Today's "history is boring" lesson: The Declaration of Independence lists "For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" as one of the reasons Independence was important.
Steve Bellovin@adamshostack Like so much else in the US constitution, there is a provision specifically aimed at that abuse. In particular, the Sixth Amendment starts "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law."
JackieM“This policy was so obnoxious to the Americans that the first Continental Congress on October 21, 1774, adopted a resolution declaring "That the seizing, or attempting to seize, any person in America, in order to transport such person beyond the sea, for trial of offenses, committed within the body of a county in America, being against law, will justify, and ought to meet with resistance and reprisal."
Resistance and reprisal eh? Hmmm

tessarakt@Jackiemauro @adamshostack Yupp. Their Supreme "Court" has just declared armed resistance legal.
Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@tessarakt @Jackiemauro @adamshostack According to some fans of the 2nd Amendment that is also the reason for that one, but it seems many of those adherents have ended up on the side that gleefully sets aside the rest of the Bill of Rights…

Le Chep@Jackiemauro @adamshostack yes but there is a land bridge from CONUS to El Salvador, so this doesn't apply irrespective of the means of transportation used
(Followed by the usual dissent by radical leftist woke Justices, etc.)

@adamshostack that’s about fetching not pushing :)
SylvainI'm no expert in the US constitution, but the way I see it is that this was protection against the crown bringing US citizens before a court in England. I believe this will not protect anyone against what is happening now.

Karsten Johansson@adamshostack If this happened under Biden, the Repugnants would be screaming bloody hell to do everything he could to bring the wrongfully "evicted" people home, and it would be the total end of that project.
Under Trump, it's all self-serving. No corrections are made because no wrongs are admitted [cf. Tariffs].
Alice@adamshostack That factoid would make a great protest sign. 🤔
