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?”

    Furnaces in German death camps were necessary, because this part of Europe was densely populated, so there were nowhere to store bodies where they wouldn’t interfere with the comfort of the general population. USA has so many generous swaths of uninhabited dirt, they’ll just take some state with area of bigger European country and population of average European city like like Wyoming, and move all the undesirables there to live and thrive in Freedom Settlements, producing all the goods that aren’t coming from China anymore.
