Taco Bell causing diarrhea is such a hack observation rooted in fallacy. I have never gotten diarrhea from Taco Bell nor has anyone I’ve ever talked to about the subject. Maybe looser logs than if I had eaten a steak and salad, but nothing that would ruin my britches.
The United States has three branches of government:
1. The guy who does whatever he wants
2. The people too scared to stop him
3. The courts he openly ignores
A few facts regardless of what side of the due process/deportation debate you're on raised by Vance:
1) Only reason Abrego Garcia case is a controversy is an immigration court blocked his deportation, and Trump Admin admitted he was "mistakenly" picked up by ICE.
2) SCOTUS ruled 9-0 (Thomas, Alito, etc.) that US must "facilitate" his return.
3) Ordinary deportations - sending someone back to their country of origin - are very quick and easy: it's done by a deportation "court" inside DOJ.
4) That's radically different than sending people to life in prison in a third country they have nothing to do with, based on allegations of criminality that are never proven. Due process is raised only with that.
5) SCOTUS also just ruled 9-0 (including Thomas, Alito, etc) that anyone Trump Admin wants to remove as an "alien enemy" under AEA first gets a habeas hearing to contest charges of gang membership.
6) A Trump-appointed judge in TX then, based on SCOTUS ruling, ordered AEA deportations of Venezuelans to El Salvador to cease pending a hearing.
These aren't "left-wing activist judges" doing this. It's also right-wing judges -- the ones most popular among the Right -- upholding the Bill of Rights (which has applied to everyone in the US, not just citizens, for at least 150 years).
Everything is awful. Our whole lives we’ve fought just for a small pittance, a crumb, a few extra hours PTO, a few more dollars, and what we’ve won is an alienated society where you can’t buy a home but you can be snatched off the street and sent to a prison camp.
