AnarchoNinaAnalyzesLast Friday, we talked a little bit about Stephen Miller trotting out onto the White House lawn out of seemingly nowhere to threaten the judiciary and folks who oppose the regime's fascist mass deportation schemes, with the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus; which means your right to challenge your detention in court. As I pointed out then, what Miller was proposing effectively, was enacting yet another emergency power based on a made up invasion that's already been rejected by (3 now) judges in court, to indefinitely cage or imprison anyone they want for any reason they want; this is of course because if you have no right to challenge your detention in court, it literally does not matter why the government says they're holding you - they just can. Of course Miller couched this in language that both threatened judges and implied this authority would be used to round up and deport migrants, but the power Trump's unofficial minister of nazism was proposing here could and likely would be used to target virtually anyone who opposes the regime and its fascist agenda. As I also pointed out however, Miller's threat would be heinously illegal; the fascist administration would be effectively suspending the constitution, and the power to do that traditionally does not reside with the office of the President for very good reasons. There is only one time in US History where a President suspended the writ of habeas corpus on his own, and that president was literally Abe Lincoln during the actual fucking civil war. Furthermore, the situation was understood to be so extraordinary and potentially dangerous, that Congress got together after the fact and legitimized Lincoln's play; the other three times the government has suspended “The Great Writ” all required congressional authorization. All of which is of course to say nothing of the fact that doing so *requires* a threat to public safety that necessitates even considering suspending the writ in the first place; no such threat exists here obviously, Miller and Der Leader are simply upset that judges have insisted the government respect the due process rights of migrants. Of course, I can tell you all this, but I am not a lawyer or a professor of law. So to make the point abundantly clear, I'd like to share this Truthout Article by Marjorie Cohn, who is in fact a law professor, to explain all the ways this is definitely illegal fascist bullshit.<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/stephen-millers-argument-for-suspending-habeas-corpus-is-legal-garbage/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://truthout.org/articles/stephen-millers-argument-for-suspending-habeas-corpus-is-legal-garbage/</a>Stephen Miller’s Argument for Suspending Habeas Corpus Is Legal Garbage“A suspension [of habeas corpus] is temporary, but the power it confers is extraordinary,” Barrett and Katyal wrote in their National Constitution Center article. “When a suspension is in effect, the president, typically acting through subordinates, can imprison people indefinitely without any judicial check.”It is becoming increasingly clear that Trump will stop at nothing to impose his will – the commands of the Constitution notwithstanding. On May 4, Trump refused to say on “Meet the Press” that he was bound by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution.For now, federal judges are serving as speed bumps in Trump’s cruel and illegal war on migrants. Trump has packed the Supreme Court with radical right-wingers who may well overturn some of those lower court rulings. But Trump has already defied the high court’s ruling that his administration facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. We can only hope that the “justices” on the high court maintain their reverence for the Constitution, even though the president does not."I know that legal language makes a lot of people's eyes glaze over, but I strongly encourage you to just read the whole article because it does a very good job of explaining precisely how illegal and authoritarian Miller's proposal to suspend the writ of habeas corpus actually is. The gist of it however is that president Trump doesn't have the power to suspend the writ without Congressional authorization, there absolutely is no invasion to justify doing so, and Miller is openly lying when he says that the Immigration and Nationality Act strips judiciary oversight and appellate review for the regime's mass deportation activities. Of course as the author (and many others) point out, the illegality of their activities has only marginally stopped Trump so far; the regime is currently ignoring multiple court orders and the President is openly declaring that he's not sure if he has an obligation to uphold the US Constitution in media interviews; despite the fact that upholding the Constitution is one of the things all Presidents swear to do on live TV while being inaugurated. Miller was certainly trying to cow American judges to ram through Trump's mass deportation project, but we've seen the pattern of this regime transforming fascist musings into enforced reality far too many times to believe he's not being serious.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Law</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/HabeasCorpus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HabeasCorpus</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOP</a>

Chuck Darwin⭐️Immigration Decisions Are Entitled to Appellate Review⭐️Finally, Miller is wrong because the Immigration and Nationality Act does not categorically strip appellate review (a legal examination of a lower court’s proceedings to determine if its ruling was made in error) from immigration cases. Although immigration matters generally start in immigration courts, appeals from those decisions are routinely heard by Article III (federal) courts.In Boumediene v. Bush, the Supreme Court ruled that noncitizens held within the United States have the right to seek a writ of habeas corpus.Several of the noncitizens that the Trump administration has been trying to deport – including Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk – filed habeas corpus petitions challenging their deportation.