Sasha Abramsky says the shocking truth we have to learn with the Abrego Garcia case is that America is now one vast Milgram experiment:
"In Trump’s fascist netherworld, there are a shockingly large number of Good Americans, people who seem incapable of rejecting unjust orders or understanding the moral implications of acquiescence in organized cruelty."

"That’s important for a couple of reasons. One is that Donald Trump is already sinking in the polls, but the one issue still keeping him slightly afloat—believe it or not—is immigration. About half of Americans like that he is supposedly getting tough on immigrants."

"Once the government starts returning people, they will be back in our system where they will have access to lawyers, their families, and the media. They will talk about what happened to them and the brutality of the gulag where we sent them. This will then become one of the top stories in the country."

"Perhaps more important, the administration doesn’t want to concede that a judge can order it to change that request.
They don't want to admit this, because if they bring back this one man, they will have to bring back others. Abrego Garcia is not the only one who can show he was wrongly deported and imprisoned."

Based on BP records, found that the agency had no criminal or immigration history on 77 of the 78 ppl arrested.
“BP doesn't admit to wrongdoing in the filing, but it’s also really striking that BP doesn’t defend its conduct in the filing -We know that their conduct was indefensible. The #ACLU lawsuit was filed on behalf of the UFW & those detained.
Retrained? BP will likely make sure that their agents are more secretive.

The law & democracy die in darkness: "Trump admin tells court in Alien Enemies Act case (Abrego Garcia) that it won't share information as to steps it is taking to repatriate Abrego Garcia, effectively rejecting court order. A lawless government."
-E Lee
The Trump admin’s lawlessness is only surpassed by their inhumanity. The DOJ purposefully missed the deadline in the deportation case of KA Garcia.
Lawrence is on fire tonight -
#DoJ's filing w/ #SCOTUS states the govt can "deport" (ie, render or disappear) anyone eg to the prison Trump is renting in #ElSalvador - ANYONE. That's you, me & the family down the street, regardless of what their #immigration status is or if they're a citizen or not - and moreover no one can do anything about it or make them do anything about it.
We have arrived at the 9th circle of hell.
“Social Security classifies1000s of immigrants as dead, as part of Trump crackdown.”
Inexcusable, incompetent, lawless, & racist, Trump-Musk’s regime is classifying immigrants as dead to facilitate #deportations. Musk says #DOGE is efficient & saves money bc he uses AI & young tech bros, w/o any knowledge of how govt agencies function. The richest man on earth isn’t a genius, & he’s as disingenuous, fascist, & xenophobic as #Trump.

A gay Venezuelan hair stylist was falsely labeled a gang member and sent to that #ElSalvador torture prison based on the word of a disgraced ex-cop whose credibility was so bad, "prosecutors flagged him on a list of police who had been accused of lying, breaking the law or acting in a way that erodes their credibility to testify in Milwaukee County."
This may be consequential for Judge #Boasberg’s contempt proceedings in the #Trump admin’s refusal to abide by his court order to turn around the planes & immediately stop all #AlienEnemiesAct #deportations.
In this decision. #SCOTUS unanimously rejected the argument that a district judge lacks power to order gov to facilitate return once planes leave US jdx. That was the admin’s main rationale for defying the court’s written order.
"JGG v Noem: the original Alien Enemies Act, I salute the ACLU lawyers who may’ve SAVED 5 LIVES.If not for ACLU, the 5 named plaintiffs would be languishing in CECOT
, where Bondi tried to send them w/o due process. DC US ATTY Martin, you should redirect your “1512 Project” to target the DOJ ATTYs responsible for sending 137 ppl to CECOT w/o due process. All 9 justices agreed...
"Things are so bad at the Krome IMG det cen in S FL that ppl have to take turns sleeping."

Theofficers were conditioned to view all #immigrants as criminals *justified the brutality. His fellow guards, not the detainees, were the dangerous ones “cop wannabes” -the more experienced officers
encouraged him to lock detainees in the bathroom for hours at a time, just to let them know who'd the power, & he did it.

"WOW. Sec Noem: the Venezuelans the Trump admin is paying El Salvador to hold should be detained there "for the rest of their lives."
I can't think of anything more unamerican than life in prison with no trial. 75% of them have no criminal record at all!
No law permits the US to pay another nation to imprison someone. These actions are unlawful & abandon basic #ruleoflaw principles."

Noem, Homan, Miller, Trump... are committing #CrimesAgainstHumanity!
"By using the Alien Enemies Act far outside the bounds for which it was designed and (wrongfully) made use of before, and by employing the word 'enemy' to describe his political opponents and people he simply does not like, Trump has made the Hitler analogy as real and undeniable as the fact that tomorrow, night will fall and darkness will descend over the land."

"At least for some, comparing Donald Trump with Adolph Hitler may have previously seemed an exaggerated description of our political reality."
~ Lucian K. Truscott
Once again: all of this with the full complicity of the right-wing Catholic "pro-life" wing now in control of the Supreme Court.

"The Supreme Court’s ruling gestures at due process for people caught in an inhumane deportation machine, while effectively removing the only convenient avenue for relief. It’s also a bright green light for the Trump administration to continue giving the middle finger to courts, safe in the knowledge that their pals at One First Street will bail them out."

"There is simply no other way to read what the Supreme Court did than as a naked effort to derail a looming showdown between the Trump administration and Judge Boasberg while simultaneously making it much harder for migrants to challenge deportation orders."

"Before Chief Judge James Boasberg could even hear the plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction in J.G.G. v. Trump, five justices vacated his temporary restraining order. This will almost certainly moot the case, potentially allowing the administration to deport any one, at any time, for any reason."
