Stephen Miller Egregiously Misrepresented a Supreme Court Order While Trump Nodded Along

“At the heart of the Trump administration’s position is a naked assertion of unchecked power.

What is worse, by the administration’s own admission, it does not matter whether the deportee was lawfully removed in the first place or not. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor has accurately observed, “the Government’s argument…implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.” The word for what Sotomayor is describing is despotism.”
