Ha ha.

Another False Arrest lawsuit.

Trumpy ain't got time for this.

Seriously

Have you seen how old tired and sleepy he seems lately?

Trying to destroy democracy is hard work.

You say a little thing like "We are thinking about eliminating habeas corpus" and everyone gets all flippy floppy!!

When are they going to whip this out?

H. Rept. 104-828 - ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM AND IMMIGRANT RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF 1996
www.congress.gov

Former President Bill Clinton signed a 1996 law establishing expedited removal, a fast-track deportation that allows for deportations without going before an immigration judge.

"When are they going to whip this out?"

When in doubt. Whip it out!

The law also established a procedure for expedited removal, by which an INS officer, rather than an immigration judge, may order the removal of an individual. This expedited procedure applied to individuals at a port of entry and those unable to prove that they had been residing in the country continuously for two years. Individuals intending to apply for asylum were exempted from this provision.

And you think that maga maroons don't already know about and are using this law whenever they can? They'd go back to the 1700s if they could find a law from that era to harass immigrants with.

Regardless.. It is still due process and does not eliminate habeas corpus.

So good luck with that nonsense.
