A reward for the full-scale invasion of a sovereign, democratic country that the United States and its European allies support.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
β’Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
β’Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws
This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
Miller's choice:
ICE officers told the couple they could leave US with their child & return to their native Russia, which they had fled seeking political asylum. Or they could remain in immigration detention in US β but their 8 y.o. son, Maksim, would be taken away

From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/
