Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

Top Trump administration officials—including the president, vice president, attorney general, and secretary of state—openly celebrated the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants over the weekend in defiance of a federal judge's order to halt the removals, which were carried out under a 1798 law that plainly states it is only operative in the context of a declared war.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance wrote late Sunday that "there were violent criminals and rapists in our country" and "President [Donald] Trump deported them." There was no due process for the more than 200 Venezuelans whom the Trump administration claims are gang members.

Vance's social media post, which came in response to reporting about the White House's acknowledgment that it ignored the court order blocking the deportations, was met with disgust and alarm.

"You are beyond vile," political scientist Norman Ornstein wrote. "You have no idea if the ones that were picked up and sent illegally to an El Salvador prison are all violent criminals. You abused the plain language of the law, gave them no due process, and defied a legitimate court order. This is American Gestapo."

So is Trump about to Find Out™ what happens when you ignore a court order, or is the rest of America gonna see him face absolutely no consequences for this?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

No consequence.... sadly thisbis what the majority of americans want (or don't care enough to stop)

Depends on what the Marshalls end up doing. They are supposed to enforce for the judiciary, but they are under the executive branch. I wouldn't be surprised if the ranks were full of brain dead Trump supporters and we are cooked.

Just a heads up it's only one L in Marshal unless you're referring to the clothing store.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It would be pretty dope if the discount retailer saved the country tho. Leaving it.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's a guitar amplifier grand that dabbled into other things as a side hustle.

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump may be immune from everything, but he's not the one personally doing the deportations.

Just start arresting the people implementing the policies.

Send Big Ballz to jail and see how fast the rest of DOGE quits and goes home.

I mean he'll just pardon them just like he did with the Jan 6 people and others who helped him in the election

He can't pardon state crimes.

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He’s been disobeying court orders his whole life, why would he change that now that the highest court appointed him as king?

[–] aaron@infosec.pub 9 points 1 week ago

How many felonies did he get away with before the election?

Why would he give a fuck about courts?

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

Trump better be CAREFUL! Otherwise the Judges MIGHT send him an ANGRY letter that someone will have to Read to him!

[–] halfempty@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Evidently the Federal Judge didn't put the "turn the planes around immediately" language in the written ruling. He said it verbally. Of course Trump ignored the verbal part. Future rulings will likely be more careful.

Next time:

"Turn the plane around"

"Okay..." depressurizes the plane

"...but you didn't say to bring them back alive..."

the removals, which were carried out under a 1798 law that plainly states it is only operative in the context of a declared war.

Didn't read the whole article to see if it touched on this, but I have to wonder if Trump declaring drug cartels as terrorists plays into this. Obviously, most if not all are probably not part of the cartel, but it doesn't seem to take much for this admin to loosely tie people to their out groups and the other branches not to push back.
