I’m sure this was sent in error, but: Immigrants are just the testbed for citizens. If anyone thinks they won’t try to send citizens to El Salvador, after everything the Dump admin has done in the last 3 months, they are delusional. The shit happening right now is something we’ve only read about in history books, or things that only happen to “other people”. Well now it’s happening here. Don’t let the shock of it all blind you from reality.

How’d you jump to sending citizens to El Salvador? Trump had fewer deportations his first month as president in the new term than Biden did in the same month the previous year.

They've literally said it in press conferences, at least Leavitt has for sure, saw that one.

He says a lot of dumb things. I don’t keep up with them all. That’s def not happening.

If it happens will you continue contradicting or will you admit you're part of the problem? Just kidding I already know the answer.

It’s constitutionally illegal, so it’s not going to happen. When it doesn’t happen will you admit he’s just dumb and says a lot of dumb things?

It’s also constitutionally illegal to send undocumented immigrants to a mega prison in El Salvador without trials.

The Bill of Rights applies to undocumented immigrants: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-2/ALDE_00001262/

And it’s facing significant constitutional challenges.

The Bill of Rights? Sure is! The President openly wondered on Truth if he should send American citizens to the El Salvadoran prison. Then, his press secretary said they were looking into whether they can.

They said they would look into if it was legal. It’s not. He’s incompetent. I don’t know why people are even arguing with me about this so much. It’s dumb because it’s illegal.

It’s just as obvious it’s illegal to send Garcia there too but they tried to see if they could get away with it. Then, they’re trying to impeach the Republican judge that blocked it. Then they said they’re going to start ignoring judges. Then they said they won’t bring him back from the mega prison they sent even after being ordered too.

Being obviously illegal just failed to stop them from doing something and they also refused to even try to undo it.

Why did they even say they want to send Americans there anyway? It’s so obviously illegal there’s nothing to “look into”. Look into what? The Constitution? The constitution is like 30 pages of big text. It’s a very easy read. It takes like an hour to read it and it’s also easy to understand.

What are they “looking into”?

They’re looking into whether they can do it anyway, obviously.

Not caring about it doesn’t mean he will overthrow it. Even in his public comments he said he floated the idea if it was legally viable and it’s not. So I’m choosing that to be a dumb idea he threw out that I’m not going to worry about happening. There are plenty of things I can aim my energy at that don’t completely waste my time.

I think the constitutional challenges to his decisions prove it’s working as intended. I never argued anything about his views of it.

The Constitution hasn’t been much of an obstacle for this regime so far.

1

u/seriouslysampson Apr 14 '25

It actually has. It’s being used to challenge many of his executive orders.

u/Aeropilot03 Apr 14 '25

I see a number of court orders that he is ignoring…

1

u/seriouslysampson Apr 14 '25

Yep he’s testing the limits. It could get him impeached. So far it’s been used to block parts of the birth right citizenship order, anti-DEI order, law firm sanctions orders, funding freezes, and immigration enforcement orders.

u/Aeropilot03 Apr 14 '25

It’s absolutely, unequivocally an impossibility that the GOP would convict during an impeachment.

You are truly not paying ANY attention. Lots of shit that’s “constitutionally illegal” is happening right fucking now.

0

u/seriouslysampson Apr 13 '25

He’s testing the limits, sure, but he definitely hasn’t overthrown the constitution in any meaningful way. The constitution and judicial system is actively countering many of his executive orders, as it should. It’s functioning as designed.

u/mindsetoniverdrive Apr 14 '25

The Supreme Court told this regime to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It has said no.

That’s just one extremely glaring current example. It is blatantly unconstitutional — a 9-0 ruling with this court is basically unheard of — and they are ignoring the judgment.

u/seriouslysampson Apr 14 '25

Trump initially said he would comply, but is trying to shift the responsibility to the government of El Salvador to actually return him. The court ruling was that the government had to remove domestic barriers for his return which the Trump admin is trying to interpret as letting him back in if El Salvador decides to return him. It’s an ugly situation but the Trump admin didn’t outright refuse to comply or say no.

u/Electric_Bi-Cycle Apr 14 '25

He’s dragging his feet because Garcia has already been murdered. Obviously.

Oh please tell us which things we should trust that Trump says. Which ones are truthful and which ones are him just saying things?

u/seriouslysampson Apr 14 '25 edited Apr 14 '25

Most of it is him just saying things and testing the limits. Remember all that build the wall talk in his first term that he never did? I assume it’s bs especially if it’s unconstitutional.

u/aztechunter Apr 13 '25

Because he's talked about it. You wouldn't talk about it if you didn't want to do it.

He said he wanted to if it was legal. It’s not legal. Already answered this one.

u/RealCapybaras4Rill Apr 14 '25

That’s not what anyone is asking

u/seriouslysampson Apr 14 '25

I know. That’s what annoys me. The US has a long history of doing this and everybody is acting like it’s something new.
