Summary
Immigration officials detained a US citizen for nearly 10 days in Arizona, according to court records and press reports.
On 8 April, a border patrol official found Hermosillo “without the proper immigration documents” and claimed that the young American had admitted entering the US illegally from Mexico.
On 17 April, a federal judge dismissed his case. “He did say he was a US citizen, but they didn’t believe him.”
“Under the Trump administration’s theory of the law, the government could have banished this U.S. citizen to a Salvadoran prison then refused to do anything to bring him back,” Mark Joseph Stern, a legal analyst for Slate, wrote on Bluesky. “This is why the Constitution guarantees due process to all. Could it be more obvious?”
I got a great idea from a history book! How about all of us brown people start wearing an arm band!
It could be really cool to see all of us come together… In the gas chamber or the self powering ovens.
Like do they toss us into an existing fire dead or alive? Do they need us to dehydrate first? Do we eat doritos since those things are like dry fuel? And what do we do between falling into the fire and dying. Is it best to scratch our names on the wall? Find someone to make love with one last time? Screams in fear? Just scratch the walls?
Mr. President, these are really important questions. Please have god answer those things for us when we’re there peeing ourselves. Like a nice retirement would have been good. But blood stained last message to the world, I suppose that could work for me.
