Art 1, Sec 9, Clause 3
Nullification
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

"A bill of attainder is... legislation that declares a party is guilty of a crime. They allow the government to punish a party for a perceived crime without first going through the trial process."

Parts of the Constitution Abruptly Disappear From Government Website Portions of the United States Constitution have vanished from the official government website. The website, Constitution.Congress.gov—operated by the Library of Congress and the U.S. Copyright Office—...

I contend this is a mistake rather than malice. But, man.

Constant vigilance.

We know the government is trying to erase data (NIH vaccine studies, etc.), but this seems like a dumb one to purposefully do. To what end?

Public acknowledgement and quick fix. At least they didn't double-down and try to gaslight into a Mandela effect.

An old legal procedure is getting asylum-seekers out of ICE detention On Friday, a 20-year-old asylum seeker walked into immigration court at 630 Sansome St. As has become routine, he was arrested and detained.

Evolution.

Immigration lawyers are using habeas corpus petitions to fight ICE detentions.

Super time-sensitive. The petition has to be filed in the location where the person is. ICE shuffling makes it hard to pin down a person and a location.

‘It’s bush league’: Florida law enforcement agencies aren’t happy with how ICE is recruiting local officers | CNN Politics Armed with tens of billions of dollars in funding, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is working fervently to expand its ranks.

ICE is stealing local law enforcement in Florida.

Internecine conflict in the violation of Constitutional rights is a good thing.

I'd love to see a Civics test for anyone pursuing political office.

Which amendment secures due process for all persons in the US? (14th)

What section of the Constitution creates an independent judiciary that is separate and equal to the Congress and the executive? (Article 3.)

‘This is sending a message’: DOJ moves to sanction lawyer who took pro bono deportation case The move comes after Trump directed the department to seek to sanction lawyers “who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation.”

Solo lawyer takes on pro bono immigration case and files temporary restraining order to halt deportation.

DoJ pursues sanctions for "frivolous litigation."

Everyone in US has right to vigorous legal counsel.

This is government intimidation.

Wow. We did not give Japanese citizens due process in World War 2, but rather sent them to internment camps with no due process.

Ronald Reagan provided a formal apology on behalf of the US government 40 years later.

Some images trigger something visceral.

American priorities.

Judge to consider halting operations at 'Alligator Alcatraz' over environmental concerns A federal judge will hold a hearing Wednesday on whether to block operations at the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" facility due to environmental concerns.

Capone got shut down on tax evasion.

Maybe the US' first concentration camp gets shut down because they violated federal law and skipped the impact study.

And when the admin refuses to obey the court order?

The crisis we all can all see coming.

ICE Offers, Then Quickly Withdraws, Cash Bonuses for Swiftly Deporting Immigrants

US citizens already being detained.

"That is so godly unethical,” said a former senior homeland security official. “You can’t incentivize government agents to short circuit people’s procedural rights. Would you pay a bonus to judges for wrapping up trials faster?”

ICE follows starkly different playbooks in how it’s arresting immigrants in red and blue states, data shows | CNN Arrests in red states more likely occur in jails or prisons, while in blue states, more arrests happen in the community.

This is insidious.

#ICE detaining people from prisons in red states, but detaining workers and people off the street in blue states.

Red states don't see their neighbors getting kidnapped.

Cause: blue states don't allow local LE to share info with ICE.
