The Trump administration destroyed the life of an innocent man and his family but won't do a thing.
"The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up."

Trump's #Corruption & #HumanRights violations cover up Bukele's.

Deal: shows Trump's disdain for: #RuleOfLaw. He continues to crime, pardon & commute, & disappear others' crimes who help his agenda.

“A pol negotiation -#Trump admin gave Bukele just enough so that they could make this negotiation happen, which was to take in the 238 Venezuelan migrants.”

Trump holds onto other valuable co-defendants *may hold info. about Bukele’s alleged corruption.

The US as an Authoritarian State: Danger to the Global Rule of Law

A true Christian believer's response to Trump's illegal deportations and Kristi Noem's prison stunt:

This sinner saved by grace (myself) fully agrees with the speaker in this video.
Trump and his cohorts do not represent the faith that I live daily.

Trump & Musk’s actions speak louder than words.

❌ If you pardon violent insurrectionists, you support violence.

❌ If you don’t prosecute public corruption, you support corruption.

❌ If you oppose vaccines, you support the spread of disease.

❌ If you threaten lawyers & judges, you oppose the rule of law.

❌ If you threaten democratic allies, you support #authoritarianism.

❌ If you oppose #DEI, you oppose civil rights.

Judge Delivers Crippling Blow to MAGA

Musk:“If ANY judge ANYWHERE can block EVERY Presidential order EVERYWHERE, we do NOT have democracy, we have TYRANNY of the JUDICIARY.”

Aka #RuleOfLaw.

Sorry, dude, guess they didn't have that where you ostensibly grew up.

ICYMI -

What to expect from a felon tyrant wannabe king who keeps getting stopped by a judiciary enforcing the #RuleOfLaw? That he continue to break laws and try to silence those who call it out and oppose him.

It’s also why he’s attacking law firms.

Brian Tyler Cohen and Glenn Kirschner run through this week’s judicial decisions refuting and rebuking the Trump regime’s attacks on individuals, Constitutional rights, and the rule of law.

Spoiler: Trump keeps acting without legal authority, the courts keep documenting it and ordering those unlawful actions stopped.

It’s no surprise he’s going after law firms and judges.

Independence UK style:

The Sentencing Council's guidelines on pre-sentencing reports have been derided as 'two-tier' guidance despite an extensive consultation process.

But, Shabana Mahmoud now says she will 'legislate if necessary' to stop such a change, by which she means if she doesn't get what she wants she'll change the law.

So much for the 'independence' of the Judiciary, then... although such political actions are hardly unprecedented!

One word is going to start coming up more & more as the Court of the Tangerine Tyrant tries to extend the influence of its decisions (such as those against diversity policies), and that word is:

'extraterritoriality' - the projection of national legal sovereign power into other jurisdictions.

The US has always used forms of extraterritoriality, but Trump may be about to make this a much more contentious issue as he tries to reach deep into other domestic jurisdictions.

‘Authoritarian governments generally try to bolster their legitimacy by using #laws, decrees, & #court hearings to justify their actions,…creating, twisting, interpreting, or manipulating laws…to punish resistance. In this regard, the #Trump administration is operating like other authoritarian gov’ts… Respect for the #ruleoflaw has been replaced by contemptuous propaganda that judges who uphold the law are “corrupt” & lawyers who oppose his policies are “scum.”’ | SLaw slaw.ca/2025/03/25/the-us-as-a /2
