“…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….

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.

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.
