If they can deport someone without validating their residency status (due process) , what’s to stop them from deporting citizens “on accident”.
Additionally, they’re ignoring the courts (for now). If the courts don’t escalate and/or Trump/Republicans don’t back down, then this is a really worrying precedent to allow and would effectively allow Republicans to “dissappear” anyone they wanted.
Feels like the end of due process and move to effective dictatorship, but others might draw the line somewhere else. What happened at Gitmo was very dictatorship, but wasn’t done to US citizens or people “technically” in the US.
