Ice is state sponsored domestic terrorism. Ice is the equivalent of Mussolini’s blackshirts or Hitler’s brown shirts. Ice is an unaccountable fascist paramilitary. Ice will get away with whatever we allow them to get away with. The government is rogue at this point

Here is what they aren't saying: If some people can be deprived of due process, there is no due process for anyone. The DUe PRocess clause prevents states from depriving "any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." "Due process" simply means a fair hearing with fair procedures to challenge the claims against you. It is a foundational bulwark against tyranny, and has it's origins in the Magna Carta. If the government can snatch you up and detain you without a hearing, you no longer have due process.

Turns out one has to understand the Constitution to defend it. Who knew?

The Court has agreed to hear a Trump administration appeal involving lawful permanent residents who were detained for months without a chance to ask for release on bond. A lower court ruled that prolonged detention without bond hearings violated due process protections. The administration is now asking the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling.

This is not a technical court dispute for the people inside detention. A bond hearing can be the only chance to ask a judge to look at whether continued detention is justified. Without that hearing, ICE can keep someone locked up while the immigration case moves slowly through the system.

It'll never pass the Supreme Court; It's blatantly unconstitutional.
