THE OOPS DOCTRINE: Oops, we deported you illegally but, now that we did, it's a matter of 'foreign policy,' LOL, so you can do nothing about it in American courts. The only thing that *might* stop them is a direct and explicit order from the Supremes - which seems unlikely. That, or the streets.

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Anyone talking about secession? 'Blue' states pay far more into federal govt than we receive. The power of states like CA and NY is wildly diluted in the electoral college and senate. Know it's unlikely - science-fictional even - but think it's worth injecting into the conversation at this point.
