I’m no fancy Attorney General with a law degree from a Baptist university, but I’m pretty sure that you have to charge someone in order to prove it. And if you don’t charge them but still punish them, you’re a fucking tyrant.

Reporter: 60 Minutes reports that 75% of Venezuelan migrants deported to El Salvador had no criminal record. Attorney General Pam Bondi: They’re not Venezuelan migrants. They’re illegal aliens from Venezuela. They’re committing violent crimes. But we don’t have to charge them with a crime to prove it. Reporter: So 60 Minutes was right? Bondi: [Walks away.]

It's driving me insane that few note that "#DueProcess" is *literally* IN THE #CONSTITUTION.

AND...

It extends to EVERYONE ON U.S. SOIL (not just "citizens.") It's the entire reason "#Gitmo" exists. B/c if they were on U.S. soil, those prisoners would be entitled to Due Process.

It also bans "cruel & unusual punishment". #Deporting people to a prison known for torture qualifies.

The #Potus took an oath to "uphold the Constitution". This is unquestionably a violation. #Impeach

Before he became our second president, lawyer John Adams famously defended captured Red Coats who were involved in "The Boston Massacre" during the Revolutionary War.

We put them on trial b/c our #Constitution assured them of #DueProcess. The #FoundingFathers extended the right to EVERYONE b/c they believed Due Process WAS A HUMAN RIGHT.

John Adams' Defense of Eight British Soldiers Involved In The Boston Massacre

If I asked you when the first battle of the American Revolution occurred, you’d likely mention the Boston Massacre, picturing British soldiers firing indiscriminately into a crowd of innocent colonists. What you might not know is that Paul Revere actually popularized this propaganda against the British.

#BlondieBondi was on #FoxnewsSunday over the weekend and said, "If you're a Gang Member, I advise you to leave the country before we arrest & #deport you."

Someone should tell our #AG that "Not every gang member is an immigrant". 🤦‍♂️
