US President Donald Trump said to give everyone a trial “would take, without exaggeration, 200 years.” Lawyers for Venezuelan migrants have demanded 30 days’ notice for migrants before deporting them.

      It’s just a piece of paper. An idea. And if people don’t believe in this idea and won’t enforce it, then it is truly meaningless.

    Interesting that due process is an undue burden.

    “I want to deport people that I can’t meet the evidentiary burden to legally deport.”

    The rule of law is dying and if you try to resist you get deported without a trial.

    Traitor to his oath to the Constitution again and again, the Republicans showing they are fascists and Democrats showing they are okay with fascists as long as they don’t disrupt the economy.
