It's LIQUIDATION.
Incarceration is a penal act. It is controlled by laws. There're well-understood mechanisms governing the length of terms, applications for parole, processes for release.
Liquidation is a pol act. It's arbitrary, opaque, & unappealable. There're no controlling laws or processes -only power.
This is why Trump can't allow Abrego Garcia to return to the US
.
It's why the democratic opposition must go to the mattresses to bring him home.
@wendysiegelman This is alarming, esp when you know about the ALJ and how administrative law judges work and are appointed.
"[Erik] Prince’s group also wants a role in the immigration courts, one of several elements of the proposal that would likely draw legal challenges.
If the immigrant does not have a deportation order, 2USV will “facilitate a hearing before an immigration judge to adjudicate any pending asylum claim.”"

The law:
8 CFR 1001.1 (l) The term immigration judge means an attorney whom the Attorney General appoints as an administrative judge within the Executive Office for Immigration Review, qualified to conduct specified classes of proceedings, including a hearing under section 240 of the Act. An immigration judge shall be subject to such supervision and shall perform such duties as the Attorney General shall prescribe, but shall not be employed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service."

Dear @AuswaertigesAmt
thanks for the Partial Travel Warning USA for LGBTQ+ people –
Trump said now he will even deport Greencard Owners.
Sounds like an update for an Acute Travel Warning …

@arzi @spacehobo at least one of them has to be on the current DOGE team, right? That's a safe bet
Indiana's GOP pushes for tax cuts that will have huge impacts on local governments, especially on schools, police and fire departments.
Merrillville is talking about laying off police officers if SB1 passes in the legislature because they won't have enough money to pay them.
Add the $500B loss due to gutting of the IRS and the winning starts to take shape!
Tourism Pullback and Boycotts Set to Cost U.S. a Staggering $90 Billion

"Foreign tourism has fallen off a cliff.
This is a $100B domestic industry largely concentrated in NYC, southern Florida, southern California, and Las Vegas.
Hotels, airlines, restaurants, and tour guides are already feeling the pain."

If Trump isn't stopped from his path of destruction, the US will be in deep recession by the summer.

Abrego's family must be anguished. They don't know for certain if he's alive. If he's in CECOT, then Abrego's in peril. It's one of the world's worst prisons for #humanrights violations -has led to the death of at least368 ppl...

Is Netanyahu giving the Israeli hostages the Hannibal-Directive treatment?
Report: "The military wing of Hamas has announced it has lost contact with the team guarding US-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander in Gaza after direct Israeli bombardment targeted their location.
"Hamas had released a video giving proof of life for Alexander, which was filmed sometime last week."
In the video, Alexander had urged Trump "not to believe lies told by Netanyahu."
"The idea that “it was time for Wall St to take a back seat, so Main St could thrive”…
To be clear - in times of volatility, trading desks can make a killing.
In time of recession-investors can bet against the mkt & win.
When everything costs more,Main Street feels the pain."

Just an avalanche of bad news one after another."
-R Hakimian
Analysis: "Over 100,000 Israelis have reportedly stopped showing up for reserve duty". It is the Israeli army's "biggest refusal crisis in decades."
"It is becoming increasingly legitimate to refuse to report for military service in Israel — and not only among the radical left.
"While their reasons differ, the scale demonstrates the war’s waning legitimacy."
