Ghana faces growing criticism over US deportee agreement
From what I can see, President Mahama is a good man. I recommend his book.
This latest news (read first link in this post) illustrates how, so far, most foreign governments seem very reluctant to get on Trump’s bad side.
We see here that foreign leaders doing Trump’s bidding may start to backfire on them.
I’d like to ask this as an actual, not rhetorical, question:
There are lots of stories of US Citizens being detained in these raids, sometimes for multiple days. In the recent high profile Chicago raid, they even broke down the door and detained a black woman born here and having a clear US accent (so I read on the BBC yesterday; I can try to find a cite if someone demands).
Surely, whatever limits there may be on illegal alien rights, such people have all the normal and usual rights regardless of whether it’s an ICE raid? Have these people no recourse?
With a government that cares about laws and due process, of course they have recourse. We don’t have that government.
I wish there was a coalition of attorneys who would bring lawsuits on behalf of each and every person who is a victim of this regime. To step up to all “the shit that’s flooding the zone”, item by item. The zone flooding is working as planned, and I think fighting every instance of it would go a long way. Of course, not having a law degree myself, I have no right to volunteer another person’s time but I think it’s something that Dems should work on.
