ICE grabbed a roofer in Missouri with no warrant. His wife self-deported so her kids wouldn’t lose both parents. Both found bound and shot in a cane field. Their 14-month-old was crying next to her mother’s body, dehydrated. Not a side effect. The point. Enough of this bullshit.

BREAKING: "MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE" — Sotomayor delivers FURIOUS bench dissent after Supreme Court legalizes Trump’s immigration crackdown.

In a single devastating day, the Supreme Court's conservative majority handed Donald Trump TWO sweeping immigration victories — and Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivered a furious dissent warning of the human cost.

First, the 6-3 court stripped Temporary Protected Status from 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians — clearing a path to deport hundreds of thousands of people back to countries devastated by war and disaster. The same protections are now in jeopardy for a dozen other nations.

Justice Elena Kagan's dissent quoted Trump's own vile words about Haitians, writing that his statements "fairly SHOUT, in their racial undertones and overtones alike, that race entered into the president's resolve to remove Haitians from this country." This is the man who falsely claimed Haitians were eating people's pets and called Haiti a "filthy, dirty, disgusting" country. The court somehow decided that wasn't racial hostility, akin to declaring that water isn’t wet.

Then came the second blow. The court ruled Trump can physically turn away asylum seekers at the border — blocking them from setting foot on U.S. soil where the law would let them claim protection. The conservative majority absurdly decided that migrants standing AT the border haven't "arrived" until they fully cross.

Justice Sotomayor was so outraged she read her dissent ALOUD from the bench — a move reserved for the most profound disagreements — visibly catching Justice Alito off guard.

"The consequences of today's decision are predictable," Sotomayor declared. "MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE. More people will attempt to cross the border illegally, and some will make it while others will not."

She demolished the majority's tortured logic, comparing it to a train conductor announcing the train is "arriving at Penn Station" while it's still half a mile away. "It makes no sense," she said.

She's right. Many asylum seekers face torture and death in their home countries — and sending them back is a cruel rejection of their plights. Then, there are the doctors, engineers, students, and caregivers who were given shelter under earlier administrations and built lives here legally under their Temporary Protected Status. Now they face deportation to nations where, their lawyers say, they too could be KILLED.

This is what a Supreme Court captured by right-wing ideologues delivers: legal cover for cruelty, dressed up as statutory interpretation, while a solitary justice with compassion warns of the human consequences.

Innocent people will die. And the court can’t say it wasn’t warned.

Please like and share if you think the Supreme Court needs urgent reform to counteract the right-wing bias currently built into its majority!
