What is the point of an immigration court if not to decide immigration issues? The judge just ceded all immigration authority to the Secretary of State. Complete bullshit.

I mean, the secretary of state has that power, it's just that in previous administrations they never used it widely. It's another one of those norms that are being broken while still being legal.

Bad parts of laws can be declared unconstitutional by courts.

it would hit the SC and be called fine

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

On what grounds would it be unconstitutional? It's basically similar to the pardon power.

Former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich noted that "Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully." "That's supposed to be permitted in a democracy," he added. "If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what's to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn't like?"

Republican Judge rules for the republicans, again.

Just saw The Encampments last night in theaters. Mahmoud Khalil features prominently. Highly recommend everyone go watch and support.

Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Jamee Comans

Too much trouble to check the article, huh?

But deported to Egypt or "deported"? Because if the former then given the shit is going on in US right now, he might be doing him a favor.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

That’s the thing with calling the imprisonment in a foreign country “deportation”. It really muddies the water and makes it very easy for people to have an image of people being sent home, when in fact they send them to life in prison, so bad even the US doesn’t allow it yet. I hope they mean the former but fear the latter is more likely.
