Still waiting to hear back from the UI on my questions and records request. BUT they did send over an internal talking point memo that offers additional insight.
@RPSLLC@realDonaldTrump The Alien Enemies Act absolutely applies...when it has been proven in a court of law that the individual falls within its scope. That has not been proven, hence DUE PROCESS. Again, it's right there in the most recent appeal order:
@sherilynnbookie@kyledcheney SCOTUS said the Alien Enemies Act doesn’t override due process. The government still had to follow court orders but they didn’t. That’s why the deportation was ruled illegal. You can’t break the law while claiming to enforce it.
"Rallying to the defense of American constitutional democracy has become alarmingly difficult after years of insistence ... that the system is irreparably broken," @Kasparov63 writes. Donald Trump "may be reminding Americans about what they stand to lose": https://t.co/SrIquN9duF
From previous CNN fact check: Social Security actually only pays checks to fewer than 90,000 people over the age of 100. That’s in line with the US population of centenarians.
KAITLAN COLLINS: So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted?
JD VANCE: Yes
COLLINS: Ok, I'm just checking, because you helped raise money for people who did so on January 6. (May 2024) @atrupar
