What does this mean for US citizens who are not immigrants and therefore do not have immigration docs
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.
Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.
Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump's belligerence abroad and cruelty at home are absolutely connected. So many Venezuelans have already been displaced by (bipartisan) US sanctions, and now Trump is threatening all-out war. Here in Chicago, people who came from Venezuela seeking sanctuary are being abducted from the streets.
