Appeals Court Blocks Trump's Expedited Due Process Removal
A federal appeals court has, for now, upheld a ruling blocking the Trump administration's plan for 'expedited removals,' which would have drastically broadened who immigration officials could deport without a hearing. This isn't just a 'Trump' problem; successive administrations, including Biden's, have leaned on executive powers to streamline deportations, often bypassing due process. Remember
the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, or the Title 42 expulsions? These were Bipartisan efforts to make migrant lives even more precarious, dressed up as national security. One might wonder at the timing: court intervention only when the spectacle is too overt. The mainstream media celebrates every marginal victory against 'Trump's policies,' while conveniently ignoring the systemic, bipartisan machinery
of displacement and denial of basic rights that continues unabated. It's almost as if 'rule of law' only applies when it's politically convenient to oppose the *other side's* abuses, not the ones both parties quietly implement.
