Dixon, who’s had legal permanent status in the U.S. for 50 years, had been in ICE custody since late February, when she was detained after coming back from a visit to the Philippines.

    That would result in many/most Americans likely returning to US soil. trump would be quite happy with all American citizens forced back inside our borders. That means those that oppose him are easier to oppress/silence.

      Proper procedure is to send anyone with a tattoo to El Salvador, if I understand correctly. “In a heartbeat”, I think was the essence of due process. It was looked into by Trump and his team and they went ahead with it, so it must be legal. Anyone who doesn’t want to be oppressed in the US can just get a tattoo. It seems to work.

        My understanding is that that is the old guidance. If you don’t have a tattoo, they’ll simply claim you do and when badgered for evidence they’ll pull out a sharpie and mark up a photo of you to crudely indicate you have a tattoo.

        At this point, they’d poorly photoshop a tattoo on anyone to pretend in a pinch, and they’d tattoo you for real to make it look believable.
