So he'll direct the DOJ to prosecute his political enemies (which is why Biden pardoned them), and then they'll present their pardons in court as defence. He probably won't win, but the point is punishment, not winning.

Don’t worry he is deporting people now who have legal status. I am a citizen but I never used to be so we will see what happens when I return from Europe.
Chicago: On the Edge.
I’m not a citizen, hence the Talkback handle
Wife just said “Lower case t” with a far less jokey tone.I see that with the techbro owned news sources already integrated into the project, the current us administration has moved quickly to shut down legitimate news sources committed (in some cases by law eg Voice of America) to providing independent bias free coverage.
It's continuing to look a lot like Putin/Fascism.
Well DUH!
Chicago: Outgunned.
We were about to apply for citizenship, changed tack on that now and just kicked off the process to renew our current green cards.
Still not sure where we’ll end up in 10 years time but the odds on me moving forward with Italian citizenship and a potential move back to Europe increase on a almost daily basis.
Senora Mus would move back to Italy tomorrow if she could.
El Salvador is currently favourite with the bookies.
Well ironically I was forced into Citizenship because they fucked up my naturalisation number by having me share it with three other people so when the finger print machines came into being at the airport they kept detaining me. I was told in no uncertain terms that this would not change unless I changed my status and became a citiizen. Something i had resisted because I didn't want to give up my British Citizenship. Turns out The USA didn't give a fuck about me renouncing because even if I moved back to Europe they could still charge me taxes as a member of the USA. Well bugger me.
So I have duel citizenhip and during the process I was told to let my Green card expire as I was changing statuses in the process. That is where the new adminstration are catching people who have been told to do the same and were legal but were between visas and taking the citizenship tests. I have been a Citizen for years now but they did give me shit at the interview for doing that even though I was told to. Nice to see some consistency in the system.
Anyway, this could be a problem for me but I would assume not as I am pretty sure I am now a fully fledged nutjob for at least ten years so I should be okay.
We will see when i travel at the end of the month.
Chicago: Bi-polar.
I don’t think I’ve had any interaction with the US govt where there wasn’t at least one instance of “who told you that? Well, they shouldn’t have.” And then obviously making it seem like it was my fault.
Late 90s INS was a shitshow of epic proportions.If you had left whilst on a green card, you’d still pay taxes whilst living outside the US, until your Green card expired - oh and charge you an exit tax as well.
Lovely.
Those greedy fcukers.
Chicago: Entrenched.
"It's possible that historians will look back at the moment that democracy in the United States died as the moment in which the administration executed the deportations, in flagrant disregard of court orders." The rule of law has been discarded in favour of dictat without any due process or recourse to justice.