“A suspension [of habeas corpus] is temporary, but the power it confers is extraordinary,” Barrett and Katyal wrote in their National Constitution Center article. “When a suspension is in effect, the president, typically acting through subordinates, can imprison people indefinitely without any judicial check.”It is becoming increasingly clear that Trump will stop at nothing to impose his will – the commands of the Constitution notwithstanding. On May 4, Trump refused to say on “Meet the Press” that he was bound by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution.For now, federal judges are serving as speed bumps in Trump’s cruel and illegal war on migrants. Trump has packed the Supreme Court with radical right-wingers who may well overturn some of those lower court rulings. But Trump has already defied the high court’s order that his administration facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. We can only hope that the “justices” on the high court maintain their reverence for the Constitution, even though the president does not. <a href="https://c.im/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/habeascorpus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#habeascorpus</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SuspensionClause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SuspensionClause</a><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/stephen-millers-argument-for-suspending-habeas-corpus-is-legal-garbage/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://truthout.org/articles/stephen-millers-argument-for-suspending-habeas-corpus-is-legal-garbage/</a>

Chuck Darwin⭐️There Is No “Invasion”⭐️Miller is also wrong because there is no “invasion” currently occurring in the United States, despite several of Donald Trump’s January 20 executive orders declaring that there is an invasion of the southern U.S. border.For example, in his order entitled “Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion,” Trump declared, “I have determined that the current state of the southern border reveals that the Federal Government has failed in fulfilling this obligation to the States and hereby declare that an invasion is ongoing at the southern border, which requires the Federal Government to take measures to fulfill its obligation to the States.” He claimed that he was suspending what he described as “the physical entry of aliens involved in an invasion into the United States across the southern border until I determine that the invasion has concluded.”Trump also signed an order titled “Clarifying the Military’s Role in Protecting the Territorial Integrity of the United States.” It calls the situation at the southern border an “invasion” that includes “unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, and other criminal activities.”Rear Adm. James McPherson, former U.S. undersecretary of the Army, said on PBS “NewsHour” that “We don’t have a war going on at the southern border. We have a law enforcement crisis perhaps. But that’s not an invasion.”Several federal courts have also rejected the idea that there is an ongoing invasion at the southern border.In February 2024, a federal district court in Texas rejected the equating of immigration with an invasion, concluding that “surges in immigration do not constitute an ‘invasion’ within the meaning of the Constitution.”During the first week of May, three federal judges rejected the Trump administration’s argument that the immigration situation constitutes an invasion.U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., in South Texas, granted a petition for writ of habeas corpus on May 1 and rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to justify using the Alien Enemies Act by arguing that the U.S. was being invaded by a Venezuelan gang.On May 6, U.S. District Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney in Colorado called the Trump administration’s definition of invasion “unpersuasive” and rejected the government’s argument that the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was beyond judicial review.Also on May 6, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein in New York held that the Tren de Aragua gang (TdA) is not attacking the United States. “TdA may well be engaged in narcotics trafficking, but that is a criminal matter, not an invasion or predatory incursion,” he wrote, and halted deportations from most of New York City and nearby areas.“[Hellerstein] joined several others in correctly recognizing the president cannot simply declare that there’s been an invasion and then invoke a wartime authority during peacetime to send individuals to a Gulag-type prison in El Salvador without even giving them due process,” ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said in a statement.In addition, Miller failed to mention the second part of the test for “invasion” set forth in the Suspension Clause, namely, that the public safety may require suspension. <a href="https://c.im/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/habeascorpus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#habeascorpus</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SuspensionClause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SuspensionClause</a>

Chuck DarwinMiller’s alarming declaration contains several legal and factual errors.⭐️Only Congress, Not the President, Has the Power to Suspend Habeas Corpus⭐️Contrary to Miller’s assertion, only Congress — not the president — can suspend habeas corpus, and only in rare circumstances. “Although [the Suspension Clause] does not state that suspension must be effected by, or authorized by, a legislative act, it has been so understood, consistent with English practice and the Clause’s placement in Article I,” Antonin Scalia wrote in dissent in the Supreme Court’s 2004 decision in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. (Article I of the Constitution lists the powers of Congress).Amy Coney Barrett, a current member of the Supreme Court, agrees with Scalia. When she was a judge on the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, she and Neal K. Katyal, a professor at Georgetown Law Center, wrote for National Constitution Center: “The Clause does not specify which branch of government has the authority to suspend the privilege of the writ, but most agree that only Congress can do it.” That is because the Suspension Clause is located in the section of the Constitution that details the powers of Congress, and habeas corpus has only been suspended four times since the Constitution was ratified in 1789.President Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War, but Congress then enacted a statute allowing the suspension. In the other three instances, the president enacted the suspension only after first obtaining congressional authorization: in 11 South Carolina