Leading Jewish group condemns deportations of pro-Palestinian protesters

This article explains how the Anti Defamation League's CEO (Jonathan Greenblatt) is calling the deportation effort against campus protesters a violation of due process and possibly punishment for “thoughtcrimes”.

The ADF is the nation’s leading organization fighting antisemitism.

He says that the Trump administration is betraying American values, denying due process, and punishing people for their views rather than their actions .... that the administration has failed to ensure the due process that is central to America’s justice system.

He also says that there is a “substantial difference” between expressing controversial views and depriving people of their civil rights ... adding that the ADL has a long history of supporting free speech.

After the apparent erroneous deportation, this appears to be some encouraging news IMO.

Perhaps this administration action and legal remedy sought here by a federal judge will help with some appropriate accountability, responsibility, and actions. MOO

Stephen Miller’s snark is hateful.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/04/politics/judge-orders-us-government-return-man-from-el-salvador/index.html

Stephen Miller, Trump’s White House deputy chief of staff, on Friday called Xinis a “Marxist judge” who “now thinks she’s president of El Salvador.”

“Marxist judge now thinks she’s president of El Salvador,” Miller wrote in a post on X.

I love the attorney’s logic…

“I don’t see how they can even plausibly argue that there’s no capacity to bring someone back,” Sandoval-Moshenberg said “Maybe they could have made that argument prior to Wednesday of last week, but as soon as they put Kristi Noem within the walls of that prison, they really kneecap their argument to say that they can’t get someone out of that prison — because they got Kristi Noem out of that prison.”

Last week, popular podcaster Joe Rogan referred to a recent deportation operation as "horrific".

"You got to get scared that people who are not criminals are getting, like, lassoed up and deported and sent to, like, El Salvador prisons," he said on The Joe Rogan Experience.

He referenced the case of Andry Jose Hernandez Romero, a make-up artist from Venezuela. Advocates say he was wrongly accused of being a gang member because of his tattoos, which feature crowns above the words "mom" and "dad".

"Let's not let innocent gay hairdressers get lumped up with the gangs," Rogan said

Yes. And I read an early article where the judge said to them that they had the capacity to bring back 5 or 6 other (known) people from El Salvador when they returned from a flight there ... why didn't they bring Mr Garcia back then.

Seems that is part of the punishment for trying to get a better life for your family.

they will say it is a deterrent effect, which it is - but it also makes innocent people despise the United States as "collateral damage"

they will say it is a deterrent effect, which it is - but it also makes innocent people despise the United States as "collateral damage"

A 'deterrent' effect would be the deportation of indivudals who've actually undergone 'due process' back to their home nations after they've been afforded their Constituional 14th ammendment right to due process (which SCOTUS has alread decided is applicable to these very same people "regardless of citizenship").

That's not what's happening in the United States of today.

People who have not undergone their constitutional due process are being 'exported to prisons' in a third country which is being paid to take them and lock 'em up regardless of whether or not they've actually comitted any crimes.

Those all combine to equal internationally recognized standards of "violations of Human Rights". It's Nazi Germany circa 1930s and it only gets worse from there.

Given the 'payment' to El Salvador in exchange for these people, I'm of the opinion that "human trafficking" is also an apt label.

IMO.

"US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced that the US is immediately revoking visas issued to all South Sudanese passport holders due to the African nation refusing to accept its citizens who have been removed from the US.

Rubio, in a statement on Saturday, added that the US will also block any arriving citizens of South Sudan, the world's newest country, at US ports of entry.

He blamed "the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner".

It comes as fears grow that South Sudan may again descend into civil war."

"This is ghoulish behaviour. Sociopathic. Shame on you," wrote one user.
Another said, "It would be great if you guys stopped with the dehumanising posts! It's disgusting." "

"Leavenworth is a city of prisons.

But there’s one detention facility that Leavenworth city officials don’t want.

It’s the newly (and Orwellian) named Midwest Regional Reception Center, a for-profit prison that would hold ICE detainees gathered in massive raids now undertaken by the Trump administration.

The center would be located in the former Leavenworth Detention Facility, in operation from 1992 to 2021, which a federal judge once called “an absolute hell hole.”

After an executive order by former President Joe Biden prohibited the Justice Department from contracting with private prisons, the Leavenworth Detention Facility officially closed on Jan. 1, 2022.

When I learned recently the city had filed suit to stop the reopening of the Leavenworth Detention Facility, my first thought was it seemed out of character for a prison town.
But the more I thought about it, the less out of character it seemed. Who better to judge the civic threat posed by a for-profit prison company with a horrifying record of mismanagement and abuse? "

This Kansas town knows prisons. It doesn't want a for-profit company opening a 'hell hole' for ICE. • Kansas Reflector

But there's one detention facility that Leavenworth city officials don't want. It's the for-profit prison that would hold ICE detainees.

"South Sudan nationals in the US were granted “temporary protected status” by the Obama administration in 2011 on the grounds that the country was unsafe because of fighting that started after it declared independence from Sudan. A TPS designation means individuals cannot be removed from the US and are granted the right to work and the ability to travel.

The designation was extended by the Biden administration last September but is set to expire next month. The Department of Homeland Security said 133 people from South Sudan were on the TPS programme last year.


Trump has been pushing to end TPS designations for a handful of countries including Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, potentially affecting half a million people. A judge last month paused plans to end the legal protections for Venezuelans'.
