Summary
Immigration officials detained a US citizen for nearly 10 days in Arizona, according to court records and press reports.
On 8 April, a border patrol official found Hermosillo “without the proper immigration documents” and claimed that the young American had admitted entering the US illegally from Mexico.
On 17 April, a federal judge dismissed his case. “He did say he was a US citizen, but they didn’t believe him.”
“Under the Trump administration’s theory of the law, the government could have banished this U.S. citizen to a Salvadoran prison then refused to do anything to bring him back,” Mark Joseph Stern, a legal analyst for Slate, wrote on Bluesky. “This is why the Constitution guarantees due process to all. Could it be more obvious?”
You’re the one who said Nazi (in your previous post). I use the term fascist which is more accurate for this regime/movement and its supporters, though I don’t doubt that many in its ranks would also fall under and identify with the specific term Nazi.
I’m aware I used the term. It was just an additional thought I had that kind evolved and dovetailed in throughout the number of responses I got that occurred while I was replying to you.
I suppose historians will settle on a specific term, probably ‘maga’ (though I’d prefer ‘magat’), to apply to the members of this instance of fascism.