counties overrun by the Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction; in two provinces of the Philippines in 1905 to quash an Indigenous rebellion against colonial rule by the U.S.; and in Hawaii after Pearl Harbor was bombed. <a href="https://c.im/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/habeascorpus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#habeascorpus</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SuspensionClause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SuspensionClause</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesAs the Trump regime welcomes 59 (specifically) white South African "refugees" to the United States, most corporate media outlets are (accidentally or otherwise) obfuscating the fascist ideology behind Trump's only asylum exemption by describing the situation as "baffling." The reality however is that in actively favoring and financially supporting white South African migrants while denying all other asylum claims, Trump is governing by nazi conspiracy theory and exposing the white nationalist agenda behind the regime's immigration policies. <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/trump-is-bending-the-refugee-program-to-fit-his-white-nationalist-agenda/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://truthout.org/articles/trump-is-bending-the-refugee-program-to-fit-his-white-nationalist-agenda/</a>Trump Is Bending the Refugee Program to Fit His White Nationalist Agenda"Trump’s executive order prioritizing South Africans under the refugee program is likely due in part to his close relationship with Elon Musk. The billionaire SpaceX CEO grew up in a wealthy family in apartheid-era South Africa and has publicly claimed that white South Africans are persecuted for their race. Peter Thiel, another one of Trump’s far right billionaire backers, also spent years in apartheid South Africa and has praised that system.But Trump’s fixation on Afrikaners runs deeper than his political allyships: For years, Trump has indirectly platformed the “white genocide” conspiracies of South Africa’s far right. That rhetoric — recently manifested in concrete policies and actions — lays bare the white nationalism at the heart of Trump’s agenda."If you've been following my other account, you already know I've had some words for the mainstream media coverage of this event, so I'll keep this part brief. The fact that the vast majority of news outlets aren't expressly reporting that Trump is arguing that a years old neonazi conspiracy theory is true when he directly says the US government is intervening because white South Africans are the target of a "genocide" is absolutely fucking outrageous. Simply repeating the racist lies powerful fascists utter and hoping the reader will figure out this is nazi conspiracy shit straight from the front page of Stormfront is not fucking journalism, it's stenography. As the author of this piece demonstrates, a little bit of research exposes that Trump is literally governing by nazi conspiracy theory."Fringe panic about a “white genocide” in South Africa gained mainstream prevalence during Trump’s first presidency, when right-wing groups pushed the lie that a string of murders on commercial farms was disproportionately targeting white South Africans. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson helped sensationalize these claims at the time, boosting stories about South African farm attacks alongside inflammatory rhetoric about undocumented immigration in the U.S. and a domestic “fertility crisis.” As many analysts pointed out, Carlson’s favored talking points echoed the “great replacement theory,” the white supremacist myth that white U.S. citizens are being systemically erased by people of color."As the article points out, the existence of a "white genocide" in post-apartheid South Africa is literally a cracker supremacist conspiracy theory promoted by a racist organization in South Africa; it's not real, far right politicians in the Pig Empire are treating years old, sensationalist white nationalist propaganda (that wasn't believable even in the moment) as if it were the gospel truth, and the whole thing was thrown out of court in South Africa because again, it's a nazi conspiracy theory. Stormfront posters and racist Tucker Carlson conspiracies are now governing White House immigration policy.Which brings us to the larger, overarching meaning behind this sham "refugee" program; namely that the Trump regime's immigration policies are blatantly white nationalist, and clearly an extension of the administration's fascist quest to support global white supremacy while transforming America into a white ethnostate. If banning asylum claims from countries full of predominantly brown people, while paying real cash money to lure South African migrants and promote a nazi conspiracy theory about post-apartheid "white genocide" didn't prove the point, the contents of Trump's original executive order allowing this fascist bullshit probably should. In denying all aid to South Africa, Trump's order directly railed against reparations-style land redistribution policies, and South Africa's case against Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza; it's not hard to see the white nationalist animus behind these arguments, but when Trump goes a step father and directly supports the "white genocide" nazi conspiracy theory when explaining his policies, we're well past the realm of plausible deniability here. It is not enough for Trump to permanently enshrine white nationalism in American policy, this administration is determined to enforce white supremacy on a global scale. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Immigration</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthAfrica</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TuckerCarlson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TuckerCarlson</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NeoNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoNazis</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Refugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Refugees</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CosnpiracyTheories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CosnpiracyTheories</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeterThiel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ForeignPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForeignPolicy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Racism</a>
