hundreds of others like him, was unworthy of due process and is now dead to constitutional rights granted to everyone in the United States. And Trump wants to go after the "homegrowns" next.

Trump Hosts Dictator Imprisoning 179 Immigrants with No Criminal Record

Trump illegally deported over 200 immigrants to an El Salvador concentration camp on March 15th, and at least 179 of them had no criminal record and were denied due process. He has proposed sending American citizens to the same place.

On Monday, Donald Trump is hosting El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, who is a dictator ruling his country using emergency powers and someone Trump wants to emulate. This ominous visit occurs at a time when Trump is ignoring a Supreme Court ruling that directed him to return one of the over 200 immigrants Trump illegally deported to a notorious concentration camp in El Salvador by misusing a 1798 war powers act. At least 179 of the  men sent to CECOT prison on March 15th have no criminal record and were stripped of both their due process rights and human dignity. Trump has already suggested doing the same to American citizens.

Trump Refuses to Return Man Illegally Deported to El Salvador

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Maryland husband and father, was illegally deported to a notorious concentration camp in El Salvador on March 15th with hundreds of other immigrants who were denied due process. This was despite the fact he is a legal resident and had a 2019 protection order barring his deportation to his home country of El Salvador due to the risk of serious personal harm by gangs there. Even so, after admitting they made a mistake, the cruel and incompetent Trump regime has immediately appealed a federal judge's ruling that Kilmar must be returned to the United States by April 7th at 11:59 pm. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt even released a statement seemingly mocking the ruling and claiming the judge had no authority to issue it.
