    All they needed to do was allege that they were violent gang-members/ terrorists in order to deny them ALL their due process rights. They didn’t have to prove their allegations of gang affiliations, just say it, and the Constitution goes out the window. No arraignment, no access to a lawyer, no trial, no ability to show a green card or defend themselves from the allegations. The accusation is all that stands, and it is accepted 100% without any evidence. All they have to do is point at someone, and they are sent to a foreign torture prison in a 3rd world country without a word. Its the most Gestapo policy I can think of.

    If they can do it to them, they can do it to anyone, for any reason. Write something on social media, piss off your MAGA neighbor, have a co-worker who wants your position, wear a T-shirt, have a tattoo they dont understand, attend a protest, or even just your own Democratic congressman’s town hall, etc., and you can be declared a national security threat, and you go to ElSalvador, or perhaps the new 30,000 bed facility currently being built in Gitmo.
