Homan insisted that the #Trump admin doesn’t “deport US #citizen #children,” emphasizing instead that the mothers may have wanted to take the children w/them when facing #deportation. If someone chooses to come to the US without the proper documentation & have a child, Homan said, “that’s on you, that’s not on this administration.” Having a child in the United States “is not a get-out-of-jail-free card,” he added.

Speaking to CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Homan said Sunday that he’s not aware of any specifics in the case of the 4-yr-old citizen w/ #cancer, but he dismissed the use of the word “deported” to describe the removal of the American children from the country.

“No #UScitizen child was deported,” Homan said. “Deported means ordered by an immigration judge.”

The #US govt has never released data on how many US #citizens have been wrongfully detained or deported by #ICE. But independent investigations have revealed that ICE has arrested, detained, deported & issued detainers—requests to local jails to hold a person in custody—for thousands of citizens since the agency’s creation in 2003.

“I don’t know how much more of a blatant or clear constitutional violation there can be than deporting #US #citizens without #DueProcess,” said Alanah Odoms, executive director of the #ACLU of Louisiana. “Especially with some of those citizens being the most vulnerable of all vulnerable, #children, & not just any children, children with #medical conditions that are dire.”

I AM AWARE, of the disparaging reports on #KilmarAbregoGarcia.

But TO BE CLEAR it’s all besides the point!

People can talk all kinds of shit about people!

It’s 100% legal for #Trump / #felon47 to #LIE in a verbal diarrheal shitfall to his curated *press pool*.

It is NOT legal to LIE ABOUT FACTS IN A COURT OF #LAW.

A previous #SCOTUS ruling on #Trump's use of the #AlienEnemiesAct said that "detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time & in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek #habeas relief in the proper venue before such #removal occurs."

US District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston last month had issued an order that temporarily blocked the #Trump admin from fast-tracking #deportations, hobbling its ability to remove migrants subject to final orders who in some cases have legal protections preventing them from being sent back to their countries of origin.

The preliminary #injunction issued Friday will keep that order in place until the #litigation is resolved.

@TexasObserver The CEO of #UnitedHealthcare that was shot by #Luigi Mangione will be remembered as Brian Thompson.

But the first #ICE member to die during an illegal #rendition will simply be remembered as an #American #Gestapo.

#Resist. #DoNotComply and #DoNotCollaborateWithFascists in #USpol.

Senator #VanHollen — also refreshingly given the lies & obfuscation from the #Trump admin & #DOJ — tells EXACTLY what he did today in #ElSalvador to try to see or speak with #KilmarAbregoGarcia, exactly what the VP of El Salvador said in response to his queries & exactly what steps he will take now.

Ahhh (sigh of relief) #Democrats are so nice that way.

“It should be a priority of the US govt to secure his safe release, which is why tomorrow I am traveling to #ElSalvador. My hope is to visit Kilmar & check on his wellbeing & to hold constructive conversations w/govt ofcls around his release. We must urgently continue working to return Kilmar safely home to Maryland,” #VanHollen continued.

I hadn’t seen that the #DOJ actually submitted a transcript of the #Trump / #Bukele presser to the court as part of their status update. Absolutely ridiculous.
