   i wish this whole shitty moment would make people reevaluate in their heads what it means when the government classifies someone as a "criminal." mostly they are just normal people and something went wrong. but it seems like not yet. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/canadian-detained-us-immigration-jasmine-mooney

     @peter Given they seem to be ignoring Habeus Corpus and just doing stuff without any Due Process such as shipping people off to Guantanamo (on military flights) and questionable places in South America, I'd say this is actively dangerous for citizens as well.

     it seems like **tons** of people have been caught up in this, but we don't hear their stories because they aren't pretty white ladies or don't have the phone number of an immigrants rights NGO. spread the word to anyone you can. the combination of malice and incompetence makes this a **very** dangerous moment to be in the United States as a non-citizen.

     this seems like a very, very dangerous development that I have not seen mentioned anywhere else. **especially** if you are Venezuelan or from some other country where the US doesn't have diplomatic relations, if you get picked up by immigration, you cannot be deported, and therefore, **you get placed in indefinite detention** it's a Kafkaian black hole: you can't be deported, but you can't be released.

     anyway, shit is getting grim. **lots** of people have overstayed tourist or student visas for a few days before leaving because they didn't think it was a big deal, and it isn't. but if you did this, **do not go back to the US** even for vacation.

     wtf does "taken off the streets" mean? think about it. it means **permanently imprisoned**

     ultimate FAFO is white people looking the other way on mass incarceration until whoops now it's you thrown down a hole and forgotten.

     @peter Habeus Corpus is literally "produce the body." When they refuse to do that, you can choose to assume the worst, that the government has murdered the person. And that would be a safe assumption for many of the worst regimes in history.

     @peter When a regime stops adhering to judicial processes and record keeping because it is inconvenient, it isn't a big jump to "storing and feeding these undesirables is inconvenient" and then it is right down the path to bullets, ditches, ovens and pushing people out of helicopters.

     People should be VERY concerned when a country stops giving people their day in court. There is a reason that ANYONE can file a Habeus portion on behalf of anyone else.
