Subject: Chilling Illegality
From Joyce Vance's Substack https://joycevance.substack.co...
Let’s be clear. The United States Constitution does not permit the deportation of American citizens for committing a crime. That’s essentially what Trump talked about today, telling El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele, whom he welcomed into the Oval Office, that Bukele would need to build more of his terror prisons to house “homegrowns”—American citizens. That is not legal. But what’s legal doesn’t seem to matter to the Trump administration. The question is whether anything or anyone can still force him to follow the law.
I hadn't fully appreciated this until now.
