Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, April 07, 2025

CBS News has obtained internal documents that allowed them to identify the 238 migrants that America sent to an infamously dangerous prison in El Salvador. The majority have no criminal record.

I'm surprised it's legal to send a Venezuelan detainee to El Salvador, even without the gulag part.

Congress deemed it important. There is a process its just not through the judicial branch.

As I have been saying ...

Today the Supreme Court grants the Trump administration's request to continue to summarily remove noncitizens whom the gov't has designated as members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang under the Alien Enemies Act.

When Venezuela doesn't take them, I suspect he can send them where ever he wants.

I can see the same Democrats back in 1945 making the argument: "But he was one of the good SS/Gestapo without a criminal record".

That said, I would like Democrat media to apply the same logic to every story involving an ethnic Russian. Despite lacking any proof whatsoever, all ethnic Russians are deemed to be Russian state actors. Meanwhile, guys will full MS13 and Tren De Aragua tats are deemed 'unaffiliated' with the gang. This is why the Democrats and the MSM have lost all credibility.

Here is a hint dipshit Dems - AMERICAN CITIZENS don't want foreign gang members roaming their streets.

Fat talk, after Team Trump is renditioning students off the street for SPEECH.

"Here is a hint dipshit Dems - AMERICAN CITIZENS don't want foreign gang members roaming their streets."

Neither do Dems. They just want Due Process in between.

Due process is guaranteed by our Constitution. No exceptions for gang members, or those merely accused. Are you suggesting we wipe our ass with it?

And btw....someone just ratted YOU out as a gang member. Do YOU deserve due process, or not?

Due process is for those who have been charged with a crime. It does not apply to deportation.

Sure they don't - which is why Kamala was bailing them out during the BLM riots. The game is up - people had their blinders removed and they see the Democrats fighting for EVERYONE except US citizens. That is why your party is plummeting below 27% approval. If you are here illegally and join a gang, your ass is being deported - period.

WRONG

Fifth Amendment
No person....shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

How is one deported without being deprived of liberty?

How does one establish whether one is eligible for asylum without due process?

How does one establish who a person is without due process?

How does one establish whether a person has protected status, without due process?

You are wrong, or lying.

How about deportation PURPOSELY TO A HELLHOLE FOREIGN PRISON?

This is as morally vacuous as Scalia pretending Guantanamo was some magic Brigadoon where America had all of the legal authority but none of the legal responsibility.

For known violent criminals that went on to victimize additional people. Thank you for proving my point - Dems want violent criminals and gang members out on your street to terrorize US citizens. Every action that they take proves this point.

You don't know that without due process.

What a riot: You still don't have an answer for when YOU'RE the one ratted out.

Don't be a coward, just answer: if it was YOU, would YOU deserve due process? Yes or No?

For an illegal suspected of being a gangmember? No, they do not deserve due process. By virtue of being illegal, they should be immediately deported. In fact, they should charge the Democrats under RICO for allowing the flood of illegals. For the RICO charge, I would allow for due process.

Make sure you flush twice after using that page of the Constitution to wipe your arse.

Then answer, since you've been accused of being an illegal and you're suspected of being a gang member.

As it is, I'll note you've waived your right to due process. But I've yet to see in the Constitution where you get to waive someone else's due process.

It takes all of 10 seconds to assess if the person is an illegal. After that determination, your rights should be stripped and you should be deported - I suggest by catapult at the Southern border.

You don't trust the government to get this simple task right but you are willing to turn over every other aspect of your life to them. You should think more about that.

More judicial overreach.

So long as the Executive branch has some process by which they make their determination they are working within the Act.

For SCOTUS to get in the way is an over reach of their authority.

Ludecke v. Watkins, 335 U.S. 160 (1948)
Held.
1. The Alien Enemy Act precludes judicial review of the removal order.
4. The fact that hearings are utilized by the Executive to secure an informed basis for the exercise of the summary power conferred by the Act does not empower the courts to retry such hearings, nor does it make the withholding of such power from the courts a denial of due process
supreme.justia.com

Could the argument be made the conditions to execute under The Alien Enemies Act don't exist? Sure, but thats not whats going on, its judicial overeach.

Will SCOTUS overturn precedents set by previous rulings? Probably. Because Power is the name of the game, because all the other branches are broken.

Nucking Fidiot pontificates about s**t they don't know s**t about. From today's per curium:

Per Curiam succeed on the merits of this action. The detainees also sought equitable relief against summary removal. Although judicial review under the AEA is limited, we have held that an individual subject to detention and removal under that statute is entitled to "judicial review'" as to "questions of interpretation and constitutionality" of the Act as well as whether he or she "is in fact an alien enemy fourteen years of age or older." Ludecke, 335 U. S., at 163'164, 172, n. 17. (Under the Proclamation, the term "alien enemy" is defined to include "all Venezuelan citizens 14 years of age or older who are members of TdA, are within the United States, and are not actually naturalized or lawful permanent residents of the United States." 90 Fed. Reg. 13034.) The detainees' rights against summary removal, however, are not currently in dispute. The Government expressly agrees that "TdA members subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act get judicial review." Reply in Support of Application ToVacate 1. "It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law" in the context of removal proceedings. Reno v. Flores, 507 U. S. 292, 306 (1993). So, the detainees are entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard "appropriate to the nature of the case." Mullanev. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U. S. 306, 313 (1950). More specifically, in this context, AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order thatthey are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.
