deeply hate the distinction of "American citizens" here. it's also bad if they send non-citizens to a gulag. it's bad if—gasp—they send undocumented people to a gulag. it's bad if they send literally anyone to a gulag!!!

 Jon Favreau @jonfavs If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?

Crooked media podcasts have been talking about El Salvador since the beginning, so I would be surprised if he hasn't tweeted about this topic before.

The whole god damn problem here is treating rights as applying to some people but not others. All they have to do to take yours away is put you in one of the second class categories.

Exactly this. The constitution grants due process to anyone standing on US soil. Citizen or not. Depriving anyone of it is an affront to all of us.

It matters bc so many of them honestly don't care about immigrants. You can't compel them get involved to save immigrants unless they feel directly threatened as citizens. That's the sad reality of this nation.

Agree with the sentiment that Democratic leaders should be...doing something? Also agree with you. I mean, can't someone just say, it's bad to send people to El Salvador, what exactly is holding them back.

Paul W. @nerdpaulnyc.bsky.social

I think, in fairness here, he has been saying the same for any legal immigrants or green card holders as well. He's specifically trying to drive into people's minds that American citizens are next. Too many Americans support deporting immigrants under all circumstances, know that we are next people!

It’s also illegal to deport U.S. citizens or Anyone without due process! But this administration doesn’t seem to care about the law.

Yes it’s bad but if you want this to resonate with Americans—who often think something is only bad if they can imagine it happening to themselves—you need to show how yes they could literally be next.

It's gross, really, especially after Trump and Miller's smirking press conference. They are relying on our not caring about non citizens, and Trump undoubtedly thinks Kavanaugh will support this.

Bill Stewart @billstewart.bsky.social

Agreed. And most immigration violations aren't crimes; the worst they should be doing it dropping somebody at a border crossing or destination country airport, after giving them a fair trial. (And they shouldn't be doing that either.)

Blake Brown @antiquequaalude.bsky.social

It's possible - likely, I'd hope - that he was also openly vocal against that as well. He's also saying this now that Trump has openly said he's willing to do it. He's not making a distinction between one or the other. He's responding directly to Trump's own comments from today.

There is a large number of people in this country that don’t care what happens to non citizens. Specifying “American citizens” is more effective here.

Everyone should be appalled at Trump’s actions. Unfortunately, there is a distinction in many people’s minds between an immigrant and a citizen. Him being caught on camera saying he’s going to do it should matter.
