Trump blasts Supreme Court while arguing trials for migrants not possible
President Trump on Monday complained of being stymied at every turn by the courts, arguing the administration cant hold trials for migrants it plans to deport amid accusations they are gang members.
The remark was Trumps first on the topic since the Supreme Court agreed to intervene early Saturday morning, halting flights as the administration prepared to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, presumably to a prison in El Salvador.

Hopefully you won't have a trial before you're sent to prison!

(2,697 posts)But trials should be about discovering and exposing the truth. Having the truth available is important to democracy. If a part of the electorate chooses to ignore the truth, that weakens democracy, but that part of the electorate was always going to be detrimental to democracy.

In the three years since the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,265 defendants across nearly all 50 states and D.C. and secured sentences of incarceration for more than 460 people, according to newly released numbers from the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.

Of the more than 1,265 individuals charged since Jan. 6, 2021, department prosecutors have secured more than 718 guilty pleas -- including 213 who pleaded to felonies that include assaults on federal officers, obstructing law enforcement and seditious conspiracy.

(3,636 posts)Trump is not just deporting people. He's giving them an undetermined prison sentence!
There's a big difference.
And to add to the sickness of the whole thing, Kristi Neom takes photos of herself posing with the prisoners to brag about it.

You got your fucking due process, asshole.

(3,237 posts)We've always needed more courts and judges. If only we had lawmakers with legitimate differences, rather than one side that just wants to break everything so they can buy it.

You literally have been keeping the legal industry afloat with you bullshit lawsuits. So stop whining about brown people having the right to the legal process.
