    1 week ago | huffpost.com | Jessica Schulberg |Paul Blumenthal

    During his first presidential campaign nearly 10 years ago, Donald Trump promised to “load” up the infamous prison at Guantánamo Bay with “some bad dudes.” Weeks after Trump’s second inauguration, the administration put 10 migrants on a flight to Guantánamo, claiming without evidence that they were members of a Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua.

    The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that detainees held for removal by the Trump administration under the Alien Enemies Act are, in fact, owed due process, the right to know that they are being removed and given the opportunity to contest their detention and removal.

    2 weeks ago | huffpost.com | Paul Blumenthal

    In his first 2 1/2 months in office, President Donald Trump has embraced sweeping arbitrary executive power in a manner not previously seen in American history. He is circumventing Congress, ignoring the courts and using the power of the state to crush any opposition to his agenda. This is a turn away from liberal democracy and toward autocracy. This is exactly what Trump promised during his bid for a second term.
