“the White House’s social media team had no such concerns as it gleefully bragged about sending dozens of people to a Central American prison without any proof of their guilt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The White House says most of the migrants deported over the weekend were believed to be Tren de Aragua members (while others were part of MS-13, a different gang). However, immigration attorneys have pointed out<\/a> that the administration has not released detailed information<\/a> about the individuals<\/a> or explained why they were chosen for deportation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Trump administration’s determination to ignore due process for would-be deportees would be worrying even if it were happening in a vacuum. However, that’s not the case. From the relatively low-stakes willingness of the Department of Government Efficiency to move fast and not wait for permission, to the Trump administration’s attempt to punish law firms<\/a> for working with the administration’s opponents<\/a>, and its ongoing attempt<\/a> to undermine birthright citizenship<\/a>, the White House is showing little regard<\/a> for limits on executive authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On several different issues, the Trump administration’s “actions reflect an unorthodox conception of American government in which the president pushes his powers<\/a> to the outer limits, with diminished regard for the checks and balances provided by the legislative and judicial branches,” is how The Wall Street Journal <\/em>summarized<\/a> things on Monday.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
