“…whatever differences we may have as Americans, the #Constitution is the common ground on which we stand. It’s what binds us across time & generations. ....It’s what makes us one people,” #MikePence said.
His comments came hours after an interview w/ #Trump aired in which he was asked whether US #citizens & #noncitizens both deserve #DueProcess as laid out in the #5thAmendment of the Constitution.…
“I don’t know.” Trump said.

“A fragile combination of decades-old laws, norms, and jungly bureaucracy has so far prevented repositories [made of enormous volumes of data provided by or collected from citizens] from assembling into a centralized American surveillance state. But that appears to be changing.”
“The question is Why? And what does the administration intend to do with it?”
#Trump said he was unsure whether people in the #US are entitled to #DueProcess rights guaranteed in the US #Constitution as his admin pushes aggressively to #deport immigrants who are in the country illegally & other non-citizens [& even #citizens].
Kristen Welker asked Trump whether he agreed w/Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, who said last month that "of course" all people in the US are entitled to due process….

The girl, known to many in her family as Antonella, is one of several #children who have been swept up in #Trump’s #immigration crackdown in recent days. At least 3 children who are #US #citizens were sent to Honduras this month with their mothers, decisions protested by the families’ lawyers.

So about a u.s judge that got recently arrested with the backing of an "administrative warrant."
A #judge in #Wisconsin state was arrested due to helping a person targeted by the current #us #administration.
Here's what happened: The judge was caught guiding this person to through a private jury door trying to hide them from #ice or from agents. Resulting in this judge getting arrested by the #fbi
The ice agents apparently did not need a #judicial #warrant to enter the #courthouse they instead used an "administrative warrant." Usually you hear about getting warrants from a judge not the #administration. It's certainly different from the everyday.
Things are getting more tensed and extreme in the u.s
Not to mention that current administration is set on experimenting on whether they can #deport u.s #citizens and taking away birthright #citizenship from traditionally considered, u.s citizens.
The #US govt has never released data on how many US #citizens have been wrongfully detained or deported by #ICE. But independent investigations have revealed that ICE has arrested, detained, deported & issued detainers—requests to local jails to hold a person in custody—for thousands of citizens since the agency’s creation in 2003.
“I don’t know how much more of a blatant or clear constitutional violation there can be than deporting #US #citizens without #DueProcess,” said Alanah Odoms, executive director of the #ACLU of Louisiana. “Especially with some of those citizens being the most vulnerable of all vulnerable, #children, & not just any children, children with #medical conditions that are dire.”
Three #US #citizens, ages 2, 4 & 7, swiftly #deported from Louisiana
The cases have *renewed* concerns that the #Trump admin’s expedited #deportations are violating the rights of both citizens & noncitizens.
3 US citizen #children from 2 different families were deported w/their mothers by #ICE during the early hours of Friday morning. One of them is a 4-yr-old w/Stage 4 #cancer who was deported w/o medication or the ability to contact their doctors….

AMERICAN PANOPTICON
The #Trump admin is pooling #data on Americans. Experts fear what comes next.
by Ian Bogost & Charlie Warzel
If you were tasked with building a #panopticon, your design might look a lot like the #information stores of the US federal govt—a collection of large, complex agencies, each making use of enormous volumes of data provided by or collected from #citizens.

In a sane world this #apartheid #scum #fraudster would have been spending the rest of his life in #prison. Unfortunately he owns the #presidency and will get away with #destroying ordinary #citizens lives.
