Sending convicted U.S. citizens to prisons abroad.</p><p> This has been floated as a spinoff of Trump's deal with El Salvador, where a high-security prison is holding about 300 U.S. immigration detainees that the administration says are suspected criminals and gang members.<br> "Homegrowns are next," Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele last week, referring to sending Americans convicted of crimes to serve time in foreign prisons.<br> "We always have to obey the laws," Trump said, "but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways, that hit elderly ladies over the head ... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country."<br> Trump's suggestion — echoing a similar proposal Bukele made to Secretary of State Marco Rubio in February — drew a storm of criticism from legal advocates, who called it unconstitutional.</p><p>2. Putting critics of the administration's policies in jeopardy.</p><p> Some officials say U.S. citizens who <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/criticize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criticize</span></a> administration policies could be charged with crimes, based on the notion that they're aiding terrorists and criminals.<br> "You have to ask yourself, are they technically aiding and abetting them, because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime," White House senior director for counterterrorism Seb Gorka said in an interview with Newsmax.<br> Trump's team also has questioned the legality of civic groups providing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigrants</span></a> with "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KnowYourRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KnowYourRights</span></a>" trainings on how to respond to federal agents. Border czar Tom Homan suggested that such seminars help people evade law enforcement.<br> "They're trying to use terrorism laws to attack people for their speech and for their political activism, and that's an authoritarian effort," said Kerri Talbot, co-executive director of the Immigration Hub, an immigration advocacy group.</p><p>3. Questioning the authority of court orders.</p><p> The administration's resistance to returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia — who was legally in the U.S. with an order not to be deported back to El Salvador, but deported to the prison there anyway — has raised questions about how far Trump's team can go in trying to skirt court orders.<br> The White House says the decision to return <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbregoGarcia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbregoGarcia</span></a> rests with El Salvador because the U.S. Supreme Court told the administration only to "facilitate" his return, not "effectuate" it.</p><p>Advocates worry the resulting confusion has laid the groundwork for Trump's team to send a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCitizen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USCitizen</span></a> to a foreign prison, then claim that person couldn't be returned.</p><p> A federal judge raised this concern in Abrego Garcia's case.<br> "If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?" wrote Judge Harvie Wilkinson III.<br> "And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies?"</p><p>What they're saying: Michelle Brané, former executive director of the Biden administration's Family Reunification Task Force, echoed Wilkinson.</p><p> "If they can send a noncitizen to a prison in El Salvador without due process ... why would a U.S. citizen be safer?"</p><p>The White House didn't respond to a request for comment. But officials have argued that they have an electoral mandate for stricter immigration enforcement, and that opposition to their policies is against the will of voters.</p><p> Trump's handling of immigration polls well in public surveys.<br> But sending immigrants to El Salvador's prison without criminal convictions or due process does not — about 60% were opposed in a recent YouGov survey.</p><p>Between the lines: U.S. citizens have been mistakenly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) before, including cases this month in Arizona and Florida.</p><p> "People are realizing that this is going to impact all communities," Talbot said, "and that if one citizen can be picked up, then any of us can be picked up and put into proceedings, or labeled a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terrorist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terrorist</span></a>, or removed to a foreign prison." </p><p>Original

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed this week that the president has discussed this idea privately, too, adding he would only do this 'if it’s legal.' </p><p>"El Salvador’s president, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nayi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nayi</span></a> Bukele, has for months been offering to hold U.S. citizens in his country’s prison system, which he has turned into 'a judicial black hole' rife with 'systematic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/torture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>torture</span></a>,' as one <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> advocate recently told Rolling Stone.</p><p>"Legal experts agree that sending American citizens to prison in El Salvador would be flagrantly illegal under both U.S. and international law — and that the idea itself is shockingly <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarian</span></a>, with few parallels in our nation’s history. </p><p>"The Trump administration is indeed discussing this idea behind the scenes, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Rolling Stone. In their most serious form, these conversations have revolved around attempting to denaturalize American citizens and deport them to other countries, including El Salvador. </p><p>" 'You can’t deport U.S. citizens. There’s no emergency exception, there’s no special wartime authority, there’s no secret clause. You just can’t deport citizens,' says Steve Vladeck, a legal commentator and law professor at Georgetown. </p><p>" 'Whatever grounds they try to come up with for denaturalization or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/expatriation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expatriation</span></a>, the one thing that is absolutely undeniable is that people are entitled to individualized processes, before that process can be effectuated.' </p><p>"In the United States, the grounds to strip a naturalized individual of their citizenship encompass serious material offenses.

DoomsdaysCW<p>From <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a>: Internment of Japanese Americans</p><p>"During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated about 120,000 people of Japanese descent in ten concentration camps operated by the War Relocation Authority (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WRA</span></a>), mostly in the western interior of the country. About two-thirds were U.S. citizens. </p><p>"These actions were initiated by Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, following the outbreak of war with the Empire of Japan in December 1941. About 127,000 Japanese Americans then lived in the continental U.S., of which about 112,000 lived on the West Coast. About 80,000 were Nisei ('second generation'; American-born Japanese with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USCitizenship</span></a>) and Sansei ('third generation', the children of Nisei). The rest were Issei ('first generation') immigrants born in Japan, who were ineligible for citizenship. In Hawaii, where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans comprised more than one-third of the territory's population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were incarcerated.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internment</span></a> was intended to mitigate a security risk which Japanese Americans were believed to pose. The scale of the incarceration in proportion to the size of the Japanese American population far surpassed similar measures undertaken against German and Italian Americans who numbered in the millions and of whom some thousands were interned, most of these non-citizens. Following the executive order, the entire West Coast was designated a military exclusion area, and all Japanese Americans living there were taken to assembly centers before being sent to concentration camps in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Arkansas. Similar actions were taken against individuals of Japanese descent in Canada. Internees were prohibited from taking more than they could carry into the camps, and many were forced to sell some or all of their property, including their homes and businesses. At the camps, which were surrounded by barbed wire fences and patrolled by armed guards, internees often lived in overcrowded barracks with minimal furnishing."</p><p>[...]</p><p>Prior use of internment camps in the United States</p><p>"The United States Government had previously employed civilian internment policies in a variety of circumstances.

The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations. <br>In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElSalvador" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElSalvador</span></a>, known for human rights abuses.</p><p>"All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/habeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>habeas</span></a> petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained. </p><p>"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmyConeyBarrett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmyConeyBarrett</span></a>, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented. Barrett joined Justice <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoniaSotomayor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoniaSotomayor</span></a>’s dissent calling the majority’s legal conclusion 'suspect' and questioning if habeas claims should be the only way to contest deportations under the act.</p><p>"'The Court’s legal conclusion is suspect,' wrote <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sotomayor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sotomayor</span></a>.
