Jacob Levy, Tomlinson Professor of Political Theory at McGill University, cautioned in a Blue Sky thread that the case involving a Maryland man the U.S. government acknowledges was "wrongfully deported" has reached a "crisis moment."In March, Kilmar Ábrego García was accused of being an MS-13 gang m...
No.
When he deports a citizen who is immediately killed in prison, that’s a red line.
And even then only if he’s white, and Christian enough.
These are red lines of unacceptable behavior and policy, not the lines marking when Americans will actually pay attention. And even if what you describe were to happen, all the Trump supporters would just come up with excuses, while others would protest through the usual channels and be ignored.
Oh man, you almost had me there, good one!
Sounds like something the Onion would have put out in their heyday, you know, before the utter collapse of reality.
I don’t think that would do mit either. Not even if it’s a pregnant woman.
It will be deflected, as the prisons fault, and Trump will continue to send pregnant women without a second thought.
It’s all boiling a frog. If he did that day one it would be over the line and cause response. Each step along the way that is eventually accepted makes the next step easier, which enables the one after that and so forth. They deported “criminals” not legally in the country with little protest, they faced little pushback when it turned out they weren’t criminals, so they then moved on to those who are here legally. And as this is becoming mundane they’re laying the groundwork for it to be citizens.
The only line they have is what the people will tolerate, and they’re expanding that day by day.
Absolutely, the red line was doing it at all without due process.
