condoms for Gaza
The correction was that it was $60,000,000 per year, but not Gaza, it was for a global program. Still, it circles around to, why am I paying for this?
Not for condoms, but "Health Service". https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapnews.com%2Farticle%2Fgaz...
exporting people to foreign prisons without due process.
There are a lot of illegal immigration cases that require no due process and people can be expelled immediately. Quite a number of the people on those flights qualified for expulsion in that way. The questions are, first, can the Alien Enemies Act be applied in our current situation, and second, is a plane that has left US territory subject to US courts. I think the first is a bit of a stretch, but regarding the latter one, I think, is in some cases "no". A good and clearer example of this is, if you're on a train that crosses into Mexico and has the same crew driving the train, are you still subject to US jurisdiction? Definitely not. Anything would have to be co-ordinated with Mexican officials and performed by Mexican officials. I don't know how this would apply to aircraft, though. Much of the time of the flights were over Mexico and Mexican waters.
Even if the plane was in Mexico, it is still US flagged carrier. It has to abide by US law. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.runsensible.com%2Fbl.... Additionally, some of the people on the plane already had pending court hearing scheduled and were still deported. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fabcnews.go.com%2FPolitic... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pbs.org%2Fnewshour%2Fp... And, I believe you can still fight the deportation or internment camps, like people did in WWII. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ilrc.org%2Fsites%2Fdef...
Also, were people from Venezuela sent to El Salvador?
