I've been watching the legal "stuff" around #deporting and #kidnapping in the US.

I'm confused;

Isn't there a simple law that says "a #citizen of the #USA may not be forced to leave the country by anyone for any reason at any time."
If this is an important law and elected leader acts above the law then #impeach leader immediately on the first attempt to violate the #law.

show some respect for rule of law.

If there isnt one, why isnt there one being written right now.

Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was charged with illegally entering #Florida as an “unauthorized alien”

Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez is a #US #Citizen

Born in the #USA

He was on his way to his job in #Tallahassee

The state prosecutor said the court lacked jurisdiction to release Juan because US #ICE asked the jail to hold him

#LeonCounty Judge LaShawn Riggans inspected Juan’s birth certificate and released him any way

To his mother's embrace

"I literally drove my car to Canada for the weekend, & on the way back, I was treated like a criminal,"said Atallah, who has been a #US #citizen for 10 yrs.…

"So I had to, under duress, give him permission to look through my email, through my priveleged information…,"Atallah said.

After several requests, Atallah says CBP called his sister, an #immigration atty.

"It's not about the immigrants,"Celine Atallah, Bachir's sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's …all of us."

NBC10 Boston · ‘Treated like a criminal': US citizen says he was detained returning from CanadaBy Jericho Tran

Only in #solidarity do we affirm #law

"If citizens endorse the idea that people named by authorities as "criminals" or "terrorists" have no right to due process, then they are accepting that they themselves have no right to due process. It is #dueProcess, and due process alone, that allows you to demonstrate that you are a #citizen. Without it, the masked men in the black vans can simply claim that you are a foreign terrorist & disappear you"

#HomelandSecurity Email Tells a US #Citizen to 'Immediately' Self-Deport

An email sent by the Department of Homeland Security instructs people in the US on a temporary legal status to leave the country. But who the email actually applies to—and who actually received it—is far from clear.

This is an umpteenth demonstration that the USA are now snowballing toward an #authoritarian and maybe even #totalitarian regime, under new dictator #Trump. #FreedomOfSpeech is being destroyed from the top down. Examples are made with #foreigners, who are the least capable of defending themselves, but #citizen should fear this too, because it's coming for them as well, and not just national #minorities. #columbiauniversity

#Trump is seeking to #deport another #academic who is legally in the country

Badar Khan Suri, a fellow at #Georgetown, says he is being punished because of the suspected views of his wife, a US #citizen w/ #Palestinian heritage.
Hooded #ICE agents snatched the India-born Georgetown postdoc #BadarSuri from Rosslyn street Mon, per the court filing. Like #MahmoudKhalil, Suri was subject to #MarcoRubio’s 'foreign policy' power, atty says.

Continued thread

The Congressional #Hispanic Caucus [#CHC] released a statement hitting back at the #Republicans attack on its chairperson.

“This #xenophobic rhetoric from #Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the #law, get your papers, become a #citizen, get elected to #Congress — swear multiple #oaths to protect & defend the #Constitution — & all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an ‘illegal immigrant,’” the group wrote in a post.

Bully #Trump of the #usa say to the #world " Don't use US #weapons like #F35, don't use US products like #microsoft - we have the power to shut down everything if you don't give us what we want!"
Brave #Canada - hope you won't be the next one, or #greenland ....

But that is what us #citizen wanted, what they vote! This was clear that it is going to come ...
SORRY to say this ...
In #germany it looks like that we didn't integrate the former #gdr in a good way - little bit like Trump ...
