Speaker Mike Johnson

Trump has sent $16 billion to Israel in his first 40 days but that's not enough.

Now his Thought Police (or Thought Gnome, in Speaker Johnson's case) are going after people who don't approve?

What could possibly go wrong?
 
He is a terrorist sympathizer, and an anti-Semitic if you guys want to die on this hill go ahead I am not
And Trump is a racist and so is Musk. They have that right.

He has the right to believe what he wants and say what he thinks. That's the 1A. This is wrong on every level. If you think it's ok you're part of the problem. Sucking up to authoritarianism.
 
So, again, it’s not participating in an illegal protest, they just don’t like his speech, yes?

If the SOS has complete discretion in this, as this guy claims, he will get deported.

But that’s not what other legal commentators are saying. And it would be inconsistent for the NY fed court to prevent deportation if Rubio has that alleged power.

The problem is that RNHawk doesn't care about violating the law. He only cares that we are deporting someone he disagrees with. He doesn't recognize that this could happen to someone he agrees with. The guy is not a terrorist and didn't violate the law. It's BS but RN doesn't care because it's one less person he disagrees with.

Trump carrying on with the Bush/Obama legacy. But nope...definitely NOT a UniParty. 👀

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration today argued before a federal court that it should have unreviewable authority to kill Americans the executive branch has unilaterally determined to pose a threat. Government lawyers made that claim in response to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) charging that the administration's asserted targeted killing authority violates the Constitution and international law. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia heard arguments from both sides today.

"Not only does the administration claim to have sweeping power to target and kill U.S. citizens anywhere in the world, but it makes the extraordinary claim that the court has no role in reviewing that power or the legal standards that apply," said CCR Staff Attorney Pardiss Kebriaei, who presented arguments in the case. "The Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected the government's claim to an unchecked system of global detention, and the district court should similarly reject the administration's claim here to an unchecked system of global targeted killing."

The ACLU and CCR were retained by Nasser Al-Aulaqi to bring a lawsuit in connection with the government's decision to authorize the targeted killing of his son, U.S. citizen Anwar Al-Aulaqi. The lawsuit asks the court to rule that, outside the context of armed conflict, the government can carry out the targeted killing of an American citizen only as a last resort to address an imminent threat to life or physical safety. The lawsuit also asks the court to order the government to disclose the legal standard it uses to place U.S. citizens on government kill lists.


And this:

Literally the only thing on the list he can be deported under is the "terrorist group" affiliation/membership. And I've seen no indication he is either affiliated with or a member of Hamas. Nor has he been accused of it, formally.

Nearly everything else requires formal evidence OR criminal charges. And not one of those appears to apply.

And this:
What do active terrorist combatants, outside the US, have anything to do with this?

Amidst this back and forth, if the courts ultimately rule that his detainment and deportation were lawful, how will you all view the matter?

Legal but still a bad precedent. No matter how you slice it, they’re attempting to use this to deport someone on the grounds he said or did something they don’t like. In all of this, no one has yet to provide a crime at this guy has been charged with.

Those are the only statutory grounds they can deport him under:

He committed a crime AND was convicted of it (not simply "charged")
He is actively part of a terrorist organization (member or working with them): there are ZERO charges or evidence to support this at this time.

Simply "saying" something that is the same thing a terrorist group has said sets an exceedingly low bar, that you could then prosecute half the Republican party over Nazi sympathizing and positions. If you want to make that kind of speech "illegal", this will cut both ways.

Cited numerous rules and laws stating we can deport him
 
If it's all the Trumpers on the SC: same way I viewed the "Presidential Immunity" nonsense.

Exactly what I expected.

Go back and read this thread. I provide lots of links and documents supporting my opinion

 
So deport him because he said something you disagree with? Ho Lee Fuk.

I KNEW that was the case they were going to bring up.
You're averse to facts, huh?

The fact that Bush and Obama claimed the right to torture, to unilaterally murder US citizens anywhere in the world, and to keep the legal reasoning behind their actions confidential due to 'national security' is undisputed.

But, but, but Trump! 😱

They're all peas in a pod.

If you ever looked up my posting history from that far back, I think you’d find my stance on torture has been pretty consistent.

Much of what people did under the “war on terror” umbrella was legally/morally dubious at best.

But back to this thread topic. Are you okay with deporting a person who’s here legally, has committed no crime or even been charged with anything, and in fact whose only “sin” here is to say something the federal government disagrees with?

He has committed no crime, you just don't like what he said and are totally ok with him being deported over speech. That's what it boils down to.

No. And my posting history also makes that clear.

Trump is Israel's lap dog.
 
It is possible to be Palestinian and not be part of Hamas.

Good lord, when I think back to the 1970’s, and the number of foreign students we had FSU, we would have had ICE here everyday.
