I very much hope US legislators have been talking to military commanders since the election result last year. I have seen no evidence at all of this. It seems like the obvious thing to do when the constitution is under such threat. The US officer's oath doesn't contain anything about obeying the president, that I know of.
I hope the absence of evidence is because of the conversations being clandestine, not evidence of absence.
The #Constitution doesn't actually say anywhere that non citizens can't vote or people under 18 can't #vote.
It only says that #citizens over 18 *must be allowed* to vote. It doesn't say anything at all about anyone else.
Why is this so fucking hard?
You know you are in an authoritarian state when your government calls legitimate criticism "terrorism".

[Ab]Using the #budget - #reconciliation process, #Republican *lawmakers* are now preparing to lavish #ICE with a colossal #funding increase—enough to pay for the kind of #social & #demographic transformation of the US that #immigration hard-liners have long fantasized about achieving.

#Trump’s tactics have spread #fear & created a showreel of social-media-ready highlights for the White House. But they have not brought #ICE much closer to delivering the “millions” of deportations…Trump has set as a goal.
“We need more money,” #TomHoman, Trump’s “border czar,” told Miroff in an interview. “We won’t fail if we get the resources we need.”

We’re About to Find Out What #MassDeportation Really Looks Like
The #Trump admin’s campaign to remove millions of people from the #US could soon be supercharged by #Congress.

Man, #DHS General Counsel Joe Mazzara is so screwed. He’s going to be their fall guy. Though of course Trump will pardon him. But still, he’s signed “under penalty of perjury” several of these affidavits. He better be disbarred.

The #Trump #DOJ court ordered daily update on #KilmarAbregoGarcia says that it has “no further updates” on their efforts to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.
Yeah. We know. Listen to Senator #VanHollen’s statement, you jagoffs didn’t even ask the US embassy in #ElSalvador TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!

SMART #Union General President Michael Coleman tells CNN "We’ve done our own check... we have ZERO INDICATION" that #KilmarAbregoGarcia is a gang member.
Coleman demands #AbregoGarcia be brought home & given the #DueProcess he is afforded under the US #Constitution.
@gooba42 The issue is the survival of the #Constitution vs authoritarianism and if that is tribalism, so be it. More relevant is that most don’t go past the headline so a seed of fact should be planted right there, for as many to see as possible.
Senator #VanHollen — also refreshingly given the lies & obfuscation from the #Trump admin & #DOJ — tells EXACTLY what he did today in #ElSalvador to try to see or speak with #KilmarAbregoGarcia, exactly what the VP of El Salvador said in response to his queries & exactly what steps he will take now.
Ahhh (sigh of relief) #Democrats are so nice that way.

“This is such a strawman. You represent the executive branch. If you don't think you have enough resources to put people through immigration court, ASK CONGRESS for funding!
That's your role under the Constitution! Not to say "Oh, due process is hard, let's ignore it."

Neighbors delivered food, water and gasoline to the man, who was with a child in a van, as ICE agents stayed at the home for hours."
