Merged Due process in the US

For some reason, charges for trespassing against the Newark mayor were dropped. This, the same day the Trump Regime decided to charge a congress woman with assault, which will likely be dismissed or dropped as well.

I think the folks in this administration are the masters of the nuisance arrest and the nuisance suit. If you arrest people in scatter-shot fashion, you have a chance some will be convicted, but all will be at least inconvenienced, most likely intimidated, and maybe impoverished, fired, or other good stuff, all without penalty. A mere arrest isn't as good as a conviction, but it's better than nothing. Normalizing a capricious, dangerous government now softens the people up for the coming debacle.

Moreover, when they go after mayors, Congress people and millionaire entertainers they're giving the message "If we'll go after them we'll go after you without a second thought, and you won't have the money or supporters to protect you".

And it seems like they were dropped via press conference with no notofication to the presiding judge.

Split Thread Thread 'ICE arrests mayor'

Ive seen no video evidence that ICE opened the gates for the group including the mayor. Repost it.

How did they get through the gates if they weren't opened?

The reason given was that DHS wanted to "move forward" from the issue. That's prosecutor code for an admission that they don't have enough evidence to convict. Interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba (in strong contention for the worst lawyer in the President's circle) personally argued at the arraignment, which is quite irregular. Normally this would have been argued by someone with criminal trial experience. What likely happened is that the rank-and-file AUSAs eventually convinced Habba there was no way they could win the case.

In addition, DHS invited Mayor Bakar for a tour of Delaney Hall, as he originally requested. This sudden change of heart could be an olive branch to the mayor in hopes that he doesn't try to go after DHS for wrongful arrest.

Member of Congress LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) has been charged with assaulting a federal officer. There is video that appears to show Rep. McIver shoving a uniformed officer. She maintains she was being pushed from behind.

Habba is the kind of solicitor that would fail to successfully prosecute a murder case if it was carried out in front of a HD camera with the peretrator fully identifiable, a full pre-written confession under no pressure and the suspect crying from the dock that he's guilty.
 
Dog killer issues illegal order.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, and will force existing students to transfer to other schools or lose their legal status, the Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the department to terminate the Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, the department said in a statement.

Harvard called the action illegal.

"The government’s action is unlawful. We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard’s ability to host international students and scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries and enrich the University – and this nation – immeasurably, the university said in as statement. "

So maybe I missed it or it turned up in another thread, but I see that it's happened again, In direct defiance of a court order, the administration has "deported" eight men, only one a Sudanese citizen, to South Sudan, without process, their whereabouts now uncertain. Or maybe to South Sudan. The plane was headed there but the administration refuses to say where it has actually gone. Despite direct contradiction of the court order, the administration stands by the action and claims it's entirely legal.

‘I’m not a criminal’: Military wife detained, deported at Honolulu airport.​

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Nicolle Saroukos of Sydney, Australia, was looking forward last Sunday to a three-week vacation in Honolulu with her mom.

“That’s where my mother and father had their honeymoon, so it held a very like sentimental place in her heart,” Saroukos, 25, said.

It was Saroukos’ third visit to see her husband, Matt, a U.S. Army lieutenant stationed on Oahu. The newlyweds married last December.

According to Saroukos, border officials told her they would contact her husband on her behalf, but she found out later they didn’t.

Saroukos said officials conducted a body cavity search, walked her through the airport in handcuffs, and drove her to the Federal Detention Center.

That's why they're deporting you. 34 felonies and you would be fine.

No they deported her because she was married to a US army officer. This would give them reasonable cause to think she might wish to emigrate to the US, but she was entering on a tourist visa. Deporting her without allowing her to see or speak to her husband was entirely justified (but not humane). Perhaps Australia might adopt a more reasonable response? Perhaps the US army could second him to another country where his wife would be allowed to visit. Having been deported the chances of her re-entering the country or getting a green card would seem slim.

If you're married to a US citizen who is currently residing in the US and are coming in on a tourist visa then you're likely to come under very close scrutiny, especially if the border guards decide that you have enough luggage to become resident.

I've been through US immigration many times as a non-US spouse of a US citizen (though in Mrs Don's case a non-resident) and am usually very closely quizzed about whether I intend to reside in the US. I presume that I got an easier ride because I'm male and likely to be the main wage earner and so less likely to want to come into the US on a whim. I also note that as I've got older, the quizzing has become less intense.
