Let me break this down:

Openly defying court orders multiple times= dictatorship Threatening to jail political opponents despite them being pardoned= dictatorship Deporting American citizens who have legal citizenship= dictatorship Can’t put it any simpler.

This is getting uglier. Ugh

I just want to know when and how the nightmare will end

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It will end in (threats of) vioIence. Either by the people being completely owned or taking a stand.

The violence has already started on the part of the federal government.

Deporting doctors, unbelievable.

Everything they do suggests the goal is just to ruin the USA and its (former) allies.

So what are we gonna do about it?

[–] ayyy 12 points 22 hours ago

I noticed my local Tesla dealership is not currently on fire…

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Watch in horror

Seems like a good couple million dollar lawsuit against the government, especially if done against a judge's orders.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The article is about Trump (who has a history of ignoring court rulings) completely ignoring the courts, and your suggested solution is... the courts?

Wake the fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, the court ruled against him and he doesn't control the purse strings. So if courts rule that rights were violated and the government can be sued I don't think he can dodge that easily.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago

It'll be appealed to scotus, who have ruled that he has immunity for official acts, and the claimant can get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And then if the executive branch ignores that decision?

There needs to be another plan than let them battle it out on the courts if they ignore court orders.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought the executive branch didn't control the budget, so wouldn't really be able to block it. But I'm not American and don't know the US system that well.

Don’t forget that the DOJ is using a new tactic… of requiring those that bring law suits against them to fully fund in advance the entire trial.

Maybe I'm being silly, but Canada paid $10.5 million to a Guantanamo Bay inmate because his rights were violated. So I guess at the very least we better make sure to advocate strongly for any Canadians caught up in this mess.

[–] earphone843 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's Canada. They don't have a dictator in charge.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whoever ignored that order should be held in contempt. You don't just "whoopsie" a judge's order.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Their story is that she was already deported before they got the order.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago

The order was given well before she was put on a flight. Someone somewhere along the way caused it either to be ignored or delayed relaying it long enough that she was put on the flight.

[–] ayyy 7 points 22 hours ago

Not even that. They claimed they weren’t told officially.
