Gulags Okay with SCOTUS

Yesterday, the Supreme Court MAGA majority issued a decision with no reasoning that the Trump regime can deport people to countries they are not from, without giving them an additional opportunity to contest whether they face persecution or other forms of mistreatment there:

I once again hate to admit I couldn't believe they took this clearly unconstitutional action. But of course they did.

And given what else is going on, it's not getting anywhere near enough attention.

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

Today the GOP justices on the Supreme Court endorsed migrants being sold into slavery. They'll claim otherwise, but that's the reality — today's decision permits Trump to send people from countries around the world to any global hellhole that accepts a U.S. financial incentive.

What is the point of having a constitution if it allows this? “Humans should not be subjected to torture” is an extremely basic principle that should never have to be explained or justified.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

And then today, a small sliver of hope:

NEW: Judge Murphy says the 8 men in Djibouti on their way to South Sudan WILL GET THE DUE PROCESS he previously ordered, saying that his remedial order remains in effect despite the Supreme Court's unreasoned order lifting the stay on his class-wide injunction.
