Boy, what a self aware example that shows of so many of the issues on the right.

unalienable

Pretty sure the idea of due process extends to ensuring the government respects "certain unalienable rights" that America recognizes all people are born with--that includes non-citizens

Assemble a list of MAGAts. Denounce all of them as illegal aliens. At least a few of them will be deported.

Repeat ad infinitum.

A reminder about your rights. If the government can declare you to have an attribute that negates your rights, then you have no rights.

In laymen's terms, if ICE arrests you and fast deports you, whose going to stop them? Okay but you get to a consulate in the foreign country and get back home. When you come out of your lawyer's office (because you're suing ICE), ICE arrests you again, this time as a criminal illegal alien because you came back in. They tell no one they have you, they tell no one where you are. You have no rights according to them. You are sent to an El Salvadoran prison in contravention of a court order not to deport you.

These are all things that have happened separately. We've accidently deported Americans. We've deported Americans on purpose. (Trump sent American kids away so he could deport their parents too) We've deported someone to an El Salvadoran prison in contravention of a court order.

If they don't have rights, then neither do you because the government can just declare you a member of that group and as long as the guys with guns maintain that fiction, nobody can stop them.

This is also why the attacks on identification documentation for transgender people should concern everyone. We used to consider ex post facto laws unconstitutional - even things like sex registry acts have been historically controversial because they were adding a punishment that had not been previously ordained.

I spent $5500 that I could not afford (as in, I ended up having to do sex work to pay for it) - to get my “irreversible and permanent” surgery that the state I lived in said would qualify to have my legal sex changed. Like, I would have preferred to wait until I was in a more financially stable situation or might not have even bothered because I didn’t even really need to bind to pass - but the drivers license with an “F” is a problem once you have a full beard.

I followed their rules, I played their games. And now they get to say, nope, doesn’t count anymore. That’s not how the law is supposed to work.
