Keep telling us this isn't a dictatorship. Don't try telling me that it is just for illegal immigrants. There is no invasion of this country going on right now. Anyone saying so is not speaking the truth. We are not at war, there are no invading armies approaching any of our borders. Stephen Miler needs to be institutionalized.

Trump Officials Consider Suspending Habeas Corpus for Detained Migrants​

Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff who orchestrated President Trump’s crackdown on immigration, said on Friday that the administration was considering suspending immigrants’ right to challenge their detention in court before being deported.

“The Constitution is clear,” he told reporters outside the White House, arguing that the right, known as a writ of habeas corpus, “could be suspended in time of invasion.”

“That’s an option we’re actively looking at,” he said, adding, “A lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.”

Such a move would represent a dramatic escalation in the Trump administration’s battles with the courts over his efforts to carry out mass deportations. And it would be yet another sweeping assertion of executive authority, one in tension with a right generally guaranteed in the Constitution.

As with many of Mr. Trump’s assertions of power, it was unclear whether he could lawfully do it.

Article I of the Constitution says writs of habeas corpus are a privilege that “shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” That direction “is almost universally understood to authorize only Congress to suspend habeas corpus,” said Stephen I. Vladeck, a law professor at Georgetown University.

“The only reason why they would do this is because they’re losing” in court, he added.

Habeas corpus has been suspended four times in the history of the United States, most recently in Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Each time, authorities cited specific congressional statutes to justify the move, with the exception of one president: Abraham Lincoln, who suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War, while Congress was not in session. His move was challenged, and in 1863, Congress passed a law giving him the explicit right to suspend habeas corpus for the duration of the hostilities.

Mr. Trump and his deputies have repeatedly tried to liken their crackdown on illegal immigration to a war or repelling an invasion. He has referred in speeches to waves of migrants entering the United States as invasions, and in March invoked the Alien Enemies Act — another wartime authority — to accelerate the deportations of Venezuelans accused of being members of the gang Tren de Aragua.

But deportations carried out under that law have been challenged in court, and the Supreme Court has blocked any further deportations under that law for now. In addition, three federal judges have in recent weeks issued rulings rejecting the argument that the wave of immigration constitutes an invasion, as Mr. Miller maintained.

Excellent idea.
Ramp up the deportations!

From the number of armed attacks, the invaders have plenty of weapons.

FALSE!
ABSOLUTELY thus is INVASION, and the US AT WAR even more so than World War 2 against Germany & Japan, neither of whom invaded us, and occupied territory inside the US.

Tren de Aragua (TdA) is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, many of whom have unlawfully infiltrated the United States and are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States. TdA operates in conjunction with Cártel de los Soles, the Nicolas Maduro regime-sponsored, narco-terrorism enterprise based in Venezuela.

TdA is closely aligned with, and indeed has infiltrated, the Maduro regime, including its military and law enforcement apparatus. TdA grew significantly while Tareck El Aissami served as governor of Aragua between 2012 and 2017. In 2017, El Aissami was appointed as Vice President of Venezuela. Soon thereafter, the United States Department of the Treasury designated El Aissami as a Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, 21 U.S.C. 1901 et seq. El Aissami is currently a United States fugitive facing charges arising from his violations of United States sanctions triggered by his Department of the Treasury designation.

Like El Aissami, Nicolas Maduro, who claims to act as Venezuela’s President and asserts control over the security forces and other authorities in Venezuela, also maintains close ties to regime-sponsored narco-terrorists. Maduro leads the regime-sponsored enterprise Cártel de los Soles, which coordinates with and relies on TdA and other organizations to carry out its objective of using illegal narcotics as a weapon to “flood” the United States. In 2020, Maduro and other regime members were charged with narcoterrorism and other crimes in connection with this plot against America.

TOTAL INVASION

Trump continues to advance his fascist agenda; the fascist right attempts to defend the indefensible.

 

[TimFitz]

Excellent idea.
Ramp up the deportations!

Until they come for you.

 

[TimFitz]

Just think of courtroom fights

Battles that will need to be fought hard if we ate going to save America from Nazi thugs like Miller and Trash Patel (not to mention Trump).

 

[TimFitz]

It may not be a war, but probably 30M illegals IS an invasion

The numbers change with every right wing post.

 

[dblack]

So we list a few civil rights. We weren't really using the them anyway.

 

[Hellokitty]

This is not an invasion, and that will not change no matter how many times the Orange Hob-goblin and his oompah-loompahs claim it is.

Biden let in millions of unvetted immigrants.

 

[Crepitus]

Biden let in millions of unvetted immigrants.

Haven't I already laughed at you once for saying that?

 

[0311]

Biden let in millions of unvetted immigrants.

Post all the evidence have on this conjecture, contention, hearsay, inuendo and supposition. YOU are lying MAGA MAGGOT. You propaganda lies don't fly.

30 million illegals;s didn't come here, and even if that were true, that is not an invasion.

The figure of "11 million" has been cited fkr many years. It's at LEAST 20M by now, probably creeping toward 30M

Even at 20M, yes it's an invasion. 20M people crossing into your country illegally is an invasion.
